Bridal Make-up – Christy: May 5, 2012

I spent the morning of Cinco de Mayo at Salon Trisse doing the make-up for a gorgeous bride named Christy.  When we did her trial the previous Thursday, she let me know she wanted to do a smoky eye but more charcoal than brown.  I started pulling out the things I would need and then she told me about her dress.

It was ivory and had lavender beading.

Someone with such style and flair deserved better than a regular old smoky eye in blacks and grays!  She has beautiful brown eyes and lovely skin, so I knew she could pull off a deep purple.  Also, she needed extra long lashes.  While she got her hair done, I pulled out all the tools.

When we were finished, she looked flawless…

I'm still swooning over her cheek bones!  I would kill for them.

As always, I took her out in direct and indirect sunlight too.

Christy’s bridesmaids did their own makeup, but I just had to post the work that the two stylists, Chaunah Macewicz and Ryan Lannon, did.

The final bridesmaid had quite a bit of hair and wanted it pulled up.  I watched this style being done from almost the beginning and was amazed at Chaunah's artistry.

Each one of the curls was spun and pinned up individually.

Look at the height at her crown with the curls tucked in neatly underneath.

 And the swoop of the bangs is divine.
