I love receiving messages like the one I got from Robyn recently. "I need to book you! I got this invitation and it says 'dress to impress!'". Special events are fun because it's a great excuse to do makeup and hair that's way more glamorous than you would normally wear. Robyn is not a big makeup wearer and dresses pretty casually. She hangs out with a lot of guys doing things like watching football. She decided this was the perfect event to remind them that she is, in fact, a woman. Channeling her inner Jessica Rabbit, she chose a slinky little black dress and super smoothed hair perfectly rounded in front and back. I told her I was feeling bold and that I really wanted to put a ton of black eyeliner and shadow on her. She had never worn black makeup in her life. "But it's a nighttime event and this will be makeup that looks good at night. Circle of trust! Circle of trust!" I said, making my case. She decided to go for it and couldn't believe it when I showed her the mirror. Even her trademark freckles were completely gone. "Woa!" she said. And apparently that's what the guys said too when they saw her. I got a two-word email the next day with these pics attached: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
