NFL Teams Makeup Look: Pittsburgh Steelers

Posted on September 7, 2014 | Leave a comment

Time for a new series YAYYY! The National Football League (NFL) season has begun in the United States. I thought it would be really fun to display various looks based on the NFL team colors. To be fair to the teams representing the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC) the looks will be based on the teams who have already won the Super Bowl Championship. I’m starting with the teams who have won the most championships and working my way backwards. To kick things off, with six Super Bowl Championships are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their team colors are Black and Gold. Here we go Steelers here we go!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink Look #12

Posted on September 3, 2014 | Leave a comment

This is my twelfth and final look for the series on Wednesdays we wear pink. I had a lot of fun doing this series. I didn’t know what to expect when I first started it. I was concerned about not having enough pink makeup. That wasn’t the case. LOL!
