Creating a Bohemian Makeup Look (Boho style)

Creating a Bohemian Makeup look is super easy!

Begin with natural skin. Opt for sheer foundation or a tinted moisturizer to allow your skin to shine through. Use concealer only in the areas you need it and be sure to blend it well. Try Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream or Cargo Cosmetics Tinted Moisturizer. Or, simply blend your current foundation with your moisturizer to get a sheered out application.

To add a sun-kissed look, apply bronzer to your cheekbones, center and top of the forehead, bridge of the nose and chin; anywhere the sun hits. Stila makes a great bronzer in a portable powder compact. Just don't over use it or you will have a caked on matte look.

Keep your eyeshadows in the earth tone family of colors, browns, reds, yellows, etc. Blending is key to keeping it soft and muted and achieving the BOHO look. Urban Decay has a range of colors in their Naked 2 palette just blend, blend, blend.

Your eyebrows should be strong and natural. A bit untamed is best.

Lips can be done with a beige pink or just gloss over for subtle attention. You can find a wide range of suitable colors with MAC Cosmetics or any other brand. Tone down a too bright shade by applying a bit of gold shadow on your lips over the lipstick. Blend well with a clear gloss.

Bohemian style is about mixing and blending so keep that in mind when creating your Boho look.

The highs and lows of a wedding budget

The "dirty" word: If you have ever planned a wedding or have been around someone planning a wedding, there is one single word that makes even the most level-headed bride cringe. Budget. There, I said it. Cut and dry. Now that it's out in the open, let's discuss exactly why that word brings out the inner bridezilla. To start off with, ask any number of brides what their budget is, and I guarantee you will get just as many answers. Budgets can range from under $2,000 on up and past $200,000. It doesn't mean that any amount is better than another. Every wedding has a budget because every couple draws the dollar line somewhere. A budget just defines what you have to spend. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. A bigger budget doesn't make any one bride better than another, nor any wedding less important. So in short, every bride is a budget bride no matter the dollar amount. When you think of it that way, it can wrangle in the green-eyed...

Do I need a trial makeup consultation for my wedding?

This question comes up quite often so I decided to give you my thoughts. Do I need a trial makeup consultation for my wedding? In one simple word, no . I realize there are some makeup artists out there who will not, for whatever reason, provide wedding day makeup for a bride without first having a consultation. I am not one of those artists. Perhaps it stems from working in the film and print industry (outside of bridal) where I have learned to hone my skills and listen to what the client wants. Whether it's a model, photographer or producer requesting a specific look, I am confident in my ability to provide exactly what they envision for their project. My clients are pleased and everyone walks away satisfied with the results. My years of experience working as a makeup artist in Florida has given me a long history of wedding day makeup for destination brides. Very few of these brides are able to make all but the most required trips to plan their wedding day. Trying to schedule in ...

Planning a Destination Wedding

Destination weddings have become increasingly more common. With a touch of added romance, zesty adventure and of course the sultry GETAWAY, a destination wedding can be just that little special touch you're looking for. Planning and organizing a wedding in another city, state or country can be overwhelming and downright nerve-wracking. Trusting wedding professionals is scary enough, but depending on those not within reach can be quite intimidating. As quoted from theKnot.com in their Destination Wedding Basics: Top 13 Destination Wedding Tips, the Knot highly suggests to "Bring pros you trust from home to handle critical aspects such as the wedding photography, hair and makeup, and design (lighting, flowers)." There are so many things that can go wrong; no-show vendors, inferior skills, misunderstandings due to a language barrier, makeup artists not familiar with your skin type, strange and unregulated cosmetic products, and of course, fear of the unknown...
