Make-Up and Dress-Up Party

In addition to our birthday celebrations for Katya and Li the other night (September 29th), we also held a Make-up themed craft night. We all dressed up for the occasion, and looked really good, if we may say so ourselves!

Some of us were the artists/painters and the others were the blank canvas/paintees. The artists brought their tools and supplies (make-up, brushes and what-not, as well as a large selection of nail polish), and set up shop in various corners of the house. The paintees then chose who they wanted to be painted by, and sat down to have the work done. Mary and Laxmi, dressed in their beautiful saris, watched and admired. Laxmi was the official photographer for the evening.

Nail artists were Kara, Jess and Cory. We have no close-ups of their work, but some beautiful and funky designs were created with interesting combinations of colours and shapes. Michelle now has colourful toenails with a design of multi-coloured polka-dots on a bright pink background, courtesy of Kara. A couple of girls got French manicures, and some very pretty flower designs on their fingernails.
