Bridal Makeup - Ryan and Claire's Wedding

Last month I was hired to do Claire's wedding makeup for her and her bridal party. Claire wanted soft smokey eyes with long, full lashes. Lucky for me, Claire has beautiful flawless skin so her makeup was easy to do!

What I used...
Face
- EMBRYOLISSE lait creme lotion
- RCMA foundation palette
- Model in a Bottle setting spray
- MALLY BEAUTY shimmer shape and glow

Eyes

- MAC brule eyeshadow

- MAC soft brown eyeshadow

-MAC cork eyeshadow
-MODEL lashes T2

-MAC espresso eyeshadow

-MAC brown down eyeshadow

-URBAN DECAY Naked palette
- BOBBI BROWN caviar ink gel liner
- CLINIQUE lash power mascara
-EVE PEARL salmon concealer
Lips
- lip balm
- OCC memento liptar

I also did makeup on the bridesmaids and mother of the bride. I don't recall exactly what colors I used, but soft brown by MAC is a definite must have for bridal parties!

I had a blast with this wedding party. Everyone was so welcoming and sweet. I was so comfortable with the environment and it helped that Claire was far from bridezilla! Congratulations to the newly weds Ryan and Claire!

Senna Cosmetics: The Envelope

I got the Senna Cosmetics Brights Envelope from the I.M.A.T.S. in Pasadena. The first thing that intrigued me of this palette was that it was different from the other pallets out there. Not only did it include eye shadows, there are also six blushes and two face powders! YOWZAAA!!!

So I walked up to their booth and the Senna Cosmetics representative was sweet and welcoming. I was astonished by the price she told me... $50! What a steal! The lady said the Envelope is a $405 value, and the price at the store is $100. So I just had to get this!! The bronzer on the brights envelope sold me! Check it out!

The two lighter colors can be used as highlighters as well.

There are a few features about the palette that I adore. First off, there is a mirror that is just about the size for the palette, humongo! And guess what, the palette has magnetized refillable slots! I can even put my MAC eyeshadows in here if I wanted. The palette also comes with a connected plastic sheet to prevent your shadows and blushes from dusting all over the place.

After using the envelope this past month I realized that I WANT MORE! The color payoff is simply amazing. I can honestly say that these are my favorite eye shadows next to MAC. There is however a downside. The eye shadows can get powdery. I pat my brush into it and the next thing I know, i've created a mess! Not too powdery, but you can probably tell from this picture.

The size of the palette is larger than the typical. Here is a comparison to the MAC palettes.

I tried my best with the swatch shot! I never realized how hard it is with these many swatches! I had to angle my arm in a weird position for this. Lol. I used MAC's "ground works" paint pot as a base.

Anyhoooo, thats all I got to say about that! I adore my new palette, or...Envelope! I have my eye on the "Neutral" Envelope. I'm sure i'll be using a lot more of those colors on an everyday basis :D

OHH and how can I forget... The price for this palette is $50 on the website!!!!!!!!! I thought I got that deal just because I was at the Makeup show!!!!! but I just checked the website and its half off. I don't know if this is just a promotional deal or what. All i know is that you can get it for $50 yourself! Enjoy!!!

Roselle's Wedding!

My homegirl back from highschool found through myspace that I do freelance. A few months ago she asked me if I can do her makeup for her wedding and of course I jumped to the opportunity! Last Saturday the bridal party was getting ready at Roselle's mother's home. I also provided makeup for the brides maids, maid of honor, grandma, and mother of the bride. I remember asking Roselle what her theme colors were and she said red and black. My first thought was FIERCE!! The brides maids looked hot! Here are pics of the event.
