Nikki's Bridal Shower Makeup ~ September 2013

My gorgeous friend Nikki looking all glowy and pretty for her casual Bridal Shower :) No filter because she is obviously gorgeous.... Her eyes just POP with those lashes! For this look, I used individual lashes with short in the center and fanning out to longer at the edge of the eye. She had a fantastic day and I felt so lucky to be the one making her feel pretty.

Cutest Client Ever~ Riley~ July 2013

This client Riley is sooooo cute! Had to share :)

Ophelia~ Mother of the Bride~July 2013

Ophelia came in wanting a naturally pretty look to enhance her beautiful eyes for her son's wedding. She's a very natural beauty and we did not want to hide her behind a shield of makeup and hair. She loved her look and felt confidant at her son's big day. That warms my heart.  :)

Here she is with no filter. Filters aren't fair.

Badgley Mischka/ Enzoani Bridal Show June 2013

 Thanks to my friend and co-worker, Selina Lopez I was able to take part in a fantastic Bridal Couture show put on by some VERY talented designers. Badgley Mischka were hailed by Vogue as one of the "Top 10 American Designers" and were such a pleasure to work with! Enzoani frequents covers of Bridal Magazines and an Enzoani dress was chosen as Kristin Stewart's wedding dress in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1. So needless to say, I felt so lucky to be there! We were directed to refrain from taking any pictures of the work, but here's a few we snuck in  ;)

Vintage Bride~Lauren~June 2013

I love this girl! She's hilarious and I had so much fun goofing around with her on her big day. Lauren had an intimate, traditional wedding in San Juan Capistrano and wanted the traditional feel of the hair all up, yet with modern detailing. She made a perfect bride

Everyday Pretty Hair ~Candice~ May 2013

I wanted to post an example of beautiful everyday hair. My client Candice has some of the strongest, healthiest hair I have ever seen. She has gone from black to platinum to red to brown and looks great with it all!! This is one of my favorite looks on her. She wanted a warm brown with cool highlights and I think we achieved it nicely. To keep your hair healthy like Candice's after color changes, make sure to deep condition with a mask once a week!

Stunning Crimson Red April 2013 Virginia

How gorgeous is this stunning red on Virginia?! We took her from black to crimson this day. I just LOVE this color on her and her shiny, pretty hair wears it so well!! No filter of course! 

When going red, please keep in mind sulfates strip your hair color, so I always recommend a sulfate- free gentle shampoo, such as Bumble and Bumble's Color Minded line. Long Live Color!

Bridal shower hair and makeup Brigitte March 2013

How pretty is this bride-to-be and gal pal of mine, Brigitte? This is a ridiculous photo of me, so my apologies! We were't being too professional that day... 

Always fun playing hair and makeup on this beauty.
