In a heartwarming turn of events, a bride, Amanda, faced a makeup miracle just days before her wedding that saved her special day. Amanda had experienced a scuba diving accident in Bali, resulting in a mask squeeze injury that left her with dark bruising around her eyes. The skilled makeup artists at Dollface Darlings stepped in to perform a 90-minute transformation, covering the bruising completely and restoring Amanda’s confidence for her big day.
The head makeup artist, Wiwik “Wayan” Arisandi, shared that when Amanda first came in for her makeup trial, no one could have foreseen the accident that would follow. The diving mishap caused significant damage to Amanda’s blood vessels and soft tissues, leading to dark facial bruising and swelling. However, Arisandi and her team were determined to not let this setback dampen Amanda’s spirits for her upcoming wedding at Tirtha Uluwatu in Bali, Indonesia.
Arisandi, with over two decades of makeup experience and 13 years of working with Dollface Darlings, reassured Amanda that they could work their magic and cover the bruising. The team meticulously prepped Amanda’s skin, focusing on the bruised areas to ensure a smooth and hydrated base for the makeup application. Using a combination of high-quality products suitable for the humid climate of Indonesia, Arisandi gradually built up coverage to conceal the bruising effectively.
The transformation process involved using a peach color corrector to neutralise the discoloration, followed by layers of foundation to create a flawless finish. Special attention was paid to setting the makeup with powders and adding bronzer and blush to enhance Amanda’s natural radiance. The final touch of setting spray ensured that the makeup stayed fresh throughout the day. Despite the challenging task at hand, the team at Dollface Darlings succeeded in not only covering Amanda’s bruising but also highlighting her beauty.
Amanda’s reaction to seeing her makeup transformation was nothing short of emotional. As she looked in the mirror and saw the incredible work done by the team, she couldn’t hold back her gratitude and joy. Expressing her disbelief at the magic performed by the makeup artists, Amanda hugged Arisandi, acknowledging the incredible difference that had been made. The video of Amanda’s reaction posted on Instagram captured the genuine happiness and relief she felt at regaining her confidence for her wedding day.
This heartening story serves as a reminder of the power of skilled professionals who go above and beyond to make a difference in someone’s life, especially during significant moments like a wedding. The teamwork, dedication, and expertise displayed by Dollface Darlings not only transformed Amanda’s appearance but also uplifted her spirits, turning a potentially distressing situation into a memorable and uplifting experience. It is a testament to the transformative impact of makeup artistry and the ability to bring out the beauty and confidence in every individual, no matter the circumstances.
