Before and after: Boudoir makeup

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

I had so much fun doing makeup and hair at Toni’s boudoir session earlier this week (in collaboration with the fabulous Mimi of Mimi Nguyen Photography). I especially love boudoir makeup because it gives me an excuse to do smoky eyes, which are my favorite (you can ask any of my friends). Toni is naturally gorgeous, which made my job really easy. I played up her eyes with shimmery pink, bronze and charcoal eyeshadow, lots of black liner and lush lashes. Soft pink cheeks and lips completed the look. 

Doesn’t she look stunning? :) I will upload Mimi’s pics when they are available. I know they will be absolutely amazing!
