In my opinion fall is the most romantic time to get married. With the crisp air, the leaves changing colors and Indian summers…
I have to say this past weekend was such a pleasure to makeup up Courtney, her sisters, mom and maid of honor. I will share some pics and tips of the makeup used. Also, all hair is styled by one of my partners at Groom the Bride, Amber H.
The Bride wanted to look natural, she rarely uses makeup so we went with natural yet elegant look. On her eyes I used a cream taupe color, topped it with loose powder beige/gold and blended them so the look was fresh yet polished. Now she still needed some definition which was achieved by individual lashes and waterproof black mascara and applying brow powder. Cheeks are a pink-gold and the lips are stained pink to enhance her natural pigment, lastly a layer of gloss.
The Maid of Honor’s makeup was also simple yet more bold in the choice of color, due to her amazing Sienna colored dress..I used all Sienna colors on her eyes in addition to gold, a warm peach on her cheeks and lips.
Bride’s Older Sister wore a chocolate brown dress and the brunette beauty was also easy to enhance. Her eye shadow colors were peach, camel and of course chocolate brown to sculpt and define. The cheeks color was a warm shade of pink/brown and I used a natural stain on her lips also.
Bride’s Younger Sister looked like a china doll when she was done, light skin and dark curly hair added to that fact. Also, a lover of makeup we played her eyes up with gold and bronze shadows and lined her eyes with teal and stained her lips a plum shade.
Mother of the Bride, well she may as well have been a sister with her looks! Her makeup palette was chosen to match her champagne dress and amethyst earrings. A matte champagne on the entire eye, chocolate in crease to define and a beautiful purple liner, plus individual lashes and mascara. Cheek color was a warm peach and the lips stained with a shear burgundy color.
All in all the wedding party was flawless, elegant and beautiful. The sun broke through the clouds just as they were leaving for the ceremony. A perfect fall day.
