A Girls’ Day Out: Looking Forward to Prom and Other Fun Events

Abby Morehouse and Jayden Matlock and |December 9, 2015

In December, the ladies of The Blackman Voice went to Urban Image Salon on the square and received makeovers that are a great inspiration for prom.

Gini Faulk, a former Voice staff member and Estee Lauder consultant, applied the makeup.

Liz Layne, stylist at Urban Image, created “not so everyday” hairstyles.

Each girl received a unique look that could fit a variety of styles. The hair ranged from loose curls to braided updos, and the makeup from simple and natural to smoky and edgy.

Haley received a vintage-inspired makeover, with side-swept barrel curls. This look would work well with a lace dress or a one-shoulder neckline.

Liz gave Tyler an edgier hairstyle, with large waves and a small braid above her ear. Gini gave Tyler a slightly smoky eye. This could look great with a darker dress or a heavier fabric.

Lanier’s finished look was big, bouncy curls with purple tone lips. This look would pair well with almost any style of dress.

A favorite was Megan Grimes’ hair, which had a half-up layered braid at the back of her head and loose curls. The princess-inspired look would pair well with delicate fabrics.

Naffie’s final look has a bright eye with purple lips and a pulled back hairstyle. This would look great with a halter neckline or a shimmery fabric.

If you are getting your hair and makeup done for prom, book your appointment two to three months in advance.

Be sure to speak up about what style or look you prefer, and if you aren’t sure, bring a picture of your dress for inspiration. Don’t be afraid to tell your stylist if you want something different. He/she is there to help you look your best!
