Gina Query's Wedding: March 19, 2011

Before Gina's wedding day, we had previously worked together when she was a bridesmaid in another wedding. I was thrilled to get the call where she told me she was now getting married and that OffWhite was her first choice for hair and makeup.

On the actual day of her wedding, my assistant Amber and I traveled out on location to Sea-Tac for some pre-wedding day beauty with her and the bridal party. They ladies were all so lovely and Gina's venue, Landmark On The Sound provided a beautiful backdrop for all the festivities. Of course the photography by JennyGG may have also played a part in why it all turned out so wonderful.

The pictures probably don't do justice the amount of hair that Gina actually has, and so when she decided to wear it down for her wedding I thought it was an excellent idea. She went with a very loose curl and then small sections pinned back from around the face frame. For the sections that we choose to pin back, I took them and wove them into a loose french braid using 5 sections instead of 3. This technique gave a very sofa woven effect without the look of actual braiding.

For Ginas makeup we decided to play up the eyes but also use a full colored lip. I started with a pore minimizing primer and them sprayed airbrush foundation over top to give her skin a flawless light weight coverage. From there we colored her eyebrows back in and added a touch of terra-cotta blush for warmth. Moving on to her eyes, I first used a shadow magnet primer and then went back over it with a matte cream. I then went into her crease with a plum colored brown and medium bronze to give her eyes dimension. I added a soft taupe and light charcoal purple to the middle of the eye, and then finished it off by highlighting the insides. I applied a very thin black/brown liner to the top and bottom and then for a final magic touch, applied the false lashes to make everything pop. For Gina's lip color she choose a raspberry merlot shade called enchanting, which matched her skin tone beautifully and complimented her eyes.

Sara Reeves (Fox) July 31, 2010

Everyone, say hello to Sara, she is going to be the new face of my 2011 advertising campaign. I had the opportunity last July to do her wedding makeup, along with the other 7 ladies in her bridal party. Sara wasn't my typical client in that she was not going for a natural face on the day of her wedding. Sara wanted dramatic, and in order to give her what she wanted we did two different trial. Her reception was held at the Renton Community Canter and all the photography was provided by the wonderfully talented, absolutely amazing, super sweet Jenny GG. Below are professional photos as well as the before and afters of Sara and her bridal party.
