prom makeup: miley cyrus inspired look

Before & After

Meet Taylor. She’s an soon-to-be high school graduate and one of my long-time clients, so I was thrilled she asked me to be her makeup artist when prom time came around. Taylor came to me with the desire of a Miley Cyrus inspired makeup look, which with her stunning features and unbelievable skin was an effortless task. Her ecstatic reaction to the final look really made my day. It was so much fun to do this look for her.
