Lashious

So......everyone know how trendy lash extensions have become the biggest hit over the last couple of years. For poor sad lashes like mine, it was awesome to not have to use a curler or a million coats of mascara.
I literally have never bought the same mascara more than twice because I'm always on the hunt for the latest and greatest. My fav stands as Urban decays curling mascara. Now I'm getting off point! ..... What's not trendy? The price of lash extensions. The ever so amazing blog called The Beauty Department, posted an amazing tutorial on trio lashes. You can cut your own from a strip or buy the actual trios. you can customize them by trimming what you want and dont want off a strip. The are much easier than applying individual or strip lashes and offer a natural pop. They are only temporary but great if you want to up your look without the drama of falsies. Here's the link!!!!

Backyard beauty

This lovely lady, Jaimie is getting married in her own backyard! She isn't used to wearing makeup and has a simple Midsummer Nights Dream wedding color palette. I evened her near perfect and porcelain skin in Aveda's beechwood tinted moisturizer and set with their mineral loose powder. Normally i don't recommend makeup that has SPF in it because it doesn't work well with flash photography, but a lot of photographers end up using Lightroom instead of flash since its used mainly at night and used in a more outdated style of photography. Next, Aveda has great blush/bronzer trios that are everyday user friendly and really natural. also used the twilight trio palette on her lids with Aura in the crease. Her gorgeous lips were perfected with their lip gloss, Coral. We tried a simple false strip lash instead of mascara to keep it natural. She loved it! Her hair was done in a loosely pinned side swept up-do, to let her stunning one shouldered wedding gown steal the show. Can't wait to doll her up on her big day in just three weeks!!
