MOTD: Bridal Makeup Jannett

I love doing bridal makeup and being part of a bride's special day.  Jannet contacted me 2 weeks ago regarding makeup for her wedding (she actually planned her wedding in 2 weeks!)  I always tell my brides to send me pictures of makeup styles that interest them. This really helps me get inspired and see what type of direction they would like to take.  Jannet was a super easy bride and I love the end results of her makeup.  Smokey eye, nude/pink lip perfect makeup for an evening wedding.

Here are the products that I used to create this look

• Embroylisse Lait-Crème Concentre moisturizer
• Whip Hand Cosmetics Set The Stage Makeup Primer
• Belletto Studio Airbrush Makeup Y3 Latte and Y4 Sweet Honey
• MAC Cosmetics NW25 under eye NC30 redness
• Smashbox Photo Finish 24 Hour Shadow Primer (THE BEST!)
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo Ebony
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Catwalk Palette (my go-to bridal palette)
• MAC White Frost / Nylon Shadow Highlight inner corner
• MAC Chromaline Black Black for top liner
• Urban Decay Cosmetics 47/7 Glide On Eye Pencil Zero
• MAC Peachykeen Blush
• MAC Angel Lipstick with Spice Lip Pencil

I wish I would have done these before and after makeups more! I totally regret not doing them during my whole makeup career.  Oh well here's to a new start!

MOTD Wedding Makeup Soft Smokey Eye

This was look was inspired by one of my upcoming brides.  I love the shimmer but yet soft smokey look that brings definition to the eyes for a bride. I always think of bridal makeup as the more glamorous you - pretty, romantic and still you.  This is what I love to do - working with the bride to make her feel beautiful and most importantly enjoy her special day.  Last year I was a bride and it was just a magical time to finally be the bride and not the makeup artist (but I did do my own makeup, more about that later).

Here's the list of products to achieve this look (please leave a comment below if you would like to see  a tutorial on this).

• L.A. Girl PRO Eye Shadow Primer in Nude
• Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette - Foxy (highlight), Bootycall (lid), Tease (crease and blended up), Pistol (outer half of lid) and YDK mixed with Blackout (outer corner to create smokey)
• Colourpop Super Shock Shadow I (Heart) This to create more shimmery to the lid and inner corner
• Get Lucky Super Shock Shadow smudged on the bottom inner half of the eye
