Alicia & Nick's Wedding

It's always so exciting when a bride that I've done makeup for finally sends me pictures from her wedding day.  I'm no professional photographer so I prefer to post pictures once they've received them from their photographers which is why it takes me sometime before I finally post the weddings up.  I was very excited when Alicia sent me the pictures from her wedding, I love seeing the finished look of the makeup with the hair and the dress and veil : )
 
I've been so blessed to have worked on so many beautiful and easy-going brides, and Alicia was just that : )  I also met her sister and mom before the wedding who I also did makeup for and they were just as sweet as she was, such a lovely family.

Congratulations Alicia & Nick!

Hiroko & Mike's Wedding

Here are some pictures from Hiroko and Mike's Wedding at the Hart House.  Hiroko wanted her wedding makeup to be more cool in tone than the warm neutral's that we did for her engagement shoot, so I created an eye makeup for her using some mauves and silvery-cool taupe shadows, smudging some black liner along her lashline to create a thick yet soft line to shape and define her eyes. Some key products that I used were #43 MAC lashes because we didn't want the lashes to be too long and obvious.  The mix of brown & black hairs in the lashes gave it that full but natural look, perfect for brides that have shorter lashes to begin with.  Gentle Mineral Blush was used to create a cooler, rosier cheek.  Staunchly Stylish Prolong Wear Lip Pencil, Supreme Style Sheen Supreme lipstick, and Love Nectar Lustreglass gave the lips an understated glossy look.  

Hiroko's bridesmaids dresses were a beautiful jewel-toned purple so I chose a rich purple eyeshadow that complimented the dresses and accentuated their eyes.

A few days after the wedding Hiroko's sister Keiko who was also her MOH sent me an email saying

"Hi Ariana I just wanted to thank you for all of your help for my sister's wedding!  Everyone looked great!  On a personal note, having a professional artist do my makeup was a new experience for me.  My makeup stayed on the entire night even after one "ugly cry" by yours truly as I was giving my speech lol!  I felt amazing and the pictures turned out fabulous! Thanks again!"

Congratulations Hiroko & Mike!
