A day in the life, preparing for an Opera Performance (Hair & Makeup)...

Hello My lovelies! Who could believe that it's July?! Still, i had a busy month throughout June, during which i had a couple of Opera performances. People ask me what i get up to before an evening performance, here i share with you my general hair and makeup routine...

Opera performance starts at 7:30pm, 

7 hours earlier...

12pm - Shower, moisturize and dry my hair. I put my hair in rollers to set for a couple of hours...


1pm - 2:30 pm - I try to relax by catching up on Queens tennis tournament. I snack throughout the day but avoid as much dairy as possible. I avoid chocolate at all costs!!


2:30pm - Time to take my hair out of the rollers. I was really pleased with the results, it lasted well all evening.


3pm - Contacts go in, and makeup is put on!



4pm - Makeup is done! Time to warm up and sing through my song twice. By this point i'm chugging the tea and water. Final preparations are done and i'm off to rehearsal at 5:30pm



The perfomance went really well and i had alot to be proud of. I hope you have enjoyed this little insight into how much and how long preparation takes. It all pays off in the end up though :)



Love you all, Beth xxx
