Makeup Consultation

Today I had the opportunity to provide a makeup consultation for June bride, Marisa. Her gown will be a cream color and the wedding, much like Marisa herself, is very vintage bohemian.

After prepping and priming her skin, I used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetic (OCC) airbrush foundation in R0. Temptu's blush in bronzer provided a bit of color to Marisa's cheeks. I accented with powder highlights and blushes by Yaby Cosmetics.

Her eyes were primed with Too Faced Shadow Insurance, lined with Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner then followed with a blending of browns and light coppers from Yaby Cosmetics. Black mascara was added to blend in Marisa's blonde lashes with the false ones. A touch of OCC shimmer at the brow bone, cheeks and inner eyes helped provide some needed accents.

Marisa's lips were first tinted with Becca Tint in Watermelon, then I applied Make Up For Ever's Aqua Lip Liner in 3C followed by a mix of berry-brown lipstick and peach-gold shimmer gloss topped off with a touch of gold shadow.

Finally, the entire look was sealed with Temptu's Matte Sealing Spray.

I think she looks fantastic!!!

Marisa is getting married in St. Augustine and I am really looking forward to bringing out the beauty in her and her bridal party!

Red Apple Lipstick

I recently received the cutest makeup package in the mail. It was from Red Apple Lipstick . The items were wrapped in “apple” green tissue paper and placed inside a small burlap-style drawstring pouch. The products included full-size versions of a lipstick, lip gloss, lip liner pencil and a sample lipstick with disposable lip brush. I grabbed the lip pencil first. This was the R-evolution lip liner and the color was Nude. Just as the name implies, it’s the perfect shade to create a neutral lip. The pencil went on creamy, without tugging or stretching the lips and the color stayed true to form. With a matte finish, it creates the perfect daytime finish. Next, was the full-size lipstick in New York, a brown based nude with orange undertones that blended superbly with the Nude pencil. I really liked the consistency of the lipstick and the smooth results it provided. It has no shimmer and is an ideal choice for the workplace. It’s a fantastic color option for day or night. The lip gloss wa...

Make Up for the DIY (Do It Yourself) Bride

If you're a "Do It Yourself" kind of girl, I may venture to guess that your wedding is no exception. Whether for financial reasons or just the hesitation of letting go, you may decide to take wedding day beauty into your own hands. Here is where I can help. Let me give you a few insights into creating a picture perfect bridal photo. There's nothing wrong with doing it yourself, if you're well-informed and excellent at applying your own makeup. I've been doing makeup for well over 20 years and even still I would never attempt to do my own makeup for my wedding day. But to those who are more adventurous, I will provide you with a few important tips. Flawless makeup begins with flawless skin. Get routine facials, wear sunscreen, avoid harmful tanning, drink lots of water, watch what you eat and take care of your skin. We can always make our skin darker with bronzers and spray-on tans but once you damage your skin with UV rays, there's no way i...
