This before and after photo is of one of my brides, Meredith. She was not completely sure of the look she wanted. She rarely wears any makeup at all. We first decided to go with a smokey, somewhat dramatic eye. While she really did love the way it looked, she didn't feel like herself. I think she looks pretty amazing, but of course wanted her to be happy.
After thinking about it for a little while, she decided that a contour style eye was more her preference. She told me that she didn't want it to be as smokey, that she liked it lighter on the lid area and trusted that I would be able to make these changes (without having another trial session) and create it on her wedding day.
The next two photos were taken on her wedding day by her photographer, capturing me working, and the final look on one very beautiful, happy Bride.
Next is Danielle... we met last May at her NYC apartment for her bridal makeup trial. Not totally sure of what she was looking for, she gave me a photo from a magazine of the makeup style she thought she might like. This photo below shows the final look after the session. Since she did not completely love the eyes, but wasn't sure of the look she wanted, she took some time over the summer to really think about it and then came to me for her 2nd trial last weekend.
During this session I only worked on the eyes; no foundation, lip or cheek color was done. This is her before photo:
She decided that she wanted the entire eye lined in black, including the inner eye area. She wanted her lid lighter, her crease darker, and the inner corners of her eyes given a strong highlight. Lastly, she wanted me to add a soft shimmery gold color along the bottom. Below is the finished eye, which we both LOVED! I can't wait for her wedding this October!
