A beautiful day for a wedding!

Saturday, March 22nd was absolutely gorgeous and so was my bride of the day, Kelly! I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly in 2009 at an amazing event, Images for a Cure Five years later, I had the honor of being the makeup artist for her wedding. It was such a pleasure to be able to provide services for the bride, her mother and her bridesmaids. I can't wait to see the photos of these beautiful ladies.  Until then, here is a sneak peak at the lovely bride. And here's an image of Kelly from 2009! Isn't she stunning?  

Spring is here... Pretty makeup for every day

Spring is here... Time to change up your daily makeup and try something new and exciting.  Whether pretty pastels are your choice or going soft and natural, Spring is the season to treat yourself to a fun, fresh look.  Begin with a flawless foundation using tinted moisturizer. Make your own by mixing your foundation with an oil-free moisturizer.  Hints of pink on the eyes will brighten and open up your peepers. Go easy on the eye liner, keeping it light and soft. Taupe liner is a great option.  Flushed cheeks add life and youth to your face. Skip the bronzer and choose a natural blush color.  Rosy lips will keep it dreamy and romantic. Mix a berry pink lipstick with clear gloss for the perfect pucker! Add some mascara and you have a fabulous new you!
