Introducing Makeup by Ariana Team

Can't believe it's been months since my last post!  The start to the wedding season has been crazy busy and I can barely keep up with all the inquiries so I've decided to put together a team of talented, seasoned, skilled, makeup and hair artists to help me out : )  All hand picked for their wealth of  knowledge, experience and time in the industry I know my Brides will adore them as much as I do!

Here is some of their amazing work, you can see more of their work on my website under Portfolio.

Makeup for Marie Avgeropoulos

A few months back I had the pleasure of doing makeup for hottie Marie Avgeropoulos when she was doing a photoshoot in town.  Marie plays bad girl Kirstie in the new CW Series Cult.  She's also appeared in "I Love You Beth Cooper", Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and 50/50 just to name a few.  I've done Marie's makeup a few times for various photoshoots and events and she's always so amazing to work with.  Despite her girlie looks Marie is very outdoorsy, she was born in Thunder Bay Ontario where she grew up hunting and fishing. Marie currently lives in LA where she enjoys riding her motorbike, playing drums and she's currently filming the new CW drama Pilot called The 100.

The Makeup:
Here are the key products I used to create Marie's look for her photoshoot  (all MAC) Cream colour base in Root, Kid Eyeshadow, Black Black Chromaline and Photograuvre Technakhol and #30 Individual Lashes on her eyes. Bronzy Mineral Blush in Warm Soul on her cheeks, beige-nude Prolong wear Lip Pencil in Etcetera with Freckletone Lipstick and peachy-gold Lipglass in Enchantress her lips.

Makeup Party!

I recently held a makeup party for birthday girl Aria, the cutest and sweetest 13 year old I've ever met and her closest friends. We had so much fun doing makeup while eating cupcakes and chocolates,  and washing it all down with sparkling pink lemondade.  The girls even had a little photoshoot afterwards with the talented photographer Erica Chan. 

Here's some pictures from their shoot.




Birthday Girl Aria : )

 

 

Aliya & Chris' Engagement Shoot

I know Aliya because she use to be one of my clients at MAC, she would come in occasionally to see me to have her makeup done for special events and parties.  A few years passed that I didn't see Aliya and recently one evening we ran into eachother when we were both at the same restaurant for dinner.  She told me that she was getting married this December and having her engagement photos taken in the next couple of weeks, she was trying to find me because she liked the way that I did her makeup the best. What a compliment! I was so flattered : )

Doing Aliya's makeup for her engagement shoot was a breeze because she's naturally beautiful.  I kept her makeup clean and polished, defining and enhancing her natural features. I used Arena eyeshadow on her eyelids, a colour that I overlooked for awhile but just recently rediscovered and love!  It's a warm peachy beige with a slight sheen - perfect for those who still want a bit of shimmer without the frosty look.   Texture eyeshadow in the crease to create some depth and bring Arena out.  I warmed up her cheeks with one of my favorite mineral blushes - Warm Soul to give her that nice sunkissed glow and finished her look with a peachy-pink lipstick called Fanfare.

Tiffany & Sam's Engagement Shoot

I met Tiffany last year when she was the MOH for her bestfriend Christine & Koby's Wedding and I was thrilled when she asked me to do the makeup for her wedding later this year : )  Tiffany is gorgeous, I couldn't wait to show off these pictures from her engagement shoot of her and her soon to be hubby Sam which was also featured on Tutu & Fru.  I used MAC Prolong wear eyeshadows in Make Your Mark and Legendary Black because they go on like butter and last for up to 8hrs. The beautiful lush and very full #48 lashes.  Prolong wear concealer mixed with a drop of our Careblend Essential Oil, to give her that flawless skin.  And we did a mixture of her own pink lipstick with a nude Cremesheen Glass called Boybait.  Can't wait for the wedding in September at the Rosewood Georgia Hotel!

Hiroko and Mike's Engagement Shoot

Here are some picture's from Hiroko and Mike's engagement shoot.  Hiroko wanted to do a soft smokey eye for the pictures to emphasize her eyes but still look natural.  I created a look using some soft bronze eyeshadows and and a wispy pair of # 4 lashes, Supreme Style Sheen supreme lipstick and a little bit of Love Nectar Lustreglass on top.  I just did Hiroko's makeup for her wedding yesterday and I can't wait to get the pictures to post them!
