Wedding: Hina M. Married September 17, 2011

At the end of September, Amber and I traveled on location to the Seattle Tennis Club so that we could prepare Hina and her bridal party member for the fabulous 2 part wedding she hosted at the Seattle Tennis Club. In the morning we gave Hina a look that complimented her traditional American ceremony in the afternoon. Then a few hours later we came back on location to change up her look so that it would match the traditional Indian portion of her reception. 

 

The video below is a breathtaking glimpse into how Hina and Andrew's wedding day played out, from start to finish. A big thanks to Darren at Good Times Production for sharing this video with us, and for all of your great work... you are a rock star!

Wedding: Daphne Married July 3, 2011

Over the 4th of July weekend, Amber, Ursela, and myself had the pleasure of traveling on location to the New Castle Gold Club to prepare Dafne, her bridal part, and family members for a beautiful sunset wedding. 

Dafne went with a soft and loose asymmetrical hairstyle. She wanted something low on her neck and a sweeping back to frame her face. 

For her makeup, I applied a light layer of airbrush foundation and bronzing powder to her cheeks, nose, and collar bones. For her eyes we went dark and sultry, using deep purples, bronzes, and charcoal. We finished the look off with false eye lash extensions and a light coral lip.

Please enjoy the video below, compliments of the very talented Darren at Good Times Productions.

Wedding: Courtney E. Married July 31, 2011

On Courtney's wedding day, I traveled out to a private family residence in Arlington where the ceremony and reception took place. This was an extra special client for me, because not only was I hired to do her hair and makeup, but I also attended the wedding as a guest. The entire event was gorgeous and Courtney was such a sweet bride to work with.

For her hair, Courtney wanted something soft and to one side. She asked for low, soft sweeping bangs, and medium volume through out the top of her hair. The finishing touch was a small white flower, with netting attached to it that we clipped into the side.

Courtney wanted her makeup to be feminine, bright, and compliment all of the beautiful colors used in her bouquet. We began with a light coat of airbrush foundation and concealer around the under eye area. For her eyes, I used a combination of soft pastel pink, a shimmery melon, and light gold on the inner and middle eye. To darken her creases, I applied a matted chocolate brown and then lined the entire upper eye with a black/brown powder liner. Finally I applied false individual eyelashes to make her face pop, and tied everything together with a muted melon color lipstick and shimmery pink gloss over top.

Lisa L. Wedding: Married June 10th, 2011

On the day of Lisa's wedding, Megan and Elizabeth traveled on location to her home for a relaxing afternoon of hair and makeup preparations. Lisa, along with her 5 bridesmaids, all wanted hair and makeup looks that matched their individual style, while complimenting the colors used in the wedding.

For Lisa's bridal hair style, she choose something textured, soft and off to one side. When the style was finished, we added a beautiful vintage inspired hair piece to tie everything together.  

For her makeup, we began with primer, and then a full coat of airbrush foundation to give her skin flawless total coverage. For her cheeks, Lisa choose a soft pink color that was applied along with a bronzer. On her eyes, we used soft champagnes on the inner eye, a medium mauve and pink color on the middle eye, and a graphite gray and honey brown on the inner crease. Lisa wanted her makeup to be more dramatic than how she wears it from day to day, while still looking like herself. We finished off the look with a soft watermelon colors gloss on the lips and beautiful false individual eyelashes. 

Please enjoy the romantic and fun filled photos from Lisa's wedding, compliments of Gabriel Van Whye.

Diane S. Wedding: Married May 29th, 2011

On a brisk northwest spring day we met Diane on location at her home in Ballard, one of my favorite neighborhoods in Seattle, for a tranquil morning of pampering and beauty. That morning I styled Diane's hair and make-up for her mid-afternoon wedding. The bride wanted a very classic make-up style. To start, we airbrushed on liquid make-up as a base and brightened up her cheeks with a warm rose to match her skin tone. With a fine tip brush, I applied a soft black liner on Diane's smiling eyes and swept on hints of blue shadow to contour. A soft glossy lip finished the look.

For the bride's hair, I used a large barrel iron to curl Diane's hair. I then pinned it halfway up into a modern take on the 1960's bump style. Fresh flowers were secured on the bride's hair to polish off the look. Diane's intimate wedding celebration was hosted at her family's restaurant, Wild Orchid, in Ballard.

Daphne's Wedding: Married May 21st, 2011

We love our brides and it's always a huge honor to be a part of their weddings! We were so excited when beautiful bride Daphne asked for our help to create not one, but two bridal looks for her on her wedding day! On a dewy May morning, we met Daphne on location at her Seattle residence to beautify her for her morning wedding ceremony. She wanted to look just like herself, but with a bridal glow. Make-up artist Michelle lightly applied airbrush make-up as Daphne's fair complexion is near flawless. On her eyes, Michelle used purple hews to create a delicate contour on her lids. Her morning look was completed with a light coral pink lip gloss and soft brush.

To prepare for a fun night of partying, we returned to help Daphne create a sexier evening look. We met the bride on location this time at the Novelty Hill Winery. For Daphne, smokey eyes, bolder lips, and false individual lashes created her romantic evening look. From blushing bride to total babe!

Bria W. Wedding: Married June 12, 2011

3 days before Bria's wedding, she called OffWhite in a panic over the fact that her hair and makeup person had canceled on her that day. After a quick conversation and a few phone calls, we arranged for Bria to come in the day before her wedding for a bridal hair and makeup trial. 

On the actual day of Bria's wedding, Elizabeth and I traveled on location to the Edgewater to provide a morning of beautification for the bride and her 4 bridesmaids. 

For the brides hair style, she wanted something classic, all up, and inspired by Carrie Underwood. For Bria's makeup, she choose two different looks, one for the ceremony and one for the reception. Both makeup applications began with a light coat of airbrush foundation and a medium bronzer on the cheeks. The first application of eye makeup consisted of light natural tones, champagnes, pinks, and gold. I finished off the eyes with false individual lashes and a stark black liquid liner. For Bria, the most important part of her afternoon look was a vibrant tomato red lip. 

In the evening I came back on location for a second makeup application. At that time we darkened the creases of her eye with charcoal gray and intensified the eyeliner on the top and bottom. Finally we changed out the bright red lip for a soft nude pink and clear gloss.
