Destination Wedding Makeup: Glam for Every Event!

September 25, 2024

Destination weddings are the perfect blend of adventure, celebration, and romance — and as a bridal makeup artist, I know that each event leading up to the big day deserves its own unique glam! Whether it's a beachside ceremony or a luxurious resort celebration, I'm here to make sure your makeup is flawless, fun, and picture-perfect for every single event.

Let's talk about all the fabulous moments where glam is key!

1. Rehearsal Dinner Glow-Up ✨
The rehearsal dinner kicks off the wedding festivities, and you want to look your best! This is the perfect time to go for a slightly elevated, yet natural glam look. Think: soft, glowing skin, defined eyes, and a pop of color on the lips. You’re mingling with close family and friends, so you want to look radiant without overshadowing the wedding day itself. 💫

Pro tip: Time is everything! Allot at least 60-90 minutes to ensure you get a gorgeous, stress-free look without rushing.

2. Welcome Party Glam 💃
Welcome dinners (or parties!) are where the real fun begins. You’ve arrived at the destination, the vibes are high, and it’s time to celebrate. For this event, I love to create a look that's a little more daring or fun — maybe a sultry bronze eye to complement a tropical setting, or a bold lip to match your vibrant outfit. 🌺

To keep things organized, it's important to plan out hair and makeup early in the day, especially if your welcome party is scheduled around sunset. I always recommend booking 90 minutes for your makeup to ensure we can perfect every detail.

3. Big Day Bridal Glam 👰
This is the moment we've all been waiting for! The wedding day is all about making you feel like the best version of yourself. Depending on your style, we can go for timeless elegance, romantic soft glam, or a radiant, natural look that highlights your beauty in every shot. The key here is coordination — we’ll need to schedule time for both makeup and any touch-ups throughout the day, especially as you move from ceremony to reception.

Typically, bridal makeup takes 90-120 minutes to allow for everything from perfect skin prep to final touches. And don't forget your bridal party! We’ll organize their makeup looks to complement yours while keeping the morning fun and smooth.

4. Post-Wedding Brunch Beauty ☕️
Who says the glam stops after the wedding? The post-wedding brunch is another chance to look fresh and fabulous. After all, you’ll be greeting family and friends and reliving the best moments from the night before. For this, a light, fresh look is ideal — think glowing skin, soft eyes, and a hint of lip color.

Even for a casual brunch, you deserve to feel your best, so make sure to schedule a quick 45-60 minute session to get ready.

Let’s Make It Fun and Flawless! 🎉
For a destination wedding, timing and organization are key! Each event requires its own unique vibe, and having a well-thought-out beauty timeline ensures everything goes smoothly and that you enjoy every moment without worrying about the details. We’ll work together to plan out every look, so all you have to do is sit back, sip a mimosa, and get pampered. 🥂

Whether you're planning a sun-kissed beach wedding or a sophisticated celebration abroad, your destination wedding glam should be fun, flawless, and perfectly timed. Ready to create unforgettable looks for every event? Let’s start planning your dream wedding beauty experience!

Mom and Daughter Wedding Day Moments!

September 5, 2024

There’s something truly special about a mother and daughter on a wedding day, and as a bridal makeup artist, I get a front-row seat to those precious moments. It’s not just about the makeup—it’s about the love, the memories, and that unspoken bond between them. ✨💖

The Magic of the Wedding Day

From the second I start working on the mother-of-the-bride, there’s this beautiful mix of nostalgia and excitement. Whether it’s a teary-eyed look as the bride’s mother watches her daughter prepare for the biggest moment of her life, or a shared laugh over an old family memory, the emotions are always high and heartfelt. I love being there to enhance their natural beauty and create a soft glam look that brings out their best. 💄🌸

The Special Moments I Live For

One of my favorite parts of the day? That final moment when I finish the bride’s makeup and hand her the mirror. Her mom’s eyes light up, sometimes filling with tears, just a special experience . It’s these emotional, beautiful moments that remind me why I love what I do. #BridalMakeupMagic #MotherDaughterLove

Bride-to-Be

If you’re a bride-to-be, you understand how important these small, meaningful moments are. You want someone who not only gives you a flawless bridal look but also treasures the emotions and connections you share with the ones you love. 💞💍

Searching for a bridal makeup artist who understands the magic of your big day? I’m here to help you and your loved ones look and feel your best, making sure you shine inside and out! #WeddingDayGlow #SoftGlamPerfection #MakeupThatMatters

In the end, it’s not just makeup—it’s being part of a story, and I’m so honored to be a part of yours. 💖 #BridalBeauty #MakeupForMoms #HereComesTheBride

Why Soft Magnetic Lashes Are the Ultimate Game-Changer for Natural Beauty Lovers!

