Lynne’s stunning Houston wedding : dramatic makeup & glamorous updo

13 Dec

Meet Lynne, my sweet Houston bride that’s got a heart of gold and the bone structure of a mythical goddess. I mean, seriously, this Southern belle turned pageant queen could have walked down the aisle sans-makeup and hair a muck and she still would have glowed… but lucky for me, I had the awesome opportunity to spend the day with her in Houston for her big “I Do” to her sweet hubby Cale.

Lynne’s pretty olive skin and dark hair called for smoldering bronzy-brown eyes, an apricot cheek and sun kissed lips. We topped off her classic glam look with a delicate, slightly tousled pompadour undo.

Kaity’s Wedding Day Look {Soft, Romantic, Natural}

19 Oct

Kaity & Matt tied the knot on August 14th at TCU’s Robert Carr Chapel in Fort Worth.

Kaity is a natural beauty with beautiful porcelain skin and delicate features. We wanted to play that up by keeping everything really soft, romantic and natural. Kaity wanted to look and feel like herself on her wedding day, not overdone, just effortlessly glamorous!

Soft pearl, beige and grey on the eyes, a subtle peachy-pink on her cheeks and a pretty coral-pink lipstick (to compliment her killer coral shoes!) made up Kaity’s gorgeous, glowing bridal look.

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!

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.

bridals {susan}

17 Apr

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.
