Catch the beat: Bridal Edition

Bride: Danielle Freeman
Location: Baltimore, MD


I had a blast doing this bridal party... They really made it a party!

Product Rave: Revlon Photo ready liquid foundation

I typically use cream foundations on clients, however when I first began building my kit I purchased this foundation from my local drug store. I have never used them until this weekend because this line doesn't have a match for my shade. However, this foundation is very silky and creamy without feeling heavy. It photographs beautifully and it has build-able coverage. For my bride this weekend (previous post) I used my Sedona lace kabuki brush to stipple on the foundation, it blends seamlessly and is long lasting. I would suggest this foundation for an up and coming artists who is looking for an affordable foundation that photographs well. I believe I paid close to $12 for this foundation and I plan to use them more, especially on light/fair skin clients. I also suggest using a fibre brush or flat top kabuki brush to buff this foundation into the skin, remember to take the excess foundation to the neck, under chin and forehead for a seamless look.

Fairy tale Wedding

Our inspiration for this look was a pic the bride showed me of Kim Kardashian who rocked a smokey look with full flirty lashes . So we modified it a little just so that is looked very bridal. She still has a good contour and pronounced under eye highlight along with a nude lip and very full flirty lashes, we just swapped out the dark lid color for a gold glittery color So this was the end result and she loved it.

Face of the Day 4/13/13

This was my face of the day for my Engagement party. I wore a blue maxi dress which gave me boho/goddess/glam feel, so I went with this smokey goddess look. I keep the eyes dark with a little gold glitter, warm cheeks and a nude lip. I also gave my cheeks a little glow and added a full whispie lash.
