Getting glammed up for special events like weddings and parties is always fun.  But let’s face it: there is soooo much to do beforehand. Coorindate everyone’s schedules. Book a sitter. Pick up dry cleaning.  All of this prep and planning for everyone else, but then it’s a last minute decision on how you are going to do your hair and makeup. If only someone could take care of you!

Well Cinderella, drop that fifth load of laundry and summon a fairy godmother from your phone. GLAMSQUAD will get you to the ball.

I did a trial with GLAMSQUAD and can’t wait to book again.  They recently came to D.C. and currently serve New York City, Miami, and LA.  Imagine, you stay at your house and basically uber beauty services right to your door.  Professional makeup artists and hair stylists, who have been meticulously selected, pamper you and get you ready in no time.  Not only do you save time traveling to and from a salon, you’re right there to respond to the inevitable “Mom, where’s the…..” or open an applesauce pouch. {Or, if you’re in town visiting, they also come to hotel rooms or offices!}

To make things easy, they have a Lookbook to help you pick your hair and make up styles.  Makeup looks {$75} include The Dreamer {rosegold cheeks, shimmery eyes, peony pink lips}, The Daily {defined eyes, natural lips} and The Icon {bold lips, smokey eyes}.  I struggle with hair all the time.  But you can’t go wrong with these soft and insta-perfect styles like The Editor {straight and sleek}, The Rising Star {sleek up-do} and The Goddess {whimsical crown braid}.  Blowouts start at $50 and up-dos are $85.  There are also a few packages that offer a discount.

My last two cents is that these services are not just for a night out.  I know lots of moms are looking for a makeup refresher and this is a nice, easy way to try out some products from seasoned professionals.  At my session, my MUA used the Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Serum, which I loved and I’m now obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk.  Other great reasons to book could be for family portraits or your next Christmas card.
