Make Me Over-Make Me Right

What a great weekend I had!!!! We were in Women's Conference at my local church, Messiah Fellowship. During the conference, a young lady learned she would be awarded a makeover. Kim Riley was the lucky young lady and just cried when she heard the news.

My partner in crime for the makeover event was Cotillion McClain. We made such a great team and were able to feed off each other. The three of us went out Friday to find Kim an outfit. We had fun looking at beautiful as well as ugly clothes. After Kim selected her outfit with the accessories to match, the next part was the hair!

Kim has some super thick hair and after playing with some ideas, we gave her a short bob/cut. Was she nervous about the cut? Not at all!! At first, we kept Kim's hair longer in the back. After some consultation with me, we decided to shorten the back to soften the flow of her hair. When she saw the finished product, she was smiling from ear to ear!! The next day was the make-up application. We used Mary Kay Cosmetics on Kim and it gave her such a glow! She did admit she was slightly nervous because she does not wear make-up. After seeing it all put together, she thought she looked very well put together and natural.

Kim made her debut Sunday afternoon at the highlight of the Women's Conference. She "strutted her stuff" to "It's the God in Me." Oh, let's not forget that Kim did receive professional runway training from Messiah's runway expert, my partner in crime, Cotillion McClain. Look at Cotillion work it in the pictures below. At the end of the service, everyone was able to come in the fellowship hall and watch the videos of Kim shopping and getting her hair done. Afterwards, everyone went around the room complimenting Kim on her new look! Sometimes, we will never know how words can motivate and encourage someone.

Kim, keep up the good work and you are a beautiful woman inside and out. You have great things waiting for you. Continue to be blessed and M.A.D.E-Making A Difference Everywhere!
