60's Makeover with FB!

Fiona-Brooke has expressed a desire to go Vintage. So we set off on a trip to discover what Era she looks good in.....makeover time!

OK, this is her before photo. Yes she's gorgeous, but as everyone knows.....in Vintage you look doubly gorgeous!

I decided that because she is ridiculously skinny, she would suit a 60's look nicely.
Flicking thru my hairbooks, we found a Jacki O hairstyle that looked relatively easy for my little novice fingers to acheive and would look best for her short hair.

What I did:
1. Hot curled her hair under and set each curl with a duckbill clip while it cooled.
2. When cool, I let all the curls free and back combed or 'teased' from the top to the middle of the crown. This created the back 'poufiness' Jackie was famous for.
3. I then hand formed little curls on the top of the head. Swept her finge into a side curl and handformed a little kiss curl at the end of her fringe.
4. HAIRSPRAY!!
5. Created a nice, matte flawless finish on her face with concealer and powder. Candy apple red blush and sparkling gold on her eyelids.
6. Her winged eyeliner I made very thick and dramatic as FB wears glasses.
7. Filled in her eyebrows with a Brunette pencil.
8. FB has thin lips, so I went to the very outer of her lower lipline with the liner and created a cupid bow on the top.
9. She dressed in her brand new Vintage old 60's brocade wiggle dress and did The Flamingo!

Here are a couple of other dressup photos we did. You will recognise some of them as they are all from my wardrobe.   

She did need to pull them in at the waist as I am grossly fat compared to her little waist (witch).   Just to get back at her and hope she puts on at least a kilo, I made her eat THIS:

My wonderful recipe of Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, with cookies ice-cream, maple syrup and a strawberry.  I then gave her the rest of the pie to take home.....ha ha.

This was my first makeover and I am very proud to report that I only burnt FB's face and ears 3 times. And she only needed a cold water compress for one of them! What a clever little chook am I!
