Julie {Wedding}

I didn't get to meet Julie until the Thursday before her wedding when we did the trial, but she was so fun and so cute! She said she doesn't typically wear a lot of makeup and wanted to keep her look very natural while trying to play up her eyes. I gave Julie a nice glow with liquid foundation, soft pink blush (who doesn't love NARS Orgasm?) and all over bronzer. I kept her eye shadow soft while using a strong black liner on her top lid. With that, mascara and pale gloss goes a long way. She looks so pretty! What better look for a beach wedding than soft and sweet makeup?


Here are a few shots fabulous photographer Jenny Gomillion captured as the beautifying took place:

Julie's mom also had her makeup done and she was so funny! I think getting hair and makeup done is the perfect opportunity to kick back and relax in the midst of what can be a very emotional and stressful day. It's best just to take it all in and kick your heels up.


I went for a more dramatic eye here, especially since she would be wearing glasses. I didn't want her pretty eyes to be hidden away!



And the finished product! Look how nice and rosy her cheeks are. So pretty and refreshed! She definitely had that mother-of-the-bride glow.


Congratulations again, Julie! I had so much fun hanging out with you girls!


P.S. Thanks for the pictures, Jenny!

Mary {Wedding} Mother-of-the-Bride

I had so much fun getting to know Melissa and her mom, Mary who had their makeup done for Melissa's wedding at Santa Rosa Beach Club this weekend. Mary was just hilarious and kept me laughing for the better part of the day telling stories about Melissa and catching up on the latest episodes of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. Mary has the prettiest blue eyes!


When we did the makeup trial, we went a little darker around the eyes, but went just a little softer for the wedding day.

She was just so excited for Melissa and she looks like she's absolutely glowing! To top it off, her dress was a bright tropical print that was anything but boring. I loved it!
