2015 in Full Force!

Happy New Year to my dear followers!

The past month and a half has been pure insanity.  With the holidays and New Year, my schedule has been jam packed and I am so humbled and grateful for such gracious clients who appreciate my craft.  Right after my NYE appointments, the new year brought on bridal previews for two gorgeous beauties who will be getting married in July & November.  They were super excited & pleased at the results - and I can't wait to get them dolled up for their big days!

I focused on creating a radiant & glowy complexion for Naoko.  How gorgeous are her brows?!

Linda wanted a smokey eye without looking overdone.  I focused on bringing out her beautiful, big eyes. Happy 2015!  Big things are coming & I can't wait to share them with all of you!

Bridal Glam at All Saints Church, Pasadena

I had the pleasure of working with Hera for her wedding this week at All Saints Church in Pasadena.  We had a hard time finding a place to set up that had adequate lighting, but everything worked out in the end.  She was so excited the whole time - it was absolutely refreshing to work on someone who was genuinely excited for a new chapter in her life :-). Congrats, Hera & Tyler! 

The radiant bride!

Hera's sweet mom was telling Thy & I about her 3 amazing daughters, 2 of which live in the Philippines. She was so happy with her makeup that she sent photos over to her daughters overseas!

January 2015 Wedding Bridal Makeup Preview

I had the pleasure of doing a bridal makeup preview for Jenny recently for her wedding in January 2015.  She is such a funny and chill bride and the best part was that she was not afraid to give me specific instructions on areas she wanted to change - One common thing that I see among brides is that they are so timid during the trial but end up complaining or make changes as the wedding date approaches.  Remember, a bridal makeup preview is a comprehensive review and effort to come up with the perfect look on a bride's wedding day, so honesty and clarity is key (and sometimes photos wouldn't hurt, either ;-) !

Makeup: Tina Tom Hair: Thy Nguyen

One thing that we are going to change for the day of the wedding is her lipstick - she requested a more nudey pink.  Her areas of concern were dark circles & redness around the nose.  Jenny was super happy with the outcome of her trial and loved her brows & contouring + eye makeup.  Her hair was done by Thy, a hairstylist that I team up with.  Can't wait to get her dolled up again January!
