View Full Version : battered beauty: audtion prep.

It was audition time again today. A ‘call back’ audition for a frozen food company (oh joy!). I had to wield a cricket bat to a piece of unsuspecting food to ‘batter it’. All in a days work.

A lot of prep went into my ‘perky girlfriend’ look. My first line of attack (long overdue) was to change my brows. I have very red hair right now. I had grown too used to my long dark locks and had not updated the brows with the hair change (naughty!).

I began with a lightening process, then an application of brown tint, followed by an application of red tint. Voiola! Colour matched brows! (see the picture below there is an after shot and a before)

This process is very soon to be available here at adore so stay tuned.

My hair is looking a little rock and roll these days, not so much ‘perky’. A good shampoo with some Mop Glisten (which keeps the colour in) followed by some Kevin Murphy Anti Gravity and a touch of old fashioned mousse for additional hold. Then a blow-dry and an attack of the curling iron did the trick! Seemingly effortless bouncy hair.

I am in debt to my Heather Pink Clarins lip liner. It is the one thing I can rely on for the perfect natural shade of lips (I fill in the lip area entirely and then apply a touch of gloss).

My other staples for confidence are the Becca Loose Transcucent Powder, Bloom Sheer Colour Cream Blush in Rosie and my Clarins Wonder Volume Mascara!

I don't know what I would do without my air stockings (in natural shade) I use the product mainly on my decolotage for a flawless look when wearing a singlet!

To complete the ‘perky girlfriend look’ I coupled some blue jeans with a black tank top with a red wrap around top (a bit daggy) on top. Some ballet flats finished the look and I was ready to handle that cricket bat with a suitably perky smile.

What air stockings do you use Allison? That is such a good idea.

I am so glad you added in a full pic. I have been dying to see the hair. It looks great, very sexy but natural, like you're not trying too hard. Great job on the brows. You are one hot chicky!

Allison,
I think your hair looks gorgeous. I actually saw you in the Adore store when your hair was longer and I can't believe how much the new do suits you. It looks sensational.

pink cup cake when did you see me and why didn't you say hi girl???

thanks for the support on the hair gals. In that photo you can't really see the slant bit and I had brushed the fringe to the side for the pic.

The lighter brows have made a big difference, now that my hair is lighter they really were looking a bit harsh.

Will put something else up soon so you can see the hair properly....

I use the ones we stock instore here at adore beauty they are called 'air stockings' we don't list them on the site as they are flammable and can't be posted. :(
