weddings

Good day fabulous people!!

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.
