Smokey eye

One of my faithful clients requested a smokey eye. So I used a grey shadow on her lid, a soft brown and an orange in her crease. Last I smoldered her eyeliner instead of using a gel liner I smudged a black liner. On her lash line I smudged a dark brown and burnt orange to give it a softer look. We used sunpower to bronze her skin and a coral occ liptar. 

Mrs. Cole

Sometimes as an artist you find a special connection with select clients. Although I have a connection with every bride I work with, This bride was very special. She has a personality and a smile that can light up any room. Her Husban is a very lucky man! 

Her wedding had a Fall theme and the attendants wore really dainty knee length purple dresses. I had a wonderful time working with each and eavery one of them. 

Shannon (the bride to be) wanted the same look we did for her trial a few months ago.

The Perfect Fall Wedding

Bride: Danielle Moye, Conneticut

I had the pleasure of traveling to CT for a very special bride. Her and her beautiful wedding party made my job easy. It was a long day of makeup and photography... But it was the perfect fall day for this fall themed wedding. For the bridesmaids we used plums and purples, and a peach lip. The bride had a golden glow to compliment the burnt orange and brown trends of her bouquet. On her lid I used groundwork paint pot, copper pigment, embark, red brick, shadowy lady, and carbon all by MAC. Her foundation is MAC Matchmaster, and studio finish concealer. We have her a bronzed glow using double definition limited edition highlighter. Her lip is a mauve gloss and plum liner.

Classic bride.

This bride wore a very classic look for her rustic wedding. Her dress was to die for! 

I had an amazing time doing her and her grandmother's makeup.

New Client Alert!

My client was going to a few events today and wanted a nice face that would last all day. I primed her face with UD setting spray, Garnier gel moisturizer, and hourglass primer. For her foundation I used Matchmaster by MAC. Her under eye highlight is Mac concealer palette and her lips are lined in BBQ and half n' half l/s all by Mac with a peach revlon gloss over top. I was in love with this look. 

Engagement photoshoot

Before & After

Meet my beautiful client Desiree! I was so happy to work with her for her engagement photos. She expressed that she liked pinks and her dress was a lime green so I used some purple and pink hues. Her foundation is match master by MAC. I love this foundation because the skin just absorbs it and it looks very natural all while giving great coverage.
