Makeovers for MidoriLei La Petite Fleur

I sell kimono style dresses over at Midorilei.com. All my models are friends of mine.

Rachael designs highways in San Antonio. She was my childhood best friend.


She is tall and reminds me of a young Brooke Shields. She has piercing blue eyes. Doesn't the blue in the dress capture her blue eyes?!



Here I am with my friend Venitra. Everyone calls her V. She's going to be an amazing nurse someday!



She looked lovely in the gray and black kimono dress!




I've known Robyn since college. She helped me move up to Seattle, and hit the road with me on a whim. I love her to pieces.



Right now she has a rad short haircut, but back when she had long hair, she modeled a dress for me. I thought this one looked great, especially with the trees in the background:




I know Kim from church. She has an amazing voice and a carefree personality. And yes, she's a myspace diva!


She takes stunning close-ups!



and lastly, Elisa is one of my former students. She's going to do amazing things in the future- things that are very Alias-esque.



I had her model a salmon and peach colored dress. She looks so lovely and feminine!



Thanks to all these lovely ladies for being awesome models for me!

Ebony



Ebony is my beautiful former student. She has exotic Dominican features. I did her makeup for a Christmas banquet one year. Here she is with lovely Aminah.

Christina's Wedding



This is my friend Christina. She is now Christina Davis. I did her makeup for her wedding. Doesn't she look angelic?!

She has a knack for doing makeup too.

We had a girl's night in and I did a natural makeover on her and gave her some bangs, doesn't she look great?!!

My Courageous Friend Chops Off All Her Hair!

Robyn is my Shero. (female hero!) She's always wanted to have super short hair because hair has been a kind of security blanket for her. ( I can identify!) So, with the help of her two friends for moral suport, (me and Cherish) we went with her to the salon.

Here she is before with her boyfriend, Edsel:


We brought these pictures of Winona Ryder:




And after some tears and getting over the feeling that she couldn't recognize who she was looking at, she finally grew into this amazing haircut! Robyn, you're gorgeous no matter what!
(We didn't have time to do the pictures for the makeover so I did the photo shoot mostly in the car on our way to dropping me off at the train station!)

Because this site is about makeovers...

I had to include this viral video of a Dove commercial.

Crazy!



Well, just so you know, none of my makeovers involve the use of Photoshop editing. I don't even know how to use it! (I just do color changes)
