Hannah & Dave's Summer Wedding

Hannah was such a lovely bride to work with, she had the most gorgeous, sparkling eyes and such a warm smile. We went for a classic, bright-eyed look accented with lots of fluttery lashes.

Stephanie & Jon's Snow Sprinkled Wedding

Stephanie was looking for classic bridal makeup to compliment her stunning dress and timeless sense of style. We went for a mostly matte eye and a feminine rosy lip that paired well with the soft pinks of her bridesmaids' gowns. Even though the wedding was during the last weekend of March with the forecast clear, Connecticut decided to surprise us with snow flurries, leading to some wintery romantic pictures captured by Eric Brushett Photography.

Rachael & Steve's Beach Engagement

When I met Rachael early this spring for her makeup trial, I was immediately drawn to her sweet, bubbly personality and gorgeous blue eyes! She told me that she was obsessed with flirty eyelashes, so we based her look around some customized falsies and a beautiful smoky liner.

Tina & Devon's Wedding

I had so much fun making up Tina for her elegant winter wedding! She chose a classic matte eye paired with beautiful rosy lips, a perfect combination for a crisp February day. I layered a light  traditional foundation base underneath the airbrushing to create a silky smooth canvas that lasts all night long. She was a glowing bride inside and out, and her wonderful bridal party were so much fun to work on!

Warm Browns with a Pop of Blue

This look is a fun way to add a pop of color into an otherwise neutral shadow combination. Vibrant blues always make the eyes look bright and rested, but it is a wearable enough color to try for work or school. The cool blue juxtaposed against the warm brown shadows create interest and spark, making it the perfect easy look for summer.

Special Event & Bridal Makeup

This makeup look is simple to re-create and is perfect for any special occasion or for a bride on her wedding day! It uses all neutral shades and has a delicate sculpting in the outer portion of the eye. This sculpting technique adds drama without being too dark or overwhelming, and can be done with any color combination. For the entire eye look, I used Stila's Eyes Are The Window 'Spirit' Palette. The shadows are super versatile and extremely easy to blend. The palette is also very compact, perfect if you are looking for something to travel with.

Purple and Gold Eyes

Deep purples look great on everybody, and they are one of the easiest colors to experiment with if you are looking to try something other than basic neutrals. I combined the purple tones with a bright pop of champagne-gold to keep the look from being too dark, and I only shaded the outer corners of the eyes to give them a large and cat-like effect. If bright colors aren't your thing, try this elongated shadow shape in tans and browns!
