Only two days until the ceremony!
So last Sunday we had a mini makeup rehearsal with only a few dancers to see what the makeup would look like and today was a full on rehearsal!
We went to Dagenham (took three tubes and a shuttle bus to get there!) and arrived at what looked like an abandoned air field of some kind. There was a massive blue and yellow circus tent (not even sure why) that costume and makeup got ready in, along with three or four other tents and ours was so squished! Each person had their own colour scheme so we made the lips and the eyes according to that colour, which matched up with what they wore. There were 60 women to do and seven of us, I applied the makeup quickly, I'm sure I did about 8-10 women! We did the makeup for Rio, the flag hand over to Brazil so it was so amazing we get to be a big part of the ceremony.
There were some amazing costumes and acrobatic stunts being performed and we were able to sit and watch. It was such a gorgeous day too I won't forget!
I couldn't upload photos just yet- but wait and see.
