C & I were talking about how lucky we have been to have met such beautiful brides. (BOTH inside & out) We don’t have horrific bridezilla stories, our gallery is stuffed with amazing pictures, and EVERY ONE of our brides, past, present & future have been so wonderful to work for!

Miss J is no exception! She gave us a brief description of how she wanted her hair (DITA VON TEESE – esque) and her makeup to be natural and light. With that, C & I went to work~

AND

Here are the results!

Before

After

Here are the products I used.

FACE – this is the MOST important part of makeup application!
- MAC Fix + = I used this to hydrate her skin and tone it as a preparation to apply makeup
- IOPE essense/primer spiral base << this is a Korean that is hard to find online. I will do a full product review on it shortly>>
- GIELLA – custom blend foundation
- MAKEUP FOREVER HD Powder = to set the foundation
- TOO FACED Candlelight = to highlight (brow bone, under eyes, bridge of nose, cupid arrow above lips, chin)
- KEVYN AUCOIN Natura = to contour the E3
- CARGO blue ray HD blush

EYES
- LAURA GELLER = eyeshadow primer
- MAC e/s = VEX (inner corner)
- MAC e/s = SUMPTIOUS OLIVE (outer corner)
- TOO FACED e/s = COCOA PUFF (to set the eyeliner and line the lower lash line. Sometimes, when you use black eyeliner along the lower lash line it closes up your eyes. Almost has like a slimming effect. Like how black clothes slim the body. So using a brown e/s to line the lower lash line gives it a softer but defined look without slimming the eyes)
- BOBBI BROWN gel liner
- SHISEIDO brow powder in light brown = I try to work with my client’s natural brow shape/color. It’s always so hard to see your eyebrows look different from the way they normally are. Filling in too much can make girls look masculine. So I try not to mess with brows except to gently fill them in.
- ANASTASIA clear brow gel

LASHES
- first I applied individual lashes and then a full strip on top. This gives it a more fuller look.
- IMJU Fiberwig Mascara = to bind her real lashes to the falsies

LIPS
- KEVYN AUCOIN – Bare lipliner
– MAYBELLINE – Pink Quartz lipstick (a gorgeous mauve color with a hint of gold shimmer)

Here’s a closer look at her beautiful eyes:

What is your bridal hair & makeup inspiration for your big day?

P.S. – we SO look forward to your wedding Miss J!
