Makeup for Ira

I had the opportunity to do makeup for one of the most easy going brides a few weeks ago while I was in Indonesia.  You HAVE to love a girl who starts off her wedding day by eating a huge tiramisu cake for breakfast.  Fabulous much??  After filling her tummy with tiramisu and some Indonesian noodles, the bride was ready to get her makeup done.  Ira opted for pink lips for the ceremony...

....and then red lips for the reception

A few more pictures from the big day:

Makeup for Nicole: Sexy Vampire

Ok so I've been a little remiss about posting Halloween makeup tutorials.  I may be the only person out there who isn't into Halloween...but after doing Nicole's makeup, well, I may now be a convert.  Unfortunately by the time I finished her makeup, the sun had gone down and these were the best photos I was able to take of her "after" poses.  

Aren't those contacts amazing?

I kid you not, those fangs were homemade by her SO

Makeup for Ashley: Homecoming

Before

After

It's Homecoming season and I couldn't be more thrilled when asked to do Ashley's makeup.  She was part of her Homecoming Court as Princess so some fabulousness is required.  Ashley wanted a very soft natural look, which was very easy to give her because this girl has gorgeous, healthy, and radiant skin.   I wanted to let the natural glow of her skin shine through to enhance her youthful beauty.
