Makeup for Shirley

As I was going through the drafts portion of my blog to see which posts I need to finish, I was shocked to find that I never published the makeup I did for Shirley on her wedding day.  Mea Culpa to me for such oversight!  Without further ado then!

By the time I was almost done applying foundation and concealer to her face, I remembered I hadn't yet taken a before picture.

If any bride can rock leopard print on her Big Day in a stylish yet feminine way, it'd be Shirley.  This Cross Fit Merge superstar agreed to marry her sweetheart of 18 years when he popped the question in Italy!  Tres romantique, oui?

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.
