“My makeup history is not very long,” Blanchard said. “So before I went to prison, I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup.”

“When I was in the county jail, I knew I had a court appearance coming up, so I wanted to look decent,” Blanchard, who was 23 at the time of her arrest, said via TikTok. “And so I actually had to do my own makeup.”
She then explained how she had to become resourceful if she expected to look decent during her highly publicized case.
“The way I did it, I took the toothpaste and broke up the pencil — like ink — and mixed it to make a mascara that I would apply with a toothbrush,” Blanchard said with a smile as she applied the powder. face.

Although cunning, it is unlikely that Blanchard would recommend the improvised product to anyone.
“As you could imagine, oh my god. The freshness of the mint that was on my eyeballs stung my eyes, but I wanted to look decent and decent, so I just did it,” she said.

As for how she maintains her hair, in another TikTok titled “GRWM part 2 woman empowerment 💗,” she was more than willing to explain.
“A little-known fact about me is that when I’m under a lot of stress, I take it out on my hair,” she said. “So they don’t have scissors in prison, so I’d take the nail clippers and I’d go in the shower, and the more stressed I’d get, I’d take the nail clippers and start cutting off more and more hair.”
Blanchard also revealed why she underwent cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery in April.

While showing before and after pictures, she stated that her previous “overwhelming” bump was due to “genetics” coming from her father’s side of the family.
She admitted that this physical feature weighed heavily on her.
“[I] it did not appear to be a woman’s nose. Lord knows I’ve been teased about it,” Blanchard said of her “insecurities.”

She added: “I wouldn’t change a thing about me – nothing else about me except the nose job I had and I’m done.”
