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.

Happy New Year !!!

It’s been awhile but I’m finally back! I managed to survive the crazy and exhausting Holidays, and as much as I love Christmas and New Year’s, I have to admit I’m glad it’s over! I hope everyone had a great New Year’s and is as excited as I am for 2012!  I'm looking forward to another year of weddings and other events.  I've already been getting an ample amount of requests for makeup and I can’t wait so contact me today because it’s going to be a busy year!

14 day Manicure from Black Orchid Spa

I recently had a manicure done from Denisa at Black Orchid Spa. I'm really excited because I tried the new Orly GelFX manicure and it lasts 2 weeks chip free! I love the look of the regular gels but I don't like having the commitment of filling them and the condition that they leave my nails in once they've been removed. So Denisa suggested the Orly GelFX. They still give the look and shine of regular gels but they're a lot better for your nails because they're infused with vitamins A & E, and Pro Vitamin B5. So far it's been about a week and my nails are still in perfect condition! This is a great option for brides if you don't want the commitment of regular gels but still want your nails to look beautiful and last for your wedding and honeymoon thereafter. You can see other services that they offer and pricing info on the Black Orchid Spa website, the Orly GelFX is an extra $15, or contact Denisa at (604) 533-0195. Mention my name and she'll give you 15% off their services. They can also come to you as well, great idea for a bridal shower or just a pamper night with the girls : )

A Glimpse into the life of a Makeup Artist

So I’ve finally decided to jump on the bandwagon of blogging, in hopes to share my love and experiences of doing makeup and also to refine my writing skills : ) I’m a makeup artist who’s been working in the industry for over 10 1/2 years for the world renowned MAC Cosmetics, where I received the bulk of my training. I also freelance on the side doing weddings which is my true passion. Stay tuned for more posts of my upcoming work and makeup tips!
