Before and After



This is my adorable friend and client, Ana. She was going to a wedding reception and asked me to do her hair and make-up. For her hair, I simply flat ironed and curled it. She always going big, with her natural curl, so I thought I'd try something new a more sleek on her. I loved the way it came out. For her make-up, I wanted her to look like she just got back from a refreshing trip to the spa. I wanted to wake her up a bit. Using the right concealer is key here. Also, adding some color to her face and really contouring her gorgeous cheekbones. She was a blast to work on and, as always, I think she looks gorgeous!
This is my sister-in-law, Katie. She was going out to a nice Christmas Party with her hubbie. I did both her hair and make-up. Katie has so much hair, so I wanted to really just curl it and tease it and give it some life. When hair is so long and heavy, this can often be tricky as it falls out so quickly. The best way to avoid that is by pinning the curls to let them cool, spray them like crazy and back comb not only the roots, but he curls themselves. For her make-up I wanted to make her beautiful blue eyes pop. I did this by enhancing her brows and doing long, dark lashes. I wanted to open her eyes and make them appear larger, so I didn't do much with the lower lash line. Katie doesn't usually wear a whole lot of make-up, so I wanted to keep her feeling comfortable by simply using a light glossy lip that she could easily retouch through out the night by herself.
