So my epics are this Sunday (YAY!!) and long story short we are going to an awesome location but I had to cancel my appointments at the salon bc of it. Now i have to do my own hair and makeup, ad have no idea what to do!! I am slightly hair challenged (I cant even blow dry my hair straight, I need to use a straightening iron for it!! Its horrible) so I dont want to attempt something too crazy. But when it comes to makeup I'm not bad (usually I really play up my eyes but am afraid it might be too much for the pictures). I just went and bought individual fake lashes to use, but do any of you have any ideas for what to do for hair/makeup? Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated!!! TIA

Re: Epics hair/makeup ques.
i would just keep it natural, maybe just have your hair down nice and straight, and light makeup, like no dramatic eyes or anything. - jmo

Hey Gaby! Could you have it done late saturday, and leave it for sunday? Your hair, I mean.

Re: Epics hair/makeup ques.
i say loose hair, with loose curls at the bottom always give it an elegant touch...but you can't do this if you flat iron your hair!! you need to blow dry it and then use either a curling iron or hair rollers! then once you lit it out you comb your hair with your hands so that way the curls don't dissipate ...HTH

Re: Epics hair/makeup ques.
Can you make it to any salon - I am hair challenged as well but love to get it blown out - a good blow out would look great and then do your make-up yourself!

Hello Boozy suzy the 2nd:
Ok, so I did my own makeup for my epics, which I think my makeup came out flawless! My friend told me to get a good light foundation, and you can build the color up until you have enough coverage, use a yellow tinted concealor under your eyes, to use a powder bronzer, which will look more natural than cream, and to use a blush that is the shade of when you and fh do the nasty ( I use orgasim by Nars... highly reco!). For eyes, stick to the basics. Almay has the colors that make your eye color pop.
Worse comes to worse, you can always go to a department store and have them do your makeup. You typically have to buy 3 items, but your makeup will be done.
For hair, do this:
Blow out your hair the best you can with a leave in conditionair and MOUSSE (Tres eme i think thats the spelling has the volumn mousse which is EXCELLENT) and a round brush (volumn). Than put your hair in velcro rollers. Use hair spray to set your hair, wait 20 min or more, take the rollers out, than use a styling cream or spray defrizzer in your hand and 'comb' out the waves. TADA, Victoria Secret hair. Its my going out routine and I swear people think I get my hair done....

Practice tonight/tomorrow...take pics and we'll give honest input!!
I personally like darker eye makeup in pics and i think you would look nice w/ darker eyes. You can probably get away w/ no eyeshadow- just liner and mascara.
