High School
your nails are pretty yeah oh my God

[Music]
yeah it’s like I’ll take it yeah
so you guys take a full package you guys
always shot Each Other Well we normally
don’t travel together
um unless we’re working with Sarah most
of the time gotcha we’re on the road but
we all work independently but of course
when we come together it’s magic right
yeah
so
this is a fashion profile that we
created for you so we went through your
photos and found fabulous photos of you
that beautiful smile and so uh this is
what we came up with so when it comes to
your style we’re going to add a lot of
different prints and textures and colors
they’re going to just kind of keep you
vibrant and just keep you extremely
excited about getting dressed okay so um
but we’re gonna play with some things
too we’re gonna we’re gonna challenge
you a little bit today so beyond that
since you’re in hair makeup right now
wearing makeup I’m thinking that we
should do things that are very neutral
things that she can actually try to
accomplish at home yes I mean you guys
can go above and beyond today because
you guys are who you are but I think
that if we show her some ways of putting
on a chocolate eyeliner you know in a
day how to Contour your own face how to
give a great neutral lip things like
that how to give that Natural Glow yeah
in the morning so that it’s not
frustrating and not like having to lay
out a whole makeup kit to get the day
are gorgeous yes we have beautiful high
cheekbones for lips bright eyes so we’re
really gonna bring that out and Kim is
going to start prepping you and then I’m
gonna come in and add to finish
which I love
it you just gonna brush it right over
your um perfect
and what this does is this is going to
mat out your eye and so that when you
put your eyeshadow on it’ll actually
stay all night and not
um
disappear got it two basic eyeshadow
brushes this is my blending brush here
24.9 so I’m just going to take something
a little bit neutral
and blend that right into your crease
yeah
[Music]
I had to literally track it down last
night
[Music]
[Music]
that’s just often not really lashes are
fun
my sister wears them like every day
really she’s so pretty though I’m like
well you’re so gorgeous too oh thank you
oh my God
perfect
thank you
[Music]
[Music]
you know one of the things that Melanie
mentioned during our pajama interview
was that she had some effects from
everything that happened to her one of
them being alopecia how did you work
through that during the transformation
it really touched my heart yeah
um the reason why I touched my heart is
because again Melanie and I can relate
to something
um so my family I have a family history
of dealing with alopecia and so um I
took that dear to heart and I made sure
that the hair stylists and the team were
extremely sensitive yeah and not only
just sensitive but they were
professionals like we brought in
professionals to come and do the job and
Melanie came up with every single
situation that has happened in her past
with hair and I was like girl we brought
the right people in don’t breath sit
down in this chair and we’re gonna get
you a few bundles yes and we’re gonna
make it as fabulous as possible and she
sat there and when she got out of the
chair she was mind blown wow I was like
Melanie have you ever had your hair this
long before she was like no
she just kept scraping through her hair
and that’s when you know a woman really
loves it oh yes well she’s like playing
in her hair or just pushing through her
hair so I think that she really really
really loved it so I’m excited to see
her take this hairstyle and make it
bigger than life well I can’t wait to
see what happens because I was just
upstairs like I hope he takes care of
that part of her and I hope she feels
comfortable and I hope she feels
confident so you guys check out this
transformation you don’t want to miss it
um well I have like a I have our t-shirt
so I have like a box spot right now
right here and then I had it in the back
so like a really big front so you’ll
notice there’s like a spot that’s big
like I destroyed her hair then the rest
of my hair because I had to get a bunch
of shots to like get it back so normally
because of this I’ve been wearing it
like here and then over yeah
just so it’s covered
or bath this is how I normally wear it
my mom was like trying to help me take
it out it was so hard and then she’s
like you need to go to the
error I’m done yes
because my face like I was having
trouble breathing and stuff oh so you
had allergic reactions yeah yeah okay
I’m like you just went because you
wanted a weave to come out I’m done with
you
okay okay that makes sense
that’s hilarious
I always try to leave for lunch a little
early because I notice if I like go get
lunch at like 12. it’s like an extra
half an hour we definitely died
at the same time right
okay
I just hit the foundation
one lip color that’s it
[Music]
so guys the day is here and now it’s
time to get raw and real with Melanie
now it’s time to see Melanie’s
transformation
are you ready
come on in
[Laughter]
yes
oh my goodness you’re so beautiful yeah
thank you how do you feel beautiful
oh
Jay tell me what did what happened here
listen so we went through about four or
five different outfits that we couldn’t
choose we couldn’t choose which outfit
we like the best so this actually what
happened is she was sitting down hair
makeup and she saw this on the rack she
was like what is that on the rack and
she thought it was a coat initially I
was like it’s not a cold it’s like it’s
a wrap jumpsuit and so spiritually for
me
when you were getting your hair done I
went I picked it up and I said this is
the look this is the one she’s supposed
to have and I went and got it off the
right and it fit her to Perfection like
literally like it was like customizing
tailored for her and she put it on I
said this is something that you can wear
all the time yeah you can wear it Beyond
this point you can layer it you can put
denim jackets on top of it you can put
white fresh button Downs up under it
there’s so many cool things that you can
do with this so I want you to be able to
take home something that you can
definitely use and once you put it on
she looked herself in the mirror she was
like
[Laughter]
shocked so take that shock factor with
you every single morning when you wake
up thank you okay so I know you and your
husband have dinner plans and we wanted
woman evolve to be a part of that so
here’s a gift certificate to Ruth Chris
for 250 dollars and you guys can go and
have an amazing dinner try everything
you want and do it in style babe yeah I

