Finding Love

Met Life Prep

***
We pulled up to the met life stadium venue around 15 minutes later. We got out of the car and quickly got in. I just followed Andy and he lead me backstage. I followed him and then we walked into what I assumed was my dressing room. I saw Lee so I walked over to her and I said, "Hi!" She turned around and gave me a hug and said, "Hi Brooke!" I smiled and said, "So should we get to my favorite parts...the outfits!" She laughed and said, "Okay so I have the outfits all over here!" I followed her to where the racks were and we began to look through all of the outfit chooses...

By the time we were done it was 2:30! The outfit choices took longer than we had expected because I had a lot of quick changes and basically changed after every two numbers. But my hair and makeup was the same for everything. And overall I had exactly one minute to change for each time. Lee said, "Okay and we will have a curtain back stage and I will help you change and don't worry I will have all of the outfits ready!" I nodded and I was really nervous for all of the outfit changes! Lee said, "Okay so let's get you ready for the meet and greet!" I nodded and we walked over to the makeup area and I sat down to began getting ready! Around 45 minutes later we were all done with my hair and makeup! My makeup was:

Foundation
Blush and bronzer
Highlighting and contouring
Filled in eyebrows
Individual fake eyelashes and mascara
A dark brown and shiny silver smokey ish eye
Black winged eyeliner
Medium pink matte lipstick

For my hair it was in an off side part, so it was more to the left, but it was messy so it was not really a defined part! It was messily curled and I overall loved it! Lee said, "Okay here is your outfit, but first put on your earrings!" She held my clothes and handed me big white pearl stud earrings. I put them on and then she handed my the outfit for the meet and greet. I went into the back behind the curtain and I put on the outfit. I was wearing white high waisted skinny jeans, so the paints covered my belly button. For my top I had a white off the shoulder flowed loose shoulder loose cropped top. It showed a sliver of my stomach, but not too much! I walked out and did a little spin and I laughed. Lee said, "Do you like it?" I said, "Yes!" She said, "Yay! And here are your shoes!" She handed me nude strapped heels and I put them on. She said, "Okay it's exactly 3:30 so we should head over to the meet and greet!" I said, "Okay!" I grabbed my phone and I followed her down to the room where the meet and greet was being held. We were by the door and then Scooter came over. He said, "Hey Brooke are you excited?" I said, "Ya!" He said, "Okay we are ready whenever you are!" I nodded signaling I was ready. The security people opened the door and I walked out. The fans immediately started screaming. I smiled and waved as I walked to where we would be taking the pictures and stuff. I stood there for a few minutes before the actual meet and greet started... An hour and a half later it was 5 and we were all done with the meet and greet. It was a lot of fun and I had always loved meeting my fans. I waved goodbye one last time and then headed to the stage. Scooter said, "Okay so there are no fans in this sound check because we want the set list to be a surprise!" I said, "Okay!" We walked on stage and he handed me a microphone. Scooter got off stage and he said, "Do you know the set list by heart?" I nodded and he said, "Okay so whenever you are ready we can start!" I nodded and waited for the music and then I began singing... I finished an hour later and I was immediately rushed back stage to get into my first outfit! It was 6 and the show started at 7 so they had to let the fans in! I did not get to rehearse the quick changes and that made me really nervous for when I actually had to do it. But I took my own advice and I just shook it off! I quickly went into my dressing room and sat in the chair and Lee said, "Okay I'm going to start on your hair and makeup it is going to be pretty simple so it will go with every outfit!" I nodded and she began my hair and makeup!" I said, "Okay that sounds really good!" She started on my hair and makeup and I went on my phone. I saw I got a text in a group chat with Demi, Sammy, and Ali. I checked it and Ali texted saying:
Do you guys know what today is?

We all responded saying no and she texted back saying:
GUYS! It's the one year anniversary of Wilden being put in jail!!!

I responded saying:
OH MY GOD I COMPLETELY FORGOT!!!!

Demi said:
I CANT BELIEVE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN A YEAR!

Sammy said:
I KNOW RIGHT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL TONIGHT!

I said:
I HAVE AN IDEA...after the concert I have a surprise for us;)

They all agreed and after we said we would see each other tonight and stopped texting I went on my phone and looked up a celebrity tattoo parlor. Yes I wanted us to get matching tattoos. And hopefully this time they would be real! I called the same guy as that time I wanted to get the fuck love tattoo. I dialed his number and after a few rings he picked up. He said, "What's up this is boulevard tattoos!" I said, "Um hi this is Brooke Hyland I was wondering if I could get an appointment for 4 tonight?" The guy laughed and said, "Oh no did you and your bffs all breakup with one direction again!" I laughed and said, "Thanks about that but this one has nothing to do with any member of a boy band!" He said, "Okay then I guess you could get a real tattoo! What time?" I said, "10:30?" He said, "Okay have a design ready." I said, "Okay thanks!" I hung up and went online and found a bunch of things until around the time she finished my hair and makeup I found the design. It was sort of script and in black it said:
Kisses, A
I loved it but later they would obviously have to approve it! I really wanted to get tattoos but I never have and tonight would be my first one! As long as they all agreed to it! Lee then finished my makeup after 30 minutes! I looked in the mirror and saw my hair was in a middle part curled and I loved it! My makeup was:

Foundation
Blush and bronzer
Highlighting and contouring
Filled in and tamed eyebrows
Individual fake lashes and mascara
Light brown and orange ish colored eye shadow
Black cat eye winged eyeliner and regular eye liner on the bottom
In my eye corner I had a little sparkly white that carried to the bottom so my eyes popped!
My lipstick was a dark pink/ nude ish color

That was all for my makeup and hair! I overall loved it. And even though I say this every time, but this may be my new favorite stage makeup! I told Lee how much I loved it and then she said, "Thanks but you should go put on your first outfit!" I nodded and went into the dressing room and put on my opening outfit...
