Yesterday, I had a Bridal Hair and Makeup trial for my soon to be October Bride this year. One thing that I love about wedding preparation is trial hair and makeup. I know a lot of my friends went through a lots of trial makeup before picking “the one”.
As a makeup artist, I understand the Importance of having a trial makeup, (click here) I highly recommend it to my clients because it is the greatest day of any woman’s life to get married so looking great is not an option.
As for my makeup trial for this year, I am lucky to have met a fabulous woman whose inner beauty shone to bright she doesn’t even need any makeup on!
Trial makeup client
Skin Type: Combination skin
Request: Smokey sultry eye makeup, flawless base
My client’s skin is an oily- combination skin all I need is to prepare her skin for smooth foundation application. I used ample of oil free moisturizer then prime her face with a mattifying face primer for the rest of her skin.
Before the airbrush foundation application, I always begin applying correctors first mixed with concealers to hide imperfections of the client’s face. To even out the skin tone, I used two shades of OCC airbrush foundation. Grabbing the the lightest shade to highlight the highest point of her face and grabbing 1 to 2 steps darkest shade to scuplt her forehead, cheekbones, jawlines, noseline up to the eye contour.
I want to create sultry looking eyes; I used pencil technique and creamshadow technique to correct and reshape the eyes. Once you get the shape start building your eye shadow color starting from your transition, middle and your contour colors. When I say colors, I literally used several colors to achieved maximum depth and definitions. ( eye shadows used, lorac pro pallete, kryolan pro pallets, graftobian eye shadows)
For sultry finish, I picked a dark gel liner pencil top with black liquid pen for a more richer look. Coats and coats of mascara are applied after curling her lashes with Tweezerman Eyelashes curlers; I also applied falsies on her by cutting 1 into 2 as applying false lashes as may make her eyes more droopy. Bohktoh wing2 and Taiwan no8 were used as for her eyelashes.
Let’s not forget to contour the face and nose are for that instant painless nose lift and face lift!
As for the cheeks, I used kett airbrush blush top with apricot shade from kryolan blusher pallete.
As for the lips, I used two lip pencil in Detail to contour the lips applying liquid lipstick from Anastacia Beverly hills (forgot the name shade, sorry:)
Last but not the least, I set the area that could oil with a Graftobian HD Translucent Powder with Nyx mattifying setting spray.

I usually advice my bridal clients that I used Airbrush Makeup for weddings because of the benefits it can give to both parties. Well in a nutshell.. Airbrush makeup is a fine mist of foundation sprayed with a small compressor gently covering the skin to give the appearance of a flawless complexion.
Airbrush makeup can covers and last all day long. It is water resistant and will not smudge with light retouching. It can be applied to anyone even men. Its also hypoallergenic, sanitary and easy to use.

It’s another makeover day! I’ve done a lovely bride last July 16, Sunday. And i really enjoy being part of that exciting event.
Here’s my radiantly beautiful bride very pretty even in her prep makeup
Before and after: SYDNEY
Skin type : Normal / Dry Request: Fresh glowing bride ala Marian Rivera Bridal makeup
I did trial hair and makeup on her several weeks ago before the wedding. The makeup I’ve done for a trial is darker as compared to the day of her wedding. On her wedding day she opted for a lighter version of the makeup.
TrialMakeup
I started off preparing her skin for makeup by moisturizing dry areas around her skin and oil control primer at her T-zone. I also spot conceal redness that airbrush makeup may not cover. Then I used Occ and kett airbrush foundation going layer by layer to make sure her foundation is even.
I usually do contouring at the latter part of the makeover but for Airbrush, it comes next before the foundation application. When it comes to contouring using airbrush, layering is the key. It is very crucial not to apply too much as it is difficult to correct mishaps when you use airbrush makeup. I also contoured her nose using airbrush and included her chin are to create a slimmer silhouette.
I’ve decide to pick peachy pink eye shadow created an illusion of deeper set of eyes, of course, with the help of an eyeliner. Lashes were also used it will always look perfect on photos!
I airbrush a simple cool toned pink blush on the apples of her cheeks and matched her lip color.
