Blue eyed Bride



I just love a good wedding don't you?
I honestly think those are some of my favorite makeup looks to create.
There is something quite magical about knowing you are helping a woman look and feel beautiful on one of the most important days of her life.
My latest bride, Jen, was no exception.
She was such a joy to work with. Smart with a wicked sense of humor and excellent style.
She wanted simple, chic and elegant.
Classic bride but with a hint of drama.


 I created a simple look using varying shades of brown & bronzes and accentuated her eye shape with a dark brown liner and a soft fringe of lashes.
A little about her bridal style:
She scored her dress for $99 (holla!) and then splurged on an amazing statement necklace to set off the whole look.

                                               Congratulations Jen and Steve!!

                                   I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!

Thanks for letting me be part of your special day!

J-J-Jaded Eyes

A few weeks ago I asked for makeup models to try out a few new looks and my girl Q was happy to oblige.
I was inspired by an image I found on Pinterest
 I instantly fell in love with the jade green smolder and knew that would be the perfect look for her going away party that evening.

Q loved the jade green color and with her brown eyes the end result was a slight departure from the original but definitely suited her.
The teal color is absolutely on trend right now as well so we are ahead of the game!
What do you think?
Any trends you're dying to try for Fall or want see tested out here?
