COREY'S BIG DAY: FLAWLESS, BEAUTIFUL, SULTRY

This is a little late, but better late than never. We met Corey and her bridal party in April. Check her out, she's gorgeous!

I received a call on the RED line one Friday afternoon. A dear friend (Brooke Ryan) was taking over her friend’s beauty plans for the wedding day. Corey is a confident girl that had yet to find confidence in the craftsmanship of a makeup artist -- that's when they contacted me.

A lovely girl with flawless skin and perfect features such as Corey wants to look at her wedding photo’s 20, 30, 40 years from now and see her beauty, not the makeup. I was more than honored to deliver just that!

Nicole and I did a subtle eye yet sultry eyes since it was a late afternoon wedding. Charleston had yet to be overwhelmed with humidity so primer was not a must, but mineral powder a given. To achieve the classic clean look of this romance meets relaxed day was a breeze. Trish McEvoy Eye Base Essential in Sand, High Volume Mascara in black (as if there were any other appropriate color) Bronze shimmer powder with a touch of Peony blush high on the apples of the cheek, and a swish of Irrestible Petal lip gloss on her lips completed the perfect, NATURAL, and flawless bride!!!!

One of the most overlooked aspects of doing wedding makeup is the reward of making those who are important to this day look and feel important. I created a look for sister Kylie, bridesmaids Jenny and Brooke, and Corey’s mother-in-law that did not overpower the bride, but made them feel and look as beautiful as the special day. Makeup for the bridal party needs to stay put and be worry free. That’s where Trish McEvoy primer and beauty booster serum is your best friend. (Check previous blog post.)

FOUR woman and one pencil! Essential Pencil in Nude, which is customized with the appropriate gloss for the individual guest.
