A Model Afternoon

This week we've expanded on 'Mummy's Hairdressing Salon' from a couple of weeks ago and gone the whole makeover.  This was the suggestion of my resident teenager - she was somewhat bored since all her friends are either on holiday or busy at the moment.

I used the same pictures of suggested hairstyles I used the first time round, and she found pictures of nail decorations, and the two younger ones chose what they wanted.

Our teenager's entire makeup collection - this is more makeup than I've ever owned.  In total.  Ever.

These are little nail penguins

And these are blue with red swirls.  The picture does not show this off particularly well

 Then she did their makeup, just a bit of eyeshadow and lipstick but they felt like the most glamorous people who have ever lived.  There was a lot of looking in mirrors and pouting going on.

This was purple eyeshadow.  She kept rubbing it off so there was very little left by this point

This is blue, she's kept it on better but we gave up on the mascara due to all the fidgeting!

 Next I did their hair according to the styles they decided on - both wanted curls, but my six year old wanted ringlets and my nine year old wanted waves.

Ringlets ringlets ringlets ...

 Finally they chose some pretty dresses and all three of them disappeared outside for a photoshoot.  There was lots of twirling, skipping, sitting in wheelbarrows and looking whistful but we got some lovely photographs and they had a fantastic afternoon.
