Meggen S wedding: Married May 21, 2011

For Meggen's wedding we traveled on location to a hotel in Capitol Hill where we prepared her and all the ladies in her bridal party for an afternoon wedding at Pravda Studios.

For Meggen's hair she wanted a style that was completely up and off of her neck, as well as away from her face. During her consultation and trial, Meggen expressed that she didn't want it to look as though she was wearing a bun, but instead wanted all the curls gathered and pinned in the back of her head. Her bridesmaids all chose different styles ranging from half up half down to headband braids and low messy side buns.


For Meggen's makeup she wanted something more than her everyday look, but nothing too dramatic. I began her makeup application with a light coat of airbrush foundation to give her skin a flawless appearance. For her eyes I used medium browns in her creases and soft gold's and champagne's in the middle and inner eye. To warm things up a bit I applied a light amount of a bright orange to give her eyes a warm glow. From there I added a thin liquid liner on top and a soft dusty powder liner on the bottom. Like most brides do, Meggen whet with false individual eye lashes to make here eyes POP. Lastly, we tied the look together with a beautiful mid tone fuscia from the spring/summer 2011 color palette.

Diana P Wedding: Married April 30, 2011

The morning of Diana's wedding, Amber and myself traveled to the beautiful Woodmark Hotel along the waterfront in Kirkland. For this occasion we provided bridal makeup as well as hair and airbrush makeup for the bridal party and mother of the bride. All of the ladies in the bridal party went with different hairstyles that complimented each of them individually.

For Diana's makeup she opted not to use airbrush foundation, and instead chose a lightweight dewy foundation that was applied by hand with a kabuki brush. Diana had flawless skin to begin with and needed very little coverage from her foundation. For her eyes she wanted something cool and dramatic, so I used a charcoal grey base in her crease and added a deep plum over top. I lightened the inside of her eyes with metallic cream and applied a soft lavender to her brow bone. I finished off her eyes with dramatic liquid liner and false individual lashes. For her cheeks we went with a bronzer, and for her lips she chose a soft mauve/burgundy color to tie everything together.
