What should you expect at a BRIDAL MAKEUP trial?

 
As a makeup artist my goal is to make you, the bride, feel like a more glamorous version of yourself. The makeup needs to make your best features POP! When I started doing bridal makeup, I decided to do a free trial. This allows the bride and I to get to know each other and see if we are a good match. I want to make sure a bride is 100% happy before booking. I ask my brides to come to the trial with a clean/moisturized face. I also love when brides share "pins" to give me an idea of what she loves. 
 
I ask many questions that help me get to know a brides style and preferences. Here are a few examples…
 
What type of foundation do you wear?
What level of coverage do you like?
What is you biggest concern?
What is your favorite feature?
 
After hearing all of the answers, I give the bride my idea of how I would like to see her. If we are in tune, I start…. 
 
I prime the skin, apply the desired coverage of foundation, conceal, set, contour, bronze, add a touch of color on the cheeks and set. Next I apple shadow, liner, mascara, false lashes, and more mascara. Some brides need a little brow shaping and lastly are the lips. I have the bride look in the mirror and give me her feedback. I ask if there is anything that needs to be changed or adjusted.
 
I will give a list of a few things needed for the wedding day (lip gloss, setting powder  and a brush)
 
Pictures are such a big deal, so we take several to make sure everything photographs really well. Seeing one's self in a picture is different than looking in a mirror. You will be able to see yourself how other will see you. 
 
If the bride is pleased she may fill out a contract and book her big day!

THANKS,

False lashes?

Over the past few years I have done many brides and the big debate is whether or not they should wear false lashes. I say YES! There are many pros, hardly any cons and I have answers to the most frequently asked questions. Lashes are a great way to add glamour to a wedding day look. They are painless to apply, inexpensive and last all night! One of the greatest part about wearing lashes is that it makes your eyes really stand out in pictures (and you will feel extra sexy).

Brides always want to know….
Do they hurt or will they irritate my eyes? No. They take only minutes to apply and for the glue to dry. For a few minutes it will feel odd having a foreign object on your lash line, but not long after application you will be used to them and not even remember they are there.
Will they fall off? No. I use a special glue that keeps them in place for more than 12 hours. Many brides have told me that they are still on the following morning (and still look great).
Will they look fake? No way. I have a special technique to apply them, making them look completely natural.
How do they come off? Put some eye makeup remover on a cotton ball and set on eye for 30-60 seconds.This will loosen the glue and make them come off easy.
How do I pick lashes that are right for me? They range from natural to dramatic, so it depends on what kind of look you are going for. If you want a bold look, pick ones that are jet black and and more lashes (close together) on the strip. If you want a natural look, choose ones that are less course and have larger spaces in between each lash.
Do I have to spend a lot of money on them? They range from $3-$20 dollars. MAC cosmetics has beautiful high quality lashes and a wide variety. You can also go to your local drug store and find many for a fraction of the price.

So if you are still debating whether or not to wear false lashes on your wedding day, talk to your makeup artist. Book a trial and ask to do the lashes then. I guarantee that you will love it!

Mira’s Wedding

Mira tied the knot on the hottest day in May. She wanted a look that made her feel sexy and beautiful and stay all night long. She had a unique Indian/Polish wedding and wanted her makeup to reflect that uniqueness. 

To start, I primed her face. Then I buffed on a cocktail of Bare Mineral colors. I set the foundation with a translucent powder. I bronzed her, added a pop of color on the apples of her cheeks. To add a healthy glow to the skin I added a radiance around her eyes and on her cheekbones.

For her eyes, I did a light color under the brows, a sparkly shadow on the lid and a smokey purple in the crease. We added lots of black eyeliner, mascara and false lashes.

I did a lighter lip color from MAC to compliment the sexy dark eyes.

 I had such a great time with Mira and her bridal party and I was so excited to see the amazing pictures! Check out more on Flawless By Tiffany's Facebook page
