Maui Wedding Makeup

Tina wanted a red lip and a "Gatsby" eye for her themed wedding in Maui at the Hotel Wailea. I used lip stain, lip liner, and gloss. I went with a classic thin-winged-eyeliner and a subtle taupe in the crease of her eye, along with filling in her brows and a great compleion.

There was a vintage feel to this shoot, with lots of antiques and driftwood. There were lilacs and greys throughout the setting and so I tied these shades into the look. Greys and purples are not necessarily a first choice on warm skintones, so it was important that I chose shades that flattered her skintone and also used some warmer pink and peach tones to warm up and blend with the lavendar and grey.

Maui Bridal Party Look

I used neutral matte shadows to contour Stephanies eyes. I applied a soft bronze shimmer under her eyes to give a softer more bohemian look as opposed to more of a crisp classic look. The strategically placed bronzer with the bright peachy pink lip went together beautifully on her skintone.

On Lorrie I used soft purples to make her green eyes pop, with a subtle yet intense black liner and a few single lashes. I also gave her a great complexion blending multiple products.

Mel's Bridal Makeup

Mel is a girl who loves makeup. She wanted more of fairytale bridal look, for lack of a better term. With her eyes I created the perfect shape using dramatic eyeliner. We used full coverage products using colors great on her skin tone in the pink family.

On McKell I wanted to keep it youthful and sophisticated so we used some subtle shades of shadow, keeping the liner close the eye so that it didn't look too grown up. I made sure she felt beautiful, while keeping it mother approved ;).

I wanted to enhance Havilah's warm glow for her Winter wedding, and did so by using burnished warm shadow shades with a natural lip color, while keeping it simple as per request.

Wedding Makeup Cabo San Lucas

Lizzie wanted natural makeup that would feel lightweight, especially under the Mexican sun. We used sheer oil free products, and went with pinks and peaches as to keep her looking fresh and feminine, while also tying in her jewlery. The look was a sophisticated and classic.

At the last minute Sarah, Lizzie's cousin, had me do her eyes cheeks and lips. We went with complexion flattering tones in bronze, olive, and apricot, to polish her look.

Heidi was a more typical bride in that she didn't typically wear much makeup, so we used lighter products that would look natural in person, while making sure that she would look just as fabulous in photographs. We took time to tweak each aspect until it was just perfect through a trial run through, and the day of she was at ease knowing what exactly to expect. A trial is a great option if a bride has some aprehension about getting her makeup done.

My goal with Dr. Marga was that I bring out her personality into a natural look, so that she was able to feel confident while the spotlight was on her.

Final Touches

Application

Sometimes you have to finish with a pop of blush. As everything comes together and finally warms to the face I find that it can almost become too blended, and you need that pop of blush right at the end.
