Tips for applying eyeshadow

    Tina is a very talented hair and make up artist. We hired her services for my daughters prom in 2016 and again recently for my younger daughters prom in June 2019. My daughter was very fussy and stressed about how her hair and make up would look. Tina is a very calm and easy going person and came to do a trial several months in advance which gave my daughter some peace of mind. On the day, her make up and hair was perfect, she loved it and was awarded Prom Queen...so thank you Tina as the hair and make up were the definitely the crowning glory.
