Before the mead, turkey legs, and questionable Renaissance Faire decisions, there was the getting-ready process.
In this special Dirty Pour bonus episode, Bri takes you behind the scenes as she attempts to transform herself into a fairy for her very first Renaissance Faire. With zero makeup expertise, plenty of sarcasm, and a Celtic-themed weekend inspired by Wicked Altar, things go exactly as you'd expect.
Join Bri as she talks through fairy makeup disasters, costume planning, Renaissance Faire excitement, and why confidence is sometimes more important than knowing what you're doing. Plus, hear how Wicked Altar influenced their Celtic Weekend theme, what Allison is wearing, and why sparkles are always the answer.
If you've ever watched a makeup tutorial and thought, "I have no idea what I'm doing either," this episode is for you.
Check out the final costumes and Renaissance Faire photos on the Dirty Pour Instagram.
