Looking for Hair/Makeup Models – Costume College

I am once again looking for hair and makeup models for my 18th century hair/makeup demo class on Sunday, 2-5pm at Costume College. You’d need to have hair that takes a curl and is at least shoulder length, and be willing to show up to the class with your hair already rolled (either sleep in rollers the night before and leave them in, or do hot rollers before class and leave them in). I would style you either in a 1760s small pouf, or a 1780s hedgehog; at least one of you will get makeup done as well, possibly both. Let me know if you’re interested!

  1. let’s hope this works, i’ve never posted a comment out side of live journal before, but i had to try, the temptation is too great! you probably don’t know me from adam, but i would kill to have my hair done by you!
    my hair is nearly waist length, and red/strawberry blonde, so there isn’t too much to work with, but it does take a curl well with hot tongs, i have no rollers so don’t know how well they would work.
    my entire wardrobe for CC is 18th century, this would be so perfect!

  2. ME? Me? I beg you! I have nothing 18th Century to wear. . .but I’ll bribe you with pink drinks.

  3. You’re both on! I’ll email you. Yay!

    And no need for bribes – you’re doing ME a favor!

  4. oh, oh!! how exciting! this is going to be great, it’s my first ever costume college, and it’s going to be amazing!!!

  5. Do you do demonstrations of any 19th century hairstyles? And what would it cost to get you to Indiana? An arm and a leg?

  6. Paula – I have done some 19th century demos before, and could be interested in a trip to Indiana… Email me! kendra at demodecouture dot com
