Hello,

My name is Katie and I have had alopcia since I was 12. In the past two years, I have lost all my hair. I am a professional dancer, model and actor in Los Angeles. Because of my career, I have had to figure out how to really gain control of alopecia and keep myself marketable at castings. Not even my agents know I have it. I have researched and experimented with make-up products and found solutions that work for me and I feel like have made me confident and like I have control over alopecia. I wanted to share what I use and do with others incase they want help. Feel free to message me for questions.

For my hair: I have the freedom vacuum hair piece in a dark brown, 14 inch. I swear by this wig. I use only organic natural shampoos...and ones with argan oil in them or keratin. I always leave the conditioner on for about 5 minutes before rinsing with cool water. I let air dry and then gently curl with a 1.5 inch barrel. I use heat tamer and again an argon oil hairspray. 

For my brows: I use a eye primer base, I then use a slanted eye brown brush by anastasia. I use anastasia dip brown in dark brown or the powder. These are both waterproof and I find last long and look natural. I locate my brow bone and then start shading in a shape, I try not to use to much so that it doesn't look penciled in. I then take a concealer and trace around to fix anything or really create a better shape. I then use a powder foundation or HD powder and brush it over to blend with skin a bit and also hide shine. This also makes it stay longer.

For my eyes, I like my eye with a gel liner and brush. I make a cats eye shape with the liner brush. I then use duo waterproof dark brown glue and line the kiss brand lashes in styles "shy" or "pretty". I like these lashes because they are flexible and natural looking. I let glue set for 30 seconds then apply them as close to my natural lash line. Putting the lash over the liner makes it look like your fake lashes are growing out of your skin.  If I use shadow, I put shadow on first. Sometimes I'll smudge some black eyeshadow along liner to give smokey look. 

Hope this helps!:)
