Get Your Makeup or Face Painting Done
A volunteer, China, has offered to help youth with their makeup for Pink Prom! China has several makeup and beauty certificates, and has been doing her own makeup for 30 years.
To be efficient with time, China will pre-record a video teaching you how to apply your own makeup foundation, and she will provide the foundation and sponges at the event. She will then do all the makeup application or face painting for you, based on the look you request, in pre-registered timeslots.
Please fill out the form below to share the look you are going for, and inspiration photos if you have them.
