Early last summer I had the
pleasure of doing bridal makeup for my gorgeous friend Alexcia. She definitely
made my job easy.
Her dress was beautiful with a sexy
edge to it, which was neither too much nor too little. Giving the perfect
balance of her personality. I felt as though her make up should complement her
dress, her personality and her special day. I went with a dark but romantic eye
look to really let her eyes a pop in wedding photos. I felt it was important to keep
the rest of her make up soft and neutral. It helped bring focus on her eyes. I
think the eyes were initially really dark for her preference but once she saw
the whole look come together, especially, in photos there's no denying her
husband is one lucky man!
One tip for brides these season would be to trust your makeup artist but please don't let them talk you into a look that
isn't you. There needs to be a balance. It is your day after all and we are
there to help make things easier for you. We know what looks best in
photographs and what is going to hold up throughout the day, however if you're
looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself then we have failed you. As
a makeup artist, we often get extremes when it comes to bridal makeup; either
too much or too little. It’s important to talk to your artist about what your expectations are, what your style is and your overall theme on your wedding
day. Together you’ll be able to come up with a look that suits your needs.
Below are some photos from her special day:
