WOW!

Yesterdays bridal makeup trial presented me with a little challenge. My client had gotten an airbrush spray tan 2 weeks prior and she was left with some remnants of the faux tan on her neck. Since she desired that sun-kissed look for her wedding day, I decided to match the darkest part of her neck to her face. Below is the dramatic before/after image. Take notice of her brows and dark under eye circles. All makeup ~ no retouching!

Just for FUN!

This is Eva, my boyfriends daughter. She'll be turning 13 this June. I noticed she started experimenting with eye makeup last summer. She's a multi~talented creative girl, who excels in singing, acting and drawing. Recently we spent the day playing with makeup. It was a great way to connect and do something just for fun! Since she is so young, I wanted to make sure I didn't go overboard and stayed within an "age appropriate" boundary, while still taking into consideration her personality and her interests. We decided to go with an edgy look(notice the blueish-green streaks of color in her hair). I did not apply any foundation. I only applied some blush and a bit of a shimmery highlight on her cheekbones, nose, chin, corners of eyes, and forehead. For her eyes, the shadow I chose was a subtle sparkly gold, applied from lid to brow. I added a tiny bit of under eye concealer. Then, I lined the inner lid w/ black liner. I continued to line the upper lid, extending it thicker towards the outer corners of the eye, finishing it with a winged-out pointed end. Her lips ~ just a bit of nude gloss. Finished with a bit of mascara. I have a funny feeling this is just the beginning of our makeup play days together. :)

KILLER dimple Eva!

"Make Me Pretty"

This sweet-as-can-be-bride-to-be came for her bridal trial makeup consultation. She rarely wears much makeup and said, "just make me pretty". That wasn't difficult at all. Since I'm an Esthetician, I noticed she had some skin dryness/flakeyness and suggested that she come see me at the spa where I do facials. It won't take much to polish and hydrate her skin. This will only enhance how the makeup appears on her skin; flawlessly, undetectably, radiant.

Once I was done with the makeup, she took a peak. Her reaction was the ultimate compliment. She started to well-up with tears and said, "I need to give you a hug....I have never looked this pretty...I feel like a movie star...I'm so glad I found you" I thought....this is exactly why I chose this path. I LOVE making people feel good.

This is the email I received the following day: "Hi Kerry, I just wanted to thank you again for Friday. I felt so good going out on Friday night. Billy freaked when he saw me…he said that I looked like a model and he wondered if I looked too sexy for our wedding. That’s when I knew it was perfect :) My other friend who saw me that night loved it too and I think that she will be contacting you regarding her wedding (sept) now too."
