So 2 of my friends asked me to do their makeup for prom/formal. But the thing is... IM GOING AS WELL. I'm sure we don't have much time to get ready, but how do I do their makeup and mine asap but neat?! Do I do mine first or something or do theirs then mine?... HELP ME PLEASEEEE xx

I would do yours before they turn up to get ready
(or before you go to theirs) to ensure you have time.
However, it's not really fair that they're asking you to do theirs if there won't be enough time to do yours, plus you've got to make sure your makeup and brushes are sanitary enough when you do each one, which adds on a little time

Ask them to have a clear description in mind and to show you pictures beforehand so you know right away what you are doing. Do yours first because that is most important. Ask them to bring some products that they want you to use. Ask them if they can do things like their own foundation, concealer, mascara and lips to help you save time. I would also ask the other friend who isn't having their makeup done to tidy after you because it's easier to work in an organised space. You could also ask them to pass you things as you go. Get them to come dressed and with their hair done so all you have to do before you leave is touch up your makeup and hair. Hope this helps:) ♡

I'm in your shoes every single formal/prom.. and I have 2 huge tips. 1. DON't STRESS! Stressing actually makes the process go slower and could make you mess up. My next tip would definitely be to do a practice run before the day of the event and have your friends bring in pictures of what they want and try it on them before hand.. you'll know exactly what you're doing the day of and will have a chance to see if there are any problems that could come up that day. Doing a practice run also gives you a rough time frame (it'll probably be a few minutes quicker the second time around) to help plan the day out and will definitely boost your confidence. Hope this helps! Good luck!!
