Hi ladies,
I hope you are all well!
I'm not sure you know but I also work as a freelance make-up artist.
I do fashion shoots, music bands, portraits and weddings. I was lucky I did a few weddings so far. Love them- everyone is so friendly and in such a good mood.

I am completely self taught and with a lot of hunger to learn more. I'm a great believer that you never know everything and once you think you know everything then you need to move on onto something else.
In my search of expanding my skills I decided to get a hair doll to practice practice and practice!
I do hair normally but within reason. I am not a hair expert- I am just too curious and I love experimenting.
So, yesterday while the hubby was watching the Euro final I decided to do some pretty wedding hair styles. This is the first one.
I love it how it turned out. it was so simple and easy to do!
I used a ball of (my) hair in a net to make the BIG ball volume, lots of normal hair pins and the ones that hook. I aslo decided to add a touch of fairly tale feel to the look and I added some white pearls which I placed on the main "ball" of the look.
Of course I would be normally a bit more neat and careful with flyaways. But this was a cheapish doll so the hair is quite artificial and I do not want to pile it with hair spray. You can wash it and style it but I wanted to practice the main technique of filling hair with hair inserts ;)
And of course....you can see her face. Isn't she hot? She hasn't got a name so maybe you can help me?
Anyway, what do you think about this hair style? Would you wear your hair like this on your big day? Or maybe for a night out?
Are you self-taught on anything? Or hungry to learn anything to add to your skills?
I did more looks with the doll. If you like this post please let me know and I'll show you more.
Hope you enjoyed it ;)
