Becca {Bachelorette Party!}

Becca is not only one of my very favorite people, but has got to be the cutest little bride-to-be who ever said pink was her favorite color. The girl looks better in pink than anyone! June 6th is the big day (right around the corner!) and she invited me along to celebrate one of her last weekends as a single girl. We've known each other since the good ol' college days at FSU and Becca isn't usually one to pile on makeup -- she just doesn't need it!

For the bachelorette night out, she wanted to do more dramatic eyes so we went with a little highlighter, some black eyeliner, pumped up lashes and a touch of pink (of course!) .

The overall effect was soft and pretty, with pink-hotness that didn't look overdone. Doesn't Becca look gorgeous? I can't wait for the wedding!

Angie {Wedding}


{the look}

I was so excited to do Angie's makeup for her wedding, because I knew she was going to have fun with it. When I asked her what her wedding look was and what she was thinking for makeup, she had the same answer for both- blue and coral. She wanted to do blue eyeshadow (not the 60s Mimi kind!) and a coral lip. She also didn't usually wear a lot of makeup.


We decided to go lighter on the face, using just powder, highlighter and blush - no foundation. I gave her a smoky blue eye and we finished with glossy coral lips. Just what she wanted! It was light and beachy, but still pretty and perfect for her theme.

Her sister Jodi and her daughters were the bridesmaids and they were all just beyond adorable. Steve (the groom) even gave each of the girls a bracelet during the ceremony. It was a little on the windy side, but her hair and makeup lasted!
