Kim is a client of my sister Laura's (hair stylist at Salon F/X)...a few times Laura and I have done weddings as a team. (She does hair, I do make-up.) This was one of those fun wedding days that we worked together! Kim is the bride...this is a 'before & after' picture of her. Kim was so great to work with--she knew exactly what she wanted, brought some picture ideas with her, and I've worked with her four times--I did a consultation trial run, a special formal event, her bridal portrait session, and her wedding day! Congrats, Kim!!
Kim wanted dramatic eyes, and lots of browns and bronze colors...she looked beautiful! (I loved the fact that she told me afterwards that everyone was complimenting how long her makeup lasted--she had a very formal wedding, and two receptions (with two dresses)! Partying into the night, her make-up looked great at the beginning AND the end...and that is huge!)
This is maid of honor, Carla--she is Kim's sister and is a blast to work with as well. I've done her makeup for a special formal event and for the wedding. We went with a smokey grey eye look and nude lips. She doesn't wear make-up a lot so she wanted to keep it simple, but with the formality of the wedding and black dresses, this was a great look for her!
This is bridesmaid Elaine--she was nervous about getting her make-up professionally done and thought it might look like way too much (another client not used to wearing make-up). However, she loved it when I was finished. I took this picture on my digital camera so I could show her how much the lens absorbs make-up. When you use just a little bit more for a special event, your face won't wash out when you're in front of flashing cameras all night! You will glow and look beautiful, but you don't have to look like you've caked a bunch of make-up on--it's all in the application!
