Practice Makes Perfect!

Perfecting two looks on the morning of a competition is not only stressful, but very daring! 

Dianna was inspired by coral and water for her 2^nd place winning look. “I saw these pastel colored coral plants and knew I wanted to base my look off of that! On one side of my model’s face I used the pastel colors with make-up and added diamonds for the coral plant look while on the other side, I wanted it to look like waves crashing on a beach so I incorporated the blue and made the hair look like waves.”

For her 3^rd place winning look, Dianna was inspired by the Greek Goddess, Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and forest. “She loved nature and animals so I really wanted to give her that look. I made the leaves gold and incorporated the outfit colors on her face with her makeup. When I was choosing what to do with her hair, I decided on making it into horns so it coincided with the story of Artemis and her gold horned doe!”

Dianna’s final looks required a lot of trial and error before the competition! “I was constantly changing ideas! I would change the make-up a little then I’d find myself changing the outfit as well! It took a lot of hard work and complex thinking to totally finalize my looks!” Dianna was SO thrilled and excited when she found out she had won 3^rd in the Total Look Competition that she didn’t even hear her 2^nd place announcement! ”I ran to the stage, and fell, when they called my name for 3rd! I was so shocked! Then, when they announced 2^nd place, I was just standing there and didn’t realize I had won till my other model came walking towards me! It was so surreal and exciting!” Dianna credits hard-work and perseverance for winning three awards at the competition! “If you want to compete, GO FOR IT! Just know you need to practice your look beforehand! Whatever you do, keep practicing! It might seem scary and like a lot of work, but you have to do it!”
