Today I traveled on location to Hotel Andra for Natalie's wedding. Her hair style and makeup turned out so amazing that I wanted to share with all of you a quick sneaks peak. Her influences were a cross between Hillary Duff's wedding photos, and the iconic Sarah Jessica Parker bun. Natalie had a ton of hair to work with so creating this style was not a problem at all. She recently visited Gary Manuel Salon for a root touchup and full foil, which helped create dimension to her look and boosted the intensity of her color. Visiting a salon one week prior to the wedding day is highly recommended because it really does add a vibrant glow to the overall look and hair style.
For her makeup she wanted something dramatic and flawless so we started with a pore minimizing primer and then gave her full coverage airbrush foundation. For her eyes we used a combination of steel brown, copper/bronze, and a matte black in her crease. I then went over the rest of her eye with a soft champagne and light metallic pink to make the inside pop. After that I dusted the inner and outer lid with a matte black liner, which helped add shape. Lastly I applied a nice row of false individual lashes and added a cold/blue toned pink to her lips.
On top of what I did for Natalie, I also had the chance to help beautify her mother. Her mom wanted glam, along with a bit of what she called "60"s" volume. To achieve that I used lots of fall colors on both the eyes and lips, which doing so complimented her dress quit well. For her hair, I teased the crown of her head till it couldn't get any bigger, combed it over with my Mason Pearson, and then finally pinned back a few pieces around her face to show off her earrings.
I want to finish up by wishing Natalie and Curtis Congratulations on their wedding day. I am happy for them that the sun stuck around long enough to get a few good photos, and I hope they have a safe trip to Jamaica for their honeymoon. I will post the professional pictures from Lucid Captures when they become available.
