A little touch of sparkle for Carrie on her birthday ⭐️⠀ ⠀ It is October 21st here in NZ, and every year on her birthday since her passing, my daughter and I have celebrated Carrie Fisher and Princess Leia with #GlitterForCarrie. This year, we created a Leia-inspired silvery Rebel Alliance makeup look. ⠀ ⠀ For May 4th 2017 (the first ‘May the Fourth’ after Carrie had passed away), many fans wore ‘Glitter For Carrie‘ – this started with something Carrie herself was known to do. There are many stories of Carrie ‘glitter bombing’ friends and fans at conventions and in her stage shows, adding a little sparkle to your day with literal sparkly glitter. Now, glitter is something I will always associate with Carrie Fisher and Princess Leia. ⠀ ⠀ For previous years I have featured Leia-inspired hairstyles but for 2020 I wanted to create a Leia-inspired makeup look. This look is modeled by my daughter, who loves to celebrate ‘Glitter For Carrie’ with me every year. We both met Carrie Fisher multiple times at conventions in the past, so it’s important to both of us to celebrate her legacy on her birthday. It’s also a wonderful mother-daughter activity, coming up with a glittery hair/makeup look to do together each year. ⠀ ⠀ May the Force be with you always, Carrie ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlnYsvATjm/?igshid=1mdpt8t6kchws
