Photoshoot {Phantom of the Opera}

I am LOVING these seriously haute images I just received from a photo shoot I did makeup and hair for last week! Inspired by the classic, Phantom of the Opera and shot at the historic Majestic Theater in downtown Dallas.

Our beautiful model (and actual bride-to-be) took on the leading role with soft matte eyes in a neutral peach, glam false lashes loaded with mascara, fierce eyebrows and a vampy, plum-red lipstick that stole the show!

WED {Claire}

29 May

Claire & Jason said “I Do” in a glamorous ceremony at the beautiful Piazza in the Village on Thursday, April 19, 2012.

Claire’s gorgeous olive complexion looked even more stunning with the airbrush and her dark eyes sparkled with a heavy metallic greige and brown smokey eye. Pair that with peachy-bronze cheek bones and a nude-mauve lip and she was ready to walk down the aisle!

{Mrs. Claire George}

This wedding was especially meaningful to me because it was my second wedding for this family. Last summer, I was the makeup artist for Claire’s sister-in-law, Jessica {seen at Jessica’s wedding here}.

Meaningful and bittersweet. As a makeup artist, I get to spend the most important, special and celebrated day of a family’s life with them, and because of that, I get to really know a family. Shortly after Claire’s wedding, her wonderfully sweet and loving mom, Patricia, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. I will always remember Mrs. Pena as one of my favorite (and kindest) mother-of-the-bride clients … she just loved her false eyelashes and getting made up! And I had the good fortune of having her in my chair not just once, but twice.

{in loving memory & honor of Mrs. Patricia Pena}

stop it. get out. i can’t even take it. i literally just died when (the fabulous, crazy-talented) Brandi Burkett {of Brandy Burkett Photography} sent me these photos.

susan & brad tied the knot this past weekend at her parents amazing home nestled in the piney woods of east texas – the same location where these photos were taken.

prepare to swoon.

susan wanted dark, dramatic eyes with soft, glowing skin and glossy pink lips. since her ceremony & reception were outside, i didnt want to do anything too heavy, so we created a gorgeous smokey eye using navy blue and emerald-green, in lieu of black and grey.

see the entire shoot here.

bridals {EB}

10 Apr

elegant. romantic. exquisite.

EB completely embodied the classic, glamorous bride … and with that flawless complexion and those striking cheek bones, she was the perfect canvas. EB wanted to play up her naturally porcelain skin tone with dramatic matte eyes and a faint berry cheek. She came to me totally against lip color, but I managed to talk her into a beautiful nude-pinkish-mauve shade of matte lipstick (that she loved so much she went out and bought for herself)! We finished the look with corner falsies and voila!
