If you missed our first day at the Miss America pageant, you can view it here!
Our second night in Las Vegas was a BIG one! Joanna ran in after rehearsals and plopped down in the hard metal chair and said she was singing later that evening and needed her hair up! Got it! I went to work and gave her a soft, romantic, low up-do. We kept a soft side part and decided to keep it all of her hair off her face. For her makeup, we continued with a natural palette that brought out her best features!
While prepping Joanna, I surprised her by letting her know I'd be in the audience that night. I wouldn't miss attending her talent preliminaries at Planet Hollywood. Her reaction was priceless and meant the world to me. I am beyond thrilled that I was there to witness her amazing talent and to see her big WIN! Congrats Joanna! I am so incredibly honored that I was there with you!
We started her look with Temptu's Professional Airbrush. Following the airbrush foundation, we used Sonia Kashuk's Bronzer all over and NARS Blush on her cheekbones. Using the less is more motto, we kept the eyelids simple with MAC Cosmetic's Woodwinked, Mulch and Trax shadows. A little Teddy Eyeliner and a basic Ardell Strip Lash completed the eye. To pull the look together, we used MAC Cosmetic's Whirl Lipliner and our very own Up-Do's For I Do's Lipgloss.
With her big win, the exciting news was plastered all over newspapers and the internet early Thursday morning. You can see our gorgeous work and read the great article here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here!
Interested in seeing how she won the award? Here is the official video from Miss America (aired on ABC). You'll notice her hair and makeup are different. The big win was from Preliminary Night #2. This also added to her total score which helped her advance in the competition. Congrats Joanna!
