Files From the Brow Whisperer

It's the start of summer wedding season & nothing pulls a bride or the bridal party together more than getting your brows done!

For this bridesmaid we didn't do anything crazy, but cleaned up her brows for a more streamlined look.  If you are going to have your make-up professionally done for an event, I always suggest getting your brows waxed at least 3 days prior.  We exfoliate the skin where ever we apply the wax- so you don't want a different skin texture on various areas of the face when getting a make-up application. Hope you have a happy weekend Beauties!

Peace. Love. Brow Whisperer. M

Beautiful Bride

I have the privilege of working with a lot of brides on their big day, often they become friends along the way. Such is the case with this past weekend's bride. Heidi made the most exquisite bride, because she is beautiful both inside & out! We wanted to enhance her peaches & cream complexion, with the main focus being on her eyes.

I love it when a bride says she want to go for it- in this case she really wanted to play up her eyes. Paul & Joe's Eye Gloss #2 put the spotlight on her gorgeous blue peepers with Ardell strip lashes & classic cake liner kicking things up that extra notch.

The dress, which she found in Chicago had the most luxe vintage feel, as if it were straight out of Great Gatsby.

The bride ready to head to the church- she was stunning!

The bouquet smelled heavenly due to jasmine.

Our table seatings were attached on the bride's new last initial.

Some of her fabulous bridesmaids complete with soft, natural make-up. The bride let her bridesmaids chose whatever black dress they wanted- I love that idea because everyone's shape is so different!

Stealing a moment with the bride to reapply gloss!

The groom & yours truly on the dance floor!

Her delicious cake filled with fresh strawberries & cream.

Here the bride is in her second dress working it on the white runway, with her bridesmaids bringing up the rear! This bride loves a dance runway- if you remember, she had a pink one at her Girls' Night Out Party .

All of the guests received a french vanilla sweet treat encrusted with gold sanding sugar from Tres Bon Bons that featured a letterpress tag.

There were so many amazingly thoughtful touches & details throughout the wedding, they're too many to mention! As guests received their cars from valet- this sweet farewell adieu hung from my rear view mirror. I was so honored to be a part of her big day, from start to finish!

Memorial Day Weekend

Phew! Where did the holiday weekend go? I was up in Connecticut for my cousin's wedding. I had the privilege of doing his bride's make-up & will post on that when I have better pics!

The flowers were done by the bride's aunt & were stunning. Fuschia & white peonies were everywhere!

Here are just some of my great cousins- Henry & Jenna after dancing most of the night away. My dad is one of five boys, so we take over when we come in to town!




I was having my hair done while doing the bride's make-up & was shocked that it had held up so well after all the dancing. This pic was the first time I had seen it, I had been in such a rush the whole day. I thought it looked really classic. Tell me beauties, what did you do over the weekend? Did you get a chance to relax?

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
