Step by Step

I love my clients. I extra love them when they volunteer as models for me! One of my bridal trials last week let me do a step by step demo of getting wedding ready.

Step one) start with a clean fresh face and apply primer. We mixed MAC CC neutralize Prep + Prime with Smashbox Photo finish primer.

Step 2) apply foundation we lightly dabbed Kat Von D lock it foundation on the areas that needed extra coverage and did a light blow over of Dinair. 

Step 3) contour! We used BH cosmetics camouflage pallet. 

Step 4) blend blend blend

Step 5) Blush which doubles as a highlight Mac Azalea in the Afternoon, Eyebrows (Mac Fling) eyeshadow and mascara (Urban Decay Cannonball)

Step 6) Lashes (red cherry #43) eyeliner, mascara again, Mac Angel lipstick & boybait lipgloss also from Mac, lastly swept Nars Albatross down the center of the nose, on her cupids bow (above upper lip) and a smidge on her cheeks! 

Sista Sista!

Whether you're the star of the show or running the show; wedding day is the time to shine bright!

For this bridal look:

I used Kat Von D's 'Saint' palette, Ardell 'Demi Wispies' cut in half and used as flares, mascara used was Maybelline Colossal Lashes Glam Black waterproof, and for the brow I used Lancome's Le Crayon Poudre in 'Taupe'. On the lips: Urban decay 24-h Lip in 'Liar' with MAC cream sheen lipglass in 'Boy Bait'

For contouring and blush I used BH cosmetics 'Contour & Blush Palette'

 

For the Maid of Honor below: 

Lashes;I used Ardell Demi wispies (the full strip). For the brows I used Makeup Forever waterproof Aqua Brow in 'Ash', lid was a mix of diferent purples from my BH Cosmetics 88 color palette, and MAC Shroom for highlighting. Lips, contouring and mascara same as bride.

 

Last two finishing touches for each was MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Lightscapade for that candlelit glow, and set it all with Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray.

Congratulations Melissa & Nick!
