And it was the first time ever for 46-year-old Rose Ransom.<br \/>\n&#8220;I think I look real pretty today,&#8221; she said.<br \/>\nWednesday&#8217;s makeovers were a Valentine&#8217;s treat that included cupcakes, a serenade, a professional makeover and a bag of cosmetics.<br \/>\nSusan Allen, who has been volunteering at The Bridge for a month, organized the event. She noticed a void of services for women, who make up about 17 percent of the shelter&#8217;s clientele.<br \/>\nAllen had been assigned to watch over The Bridge&#8217;s barbershop, where men get haircuts on days when volunteer barbers are available.<br \/>\nAllen envisioned a Valentine&#8217;s makeup event and contacted makeup artist Shayla McDonald, who got the day rolling.<br \/>\nMcDonald, whose usual clients include TV anchors and the wives of superstar athletes, had previously donated her time to programs that help women prepare for job interviews.<br \/>\n&#8220;You look good to feel good,&#8221; Allen said. &#8220;With a homeless woman, &#8216;Nobody loves me; I don&#8217;t care to look good; I&#8217;m never going to get better.&#8217; &#8221;<br \/>\nMen who have used the barbershop at The Bridge have a new confidence when applying for a job or just asking for an application, said Alonzo Peterson, the center&#8217;s community affairs director.<br \/>\nAllen hopes to get volunteer stylists to help women at The Bridge care for their hair.<br \/>\n&#8220;They can feel more confident walking in &#8230; because they look like we all look,&#8221; Peterson said. &#8220;There&#8217;s a huge connection there.&#8221;<br \/>\nTidwell was delighted to be made up for the first time in 15 years. She plans to marry this spring.<br \/>\n&#8220;I look like a female instead of a tomboy,&#8221; she said.<br \/>\nTidwell said she had no reason to use makeup until recently.<br \/>\n&#8220;I just felt depressed and like nobody cared whether I was made up or not, and now that I&#8217;ve got Larry in my life, I&#8217;m going to start doing it more often,&#8221; Tidwell said.<br \/>\nThe thought that anyone cared enough to come to The Bridge to do a makeover made Richards&#8217; day.<br \/>\nShe said, &#8220;When I got that invitation, I was so happy I got down on my hands and knees and I prayed to the good Lord to tell him, &#8216;Thank you for the blessing.&#8217; &#8221;<br \/>\nBy JOE SIMNACHER \/ The Dallas Morning News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen allowTransparency=\"true\" class=\"vzaar-video-player\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"252\" id=\"vzvd-1194170\" mozallowfullscreen name=\"vzvd-1194170\" src=\"http:\/\/view.vzaar.com\/1194170\/player\" title=\"vzaar video player\" type=\"text\/html\" webkitAllowFullScreen width=\"448\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Makeup artists who keep beautiful people looking beautiful offered their services Wednesday at The Bridge, and they made a difference that was more than skin deep. &#8220;I feel like a million bucks,&#8221; Peggy Richards said after her free makeover at the downtown Dallas homeless shelter. &#8220;I feel like I went on TV and came back.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[217],"class_list":["post-2618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-stories","tag-national-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
