Since it is a fairly new experience, I wanted to do a quick review of the “Character Couture Makeover” that Disneyworld now offers for those are too old for Bibbity Bobbity Boutique, but not to old for a some makeover fun. We did the “Magical Makeover” option of the Character Couture Makeover at the Ivy Trellis Salon in the Grand Floridian for $105 that includes makeup and hair.
The makeup included eyes, false lashes and lipstick. If you wear foundation, you should apply it yourself before you arrive. The appointment was for 9:30 am so my daughter could enjoy the makeover for the entire day.
We had dinner that night with Snow White at Art Point in Wilderness Lodge. She wore a Snow White inspired outfit (Disneybound for those who know that term) …so…she got a Snow White style makeover. She didn’t have anything specific in mind for the makeover, so she and the stylist looked on Pinterest and found a look she liked. They can do any character and any style. My daughter's was bold, but they can do a more subdued look if you show some sample photos of what you prefer or just explain your preferences.
Even through the 80 degree heat and bright sun at Hollywood Studios (rollercoasters and all) the hair and makeup stayed in place really well. The first photo was taken right after it was done and the other one is at the end of a full day. You can see that by 10:30 pm that evening the eyelash was just starting to come loose. LOL.
The makeup was good, but it was heavy (there was a lot of eye make up). Her hair was really pretty, but it was really poofy. I liked it and my daughter LOVED it. But, I had to give my husband a “heads up” text to let him know it was a “real” makeover (and not just some glitter sprinkled on her hair) so he was not surprised. However, when he saw her, he liked it. You have to realize it is a “for fun” kind of thing. You could probably ask for a milder style of makeup, but the bold style was really fun [at least for one day]. My daughter is really into makeup, so this was a fun experience.
The entire experience took about an hour (maybe an hour and fifteen minutes). I think the price was $105, but I got a 25% DVC (Disney Vacation Club) discount so my final bill was about $99 and that included the tip. Last August the discount was 40% for DVC…I will be looking for that discount to come back around.
It was fun and we might do it again sometime…it was a fun way to celebrate her upcoming her 16th birthday.
