I had such a great time getting to know Andrea and her bridesmaids today! Besides Andrea, I came in not knowing exactly who I'd being working on today. Each bridesmaid had an opinion of how they wanted their hair and makeup done and you can truely see ones personality shine through. It's always a treat when each person has a different look they want and I get to try a variety of styles! Most of the bridesmaids had also brought something for me to put in there hair. This was a fun idea from the bride who wanted each of them to have a look of their own. Andrea was a beautiful bride!!
After :
Andrea is beautiful with no makeup (see above picture). This is rare people. So, we didn't have to do a whole lot here. She wanted it very simple. I evened out her skin tone and added a little blush for color. For the eyes I highlighted in the inner corner and underneath the brow. For the eye lids I used a peachy, brown shimmer shadow with top black liner only. I then added a couple coats of mascara with some gloss for the lips and she was done! Simple, yet beautiful.
Bridesmaids :
#1 Sheek, sassy, and eloquent with a touch of bohemian ( we added a little bling to the back).
Makeup: Smokey eye and some color on the lip...but not to much to take away from the hair.
#2 Girl next door, simple, but classy.
Makeup: Everyday makeup taken up a notch for evening.
#4 Soft, romantic, but with a little flair (the feather). Loose curls pinned into a messy bun.
Makeup: Emphasis on the eyes. Liner, lashes and hints of shimmer = pretty.
#4 Traditional pulled back up-do. Very classy, but out of the face (busy mom!).
Makeup: FUN! She wanted me to do whatever I wanted. As a busy mom and nurse, she rarely wears makeup. Obviously, I wasn't going to do anything very drastic, since the actual use of makeup is a change in itself. However, being that she was open, I didn't shy away either. I emphasized color near her lash line, gave her a couple coats of mascara, evened out her skin tone w/ some foundation and she felt like a million bucks. (and looked it too -- check out the smile)!
There were two other bridesmaids that got away from me before I could take their pictures. I'm still getting the hang of being the "photographer" as well as the artist. Hopefully soon learn all the cool, neat things to do with my camera, but until then I'll probably continue taking semi-decent pictures. You must trust me that these girls look amazing in real life (plus really, really good in pictures!)
It was another rewarding day in Wedding World!
