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but a lot of photographers end up using Lightroom instead of flash since its used mainly at night and used in a more outdated style of photography.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!!

Vineyard nuptials

I had the honor of working for Alicia Tullio for her beautiful nuptials as the Faulkner winery in Temecula.
Alicia is a natural beauty and very low key with her daily makeup. She had the most adorable freckles, whih her hisband loves so we wanted to let those shine theough. We kept her look soft and light and went with Stila's amazing liquid hd foundation. Her gorgeous big brown eyes we accented in Urban Decays Smog. And we gave her a slight winged liner and topped her with a taupe pink lip. Muah!
