Summer Brides!

Ever wonder why “Bridal Makeup” is more expensive than a normal makeup application?  Here I answer this question for a future bride:

“…also, is there any functional difference between Makeup Application under “Individual Services” versus “Bridal Services”? I know that everyone charges more for bridal, but I’m just curious. The “functional” difference between a Bridal Application and a regular Individual Service is the time and attention to detail it takes to do bridal makeup.  The bridal applications tend to be more stressful, take place on-location and require more steps in the applications for longevity.  The planning and time spent on emails/communication, invoicing and customizing schedules are “hidden” hours that I do myself and can add up to hours of work before I even pick up a brush.  I also offer each bride a sample of the custom blended lipstick for touch-ups, airbrush foundation along with complimentary lashes.” 

 

I am now booking for Summer 2013.  Hurry before all time slots are full!

Whitney’s Magical Wedding!

Can it get any more magical than this? I do not believe it can. From the fairytale house that Whitney and her wedding party rented in Wimberly to the venue: Old Glory Ranch , Julie Wilhite captured the spirit and joy of this special day.

Whitney does not wear much makeup as she works in a hospital most of the time, so she wanted something pretty but understated.  For the trial, we did a very light natural look using pinks and browns but when it came to her wedding day, Whitney decided to go for a bit of a bolder look with cranberry’s and deep burgundy shadow.

It was such a pleasure spending the day with Whitney as she has a calm nature and sweet demeanour which Julie was able to capture in these images. Look for the one just after the “first look”, her groom is caressing her face; he loved how she looked!

Whitney’s bridesmaids were a dream to work with as well (all so pretty!) but my favorite moment was meeting her mother, Misa.  We bonded over our similar but unusual names and I am counting on a lasting friendship.

You can see the entire post HERE to have a peek at what a fairytale-come-true really looks like! (even to the very end… hair may not have lasted all night but notice the flawless makeup in the departure pictures. I love my job!)
