Julie isn’t the type to wear much makeup on an everyday basis, and keeping that in mind, I went for the natural look for both ceremonies.
For Julie’s Friday ceremony, we decided to leave her hair down with one side pulled and pinned with a fragrant gardenia behind her ear. I used light taupe and ivory shades on her eyes along with cool toned pink blush and lips. The simple elegance of her hair and makeup offset the clean lines of her gown and suited her intimate garden ceremony.

For Saturday’s large Indian celebration, I styled Julie’s hair in a soft updo enhanced with traditional Indian jewelry, and balanced a stronger red lip with neutral eyes and individual false eyelashes.
I just got the photos from the boudoir shoot I did with Mimi Nguyen and Toni a few weeks ago, and they are beyond amazing! Mimi has such a great eye, and she is really good at directing her subjects and making them feel at ease. Toni was so sweet and fun to work on; she confided that it was her first time getting her makeup professionally done, and that the shoot was a surprise for her fiance. She asked if I do brows too, and luckily I had my tweezers and brow trimming scissors with me to do a bit of clean up and shaping. 
Also, since her hairstylist wasn’t able to make it, I did her hair using a 1.25″ ceramic curling iron for tousled sexy curls, finished with bumble & bumble Spray de Mode before and after curling, for flexible hold.
