Marina wanted her natural curls enhanced- We went with embracing her volume, and doing a middle part.
My bride Marina wanted a look that was “her” and ultimately we all want to feel like the best version of ourselves. We opted for a natural makeup look with hair down for her classic church wedding.
I really love how the placement of Marina’s veil gives a vintage feel, and it’s so sheer that you can see her gorgeous curls and makeup shine.
When your “something blue” is your eyeshadow
I love cute traditions, like the whole saying “Something old, something borrowed, something new, something blue” to bring good luck on your wedding day.
For my Jenn’s wedding in Pasadena, California, we wanted her makeup and hair to tie in to her whole wedding vision. The wedding vibe was romantic, vintage, and playful- yet still had this traditional feel.
One thing I love about being a Los Angeles Makeup Artist is the countless venues and areas that my brides get married in! We got Jenn and her girls ready at an adorable house in Pasadena- not too far from the Quaker Meeting House.
For Jenn’s makeup look, we did airbrush makeup for her complexion using Temptu. I do the WHOLE complexion (foundation, bronzer, blush, highlight) with airbrush makeup for extra longevity. Let’s be real, I just imagine everyone crying LOTS of happy tears.
To create this gorgeous eye moment, I mixed Half Magic Beauty “Sky Juice” with a touch of concealer, and packed a silver-y highlight from Danessa Myricks on top. We did a small cat eye, also referred to as a “kitten eye” by me, and topped the eyes off with subtle individual lashes. I always feel like coral tones go well with baby blue, so I did a coral glossy lip and warmer coral toned blush to compliment the pink and coral colors in the wedding color palette.
I love how there is a consistent theme with color, and everything in this wedding ties so beautifully together!
One of my favorite things is that Lauren, my hairstylist, pinned Jenn’s hair so she could take it out for a second look without the curls being crazy. She added a headband, and I adore the final look for makeup and hair.
Congrats Jenn + Chris!