amazing time just not only getting to

it and feel overwhelmed by it because
that’s how he looks at you every single
day thank you so much and it doesn’t end
here right right so all those outfits
that we went through earlier and that
we’re trying to deliberate and see which
ones we like the best so woman involve
is giving you a 400 wardrobe allowance
so that you can actually choose the
pieces that you want to take home with
you
I think you’re welcome
one thing about you is that you walked
in a room and you shared smile and great
conversation with everybody so you
demanded that everybody gave you that
same level of confidence that same level
of respect the same level of happiness
is what you brought to the table for all
of us today so
we thank you as well
yeah yeah I’m so happy I missed Rick for
this yeah
bye enjoy your dinner with your husband
that’s the last time I’ve ever seen you
no I don’t know we should like make this
a thing
yeah thank you for being my person
that’s amazing you can go back to work
and think of like what happened because
it’s my pleasure I love you
I don’t know what I was expecting with
Melanie’s transformation but the first
thing I thought when she walked into the
room is that’s a woman like I think that
she had such this you know like youthful
joyful presence but she’s gone through
so much and I’m like girl you have the
weight of a woman that’s what’s going to
build your ministry that’s what’s going
to help you with your marriage you are a
woman and when she walked into the room
I was like Mrs Melody okay that’s
exactly what it was when I coached her
into this I said you need to think about
luxury every time you get dressed every
time you get ready to get your day
started every time you go shopping think
about luxury don’t just buy it don’t
just think of it as just another outfit
I’m just throwing on but think about
luxury yeah you deserve it and she
looked luxurious and she was just like I
was like are you about to close the deal
after this are we have we interrupted
your business deal because please let us
move out the way well you know the
beautiful thing is is that her heart you
can see her heart even through the
clothes yeah you can still see her heart
I understand that she did you know I’m
the sprinkle in the the magic dust of
fashion okay but she really came to get
this moment and sit and have that moment
with you yeah when she said that I
thought wow because I mean I feel like
we had a great time connecting but I
think for a woman to feel like at the
end of the day I love the way I look I
love how beautiful I feel but most
importantly I love how I feel on the
inside she’s like listen girl I came to
get a breakthrough and a breakthrough
she received yes
