Tips for brides
Thursday, July 30th, 2009 | Uncategorized, Updates | No Comments
1. No more facials 14 days before wedding.
2.Hair color must be done 10 days prior to the wedding. so this way you still have time to correct whatever imperfections you see in your hair.
3.Eye brows and lip, wax it the day before the wedding.
4. Tanning, watch carefully because you dont want to be too dark or too red on your pictures.(Worse you might get sunburn and peeling)
5.Always have a trial makeup and updo. Its a must! When your deciding for a perfect look.Consider other opinions but trust your own instinct. Inform your friends or relatives about your ideal makeup and updo so this way they know what look you want.(print a picture and show it to them) Because they tend to suggest things that might contradict everything. Always be specific as well. trust me it will make our jobs easier.
6. My favorite, drink lots of green tea it will give you radiance skin.
7. Pls. schedule your hair appt. 2 hours earlier and include the traveling time as well if your going to the salon so that i will be with you for an hour to complete my job. (it is not good to rush your hairstylist and makeup artist trust me with this one.)
8. And use your bridesmaids as your runner.thats there job!
9.Get a good photographer. Invest and you will never regret it.
Small simple rules makes a difference. Ive seen and experience enough to know what its like.No matter how much you plan your day there will be bumps along the way but if you follow this rules you will be alright! And Enjoy the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bridal shoot with Dominique

Dominique’s makeup is focused mainly on a look that would give romance and elegance combined. This is a good example for a wedding makeup. As much as possible dont be afraid to put some color. I decided to balance her look with a sheer gloss finish lipstick. To soften it more i used two different blush on her cheeks and added some highlights.
bridesmaids makeup

We all first met at Lindsay’s pad. I gave them trial makeup. i require that too because on the day of the wedding i want to be prepared.Foundation shade has to match well so when they take pictures the outcome is good. They had mentioned it would be an indoor wedding.And as a makeup artist i know there will be a difference with the lighting. On the day of the wedding (this is common) it turned out that they had changed there mind and decided to do an outdoor wedding. So on the spot i had to change the makeup. The foundation shade is still the same. (This is a good example why i require trial makeup, so this way Iam prepared for any changes).The day was beautiful the sun was shining. Inshort a perfect day to get married. Lindsay had a very elegant wedding dress.love it!( I dont have a picture to show everyone but she looked good in it) Kathy wore a navy blue dress which was cute! Anyways, I had a great time working with them. Id like to take this opportunity to thank you for trusting me and letting me be part of your life in some ways.
Kathy’s look i used mac eyeshadows:deep truth,carbon,crystal,vex as the highlighter. ( for everyone who has asked me which one is the highlighter VEX )
For her lips: spice pencil,freckletone, beaux
