Hiroko & Mike's Sneak Peek

I realize it's been over a month since my last post, but between working full-time at MAC, freelancing and trying to squeeze in time for friend's and family I've had virtually no time to keep my blog updated.....Until now, I've got 3 glorious days off!  So here it is, a sneak peek at Hiroko and Mike's engagement session, they'll be tying the knot this June and I can't wait to do Hiroko's makeup again for her big day : )

Product that i'm loving right now...

MAC Prep + Prime Skin Smoother

I'm in love with the newest addition to our  Prep + Prime line.  For ultra-smooth, velvety looking skin this is a must have for everybody.  It fills in fine lines and minimizes the look of pores, while creating a smooth base for your foundation to help it glide onto your skin like silk.  It works great just on it's own for a more matte look that makes your skin look soft and diffused.  Try buffing it into your T-zone and around the eyes with the #286 Duo Fibre Blending Brush.  It's also super convenient to travel with since it comes in a handy compact with a mirror.  I can't say enough about how much I love this product so you'll just have to try it and see for yourself!

Maria & Luke's Wedding

Maria is one of the most easy-going brides that I’ve had the pleasure of doing makeup on. The morning of the wedding day, despite a few setbacks with the hair and some chaos in the hotel room, Maria remained completely calm and composed. I think I was even more flustered than she was! But because she was so relaxed it made me relax, making my job much easier.
One of the first things I noticed about Maria was her beautiful hazel-green, almond-shaped eyes so I really wanted to focus on that feature of her. We played the eyes up in smokey golds, bronzes, and dark browns. Then defined them with a thicker black winged out liner and #48 MAC lashes (there’s those lashes again!). A little bit of bronzer on the cheeks and a neutral lip finished off the look. The main shadows that I used on her eyes were – Vanilla pigment, Retrospeck, Woodwinked, Cork and Brun eyeshadows. Stunning!


Congratulations Maria & Luke and thank you to Lisa Bertsch from Echo Studios Photography for the pictures : )

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!

Vanessa & Dawson's Wedding

One of the reasons I love doing wedding makeup is I get to meet some of the most beautiful brides inside and out, and Vanessa was one of them. During her consultation I discovered that Vanessa use to compete in dance with her sister when they were younger. Vanessa and her sister would travel all over the States to dance, and because they were performing on stage they had to wear a lot of makeup which she became accustomed to. So when we were discussing what kind of look she wanted to have for her wedding day I wasn’t surprised when she pulled out a picture of an intense, black smokey eye with nude lips. I was thrilled because I knew how striking this would look on her perfectly flawless skin and how much definition it would give her eyes in the pictures.


Key products – #3 Lashes, Carbon, Smut and Texture eyeshadows, Pale Lip Erase, Creme d’ Nude Lipstick and Fashion Whim Cremesheen Glass. Our limited holiday set - Iced Delights Lip bag / Wintercool includes the lipstick, gloss and lip pencil in a snowglobe inspired bag, makes a great little touch up kit for your wedding day!
