Keratin straightening and Fusion Extensions

Annette has been my client for several years and I love how natural the 4 colors I picked for her look. They blend in wonderfully with her natural hair.

The lovely bride, Heather on a beautiful and perfect day in the magical Cape May, NJ. I always enjoy doing wedding here especially on a crisp Fall day.

Judy's Makeup and Hair Trial

With just a teenie bit of primping with airbrushing and some natural curls, Judy is gorgeous!

Nina came to me after she had a bad experience with a  makeup trial. She said she looked ashy and felt like she couldn't move her face. She said they used airbrushing but didn't feel weightless at all. She is not used to wearing a lot of makeup. As you can see she has a beautiful complexion, but skin with more pigment can be challenging to an inexperienced makeup artist. Her wedding is in August and she doesn't want to feel like she has makeup on but needs it to stay in place. I told her airbrushing would and should feel weightless when done properly.

This is her after. She wanted the focus to be on her beautiful eyes and lips. Here she has makeup on to accentuate her gorgeous features without having to feel like she has a ton of makeup on. I talked her into the individual lashes which is just enough to make her eyes pop that much more. We are also adding extensions to add more length. That will give her a sexy glam but classic look on her wedding day! I can't wait to take pictures of that!

Chrissy's Wedding 6/29/12

The stunning bride Chrissy. Her romantic and retro side chignon with feathers relly complemented her gorgeous flowy gown. She normally doesn't wear any makeup and doesn't need to, but looks absolutely amazing with it on!

This is the beautiful Kim. Updos don't have to be tight and structured. They can be soft and romantic, which showed her beautiful jewelry off and not to mention much more comfortable on a hot and humid day.

 

Grace's Wedding 6/24/12

I met Grace several year ago when she was a bridesmaid for a wedding. Since she liked the way I did her hair and makeup for her friend's wedding, she hired me for hers. This is what I love about this business, so many opportunities to network! We decided against the tiara and went with the fresh flowers for the hair. It just looks so much more elegant and went along with her personality. I used airbrush makeup and individual lashes for a natural look. She looks gorgeous!!

Grace's pretty centerpieces made of orchids, peonies and roses that one of her bridesmaids created. Hopefully she will get her floral and event business going so I can work with her in the near future!

Melissa's Wedding

The beautiful Melissa. She was really fun to work with. Her gown was absolutely gorgeous and loved the birdcage to accessorize. Melissa's style was retro and wanted really dramatic makeup but obviously she still wanted to look like herself. She expressed having had to go to a few other makeup/hair trials that were not to her liking so I was honored when she booked with me!

Wendy's Wedding

Model Photo Shoot

Here is a shoot I did with a model and awesome photographer. Her eyes are really gorgeous and the lighting really captures this. I wanted to use warm colors to compliment her cool toned eyes. I also made a hair piece and incorporated it into her hair.

Wendy's Wedding 10/15/11

The beautiful bride Wendy. I really had a great time working with Wendy and her now sister-in-law, Maryrose. They are such great people. When I first met Wendy, I told her that she looks like an actress or model and I'm still trying to figure it out.

Wendy loved the way I did the hair for one of my previous brides. So I did a similar theme for her. I loved the hair piece she chose. It went beautifully with the gown. The great thing about this hairstyle is that when she takes it down tonight she will wake up with beautiful waves and airbrushed face to go with it!

Maryrose's hair. I wanted to continue the romantic theme so I did somewhat of an up/down do. Since she lives in FL, she gets her hair Japanese straightened but as you can see, her hair still curls beautifully.

Maryrose and I. I hope she doesn't kill me for putting this up, but I think she looks gorgeous here. Of course she does because I did her hair and makeup!

I have never met such warm and giving people. This wedding was a joy to do. Here is the infamous mocha cake from Christine's bakery that Maryrose gave me. How adorable is this?!

Deb's Wedding 9/22/11

Deb showed me a picture of what she wanted, and as always, I change it up and add my flair :) I added the overlapping pieces on the side. Her highlights compliment the style and really brings dimension to the final look.