August 29, 2024

Hey, lash lovers! 👀💖 Let’s talk about one of the hottest beauty trends that’s sweeping the world: soft magnetic lashes! If you’re someone who’s not a fan of lash glue, has sensitive eyes, or just wants a hassle-free lash option that still looks gorgeous, then magnetic lashes might be your new best friend. Let’s dive into why these beauties are an awesome option for anyone looking to enhance their natural look with ease. 💄✨

Say Goodbye to Lash Glue Drama

For those who can’t stand the sticky mess of lash glue (and let’s be real, who enjoys it?), soft magnetic lashes are a total game-changer. No more worrying about irritation or smudging—just pop these lashes on, and you’re good to go! Plus, if you’re sensitive to traditional lash glue, magnetic lashes are a much gentler alternative that won’t leave your eyes feeling itchy or irritated. You don’t even have to deal with mascara if you don’t wish to! Mascara is optional!

#NoMoreLashGlue #GentleBeauty

Lightweight and Natural-Looking

These lashes are perfect for brides or anyone who loves the soft, natural look of lightweight lashes. They’re designed to blend seamlessly with your natural lashes, giving you that fluttery, effortless glam without the heaviness. Whether you’re going for a barely-there look or something a bit more dramatic, magnetic lashes have got you covered! #NaturalGlam #EffortlessBeauty

Reusable and Budget-Friendly

Here’s the cherry on top: soft magnetic lashes are reusable! That’s right—these beauties can be worn up to 70 times and last up to 6 months with proper care. Talk about getting your money’s worth! Not only do they save you time and hassle, but they’re also a budget-friendly option that will keep you looking fabulous for months to come. #BudgetBeauty #ReusableLashes

Magnetic Lashes for Sensitive Eyes

Looking for a lash solution that’s easy to use, gentle on your eyes, and looks stunning? Soft magnetic lashes are the answer! Discover why they’re the perfect choice for beauty lovers and anyone who wants a natural, hassle-free lash experience. 👀💖 #MagneticLashes #LashLove #SoftGlam

So, if you’re ready to ditch the glue and embrace a soft, natural lash look that’s budget-friendly and reusable, give soft magnetic lashes a try. Your eyes (and wallet) will thank you! 😉💄 Wosado Lashes are the ones featured in my Video Above. I have on a natural looking pair on the right side and a more dramatic pair on my left side for a comparison. 3 seconds to put on and 1 second to take off. #LashGoals #BeautyHacks #WeddingDayGlam

When Friends (or Co-Workers!) Choose Makeup the Bride – It’s an Extra Special Honor!

August 20, 2024

Makeup the Bride and Adeena

Hey there, beautiful brides, brides to be and friends! 💍✨ As a bridal makeup artist, I love every moment of helping brides look and feel their best on their special day. But, let me tell you a little secret: When a friend, co-worker, or someone I know in the wedding industry chooses me as their bridal makeup artist, it feels like a double honor! My bride Adeena shown above is a hair artist and I have worked on many weddings with her.

Unexpected Honor

Honestly, I never expect friends or co-workers to choose me for their big day as much as I may wish that. I know how personal the wedding planning process is, and I’m always cheering them on whether I’m doing their makeup or not. But when someone close to me or a fellow wedding industry pro reaches out for my services, it feels like the ultimate compliment. 🥰 #BridalMakeupArtist #HonoredAndGrateful

Going Above and Beyond

Of course, I go above and beyond for every bride I work with—creating that perfect soft glam look and ensuring they feel like the best version of themselves. But there’s something a little extra special about doing makeup for someone who has seen my work up close. Whether they’re a fellow vendor or a friend, knowing that they trust me to be part of their big day gives me all the warm fuzzies. 💄💖 #BridalBeautyExpert #WeddingIndustryLove

Choosing the Right Bridal Makeup Artist

Choosing your bridal makeup artist is a big decision, and if you’re lucky enough to know one personally, it’s even more special. Ready to book your dream artist? Let’s make your wedding day glow together! 🌟 #BridalMakeupServices #WeddingDayGlow #MakeupMagic

So, to my brides who also happen to be friends or fellow wedding pros—thank you. It’s always an honor, and I’m truly grateful to be part of your special day. 💍✨ #GratefulArtist #WeddingDayBeauty
