Styling Sister

So since my gastric bypass I have lost close to 150lbs. My sister and I are starting to look more and more alike. especially when she dyed her hair red too.
so now that we are about the same weight range she's ever so lucky that she can come and steal my clothes.

She wanted to go out dancing the other night so she came over to get some makeup tips and look through my clothes.  I ended up just styling her myself!

Clothes:
She had already brought a black pencil skirt with her so I just went with it and decided that she was going in a retro look. 

I paired her up with a nice red shirt(that my hair is way to bright red to go with, just ends up clashing... she on the other hand has a darker, more natural red colour) that has a squared off sweetheart neckline. 
she wore some nice black pumps with fishnet stockings and found a small black thin belt.



Hair:
maybe as you can see, my sister has thin hair, and its at that kinda short, kinda medium length that is sometimes hard to style.
I've tried fully backcombing it before but it deflates pretty fast and is easy to see through.
so we tried wetting and re-blow drying it so it was warm enough to put some rollers in. 
we used the smaller sizes so she could get more of a curl at the ends and not have it so big.
it turned out really well and she was so surprised with it! I just used some finishing spray to keep it in place and it did stay all night.

Makeup:
so going for a retro look, she brought her carol baker palette with her. we did her foundation and a lighter blush. just did a neutral eye shadow with the classic black cat eye eyeliner. I also filled in her brows, which were also a bit thin with a similar colour to her new red hair.

we topped it off with a nice pinky red lipstick and some gloss.


we had a blast and she got many a look at her sexy retro ways!
