It’s Jessica’s turn to be a bride this upcoming Saturday and I’m so excited to recreate this beautiful makeup look that we did for her wedding shower!

Jessica had concerns about her makeup not lasting because of the oils she produces but we took care of that! We also opted for some individual lashes to give a bit of volume but still look very natural. I love how radiant she looks!

What’s everyone’s thoughts??

Wowza, am I right!? Love the dark lip on this bridesmaid. Everyone usually chooses a nude colour for the lips because it’s the safest and more comfortable go to but…there is something so gorgeous about a darker lip. Give it a try the next time you get your makeup done, you might be surprised ✨

Brides; you definitely need to think about your makeup in relation to photography. Depending on how your photographer edits their photos your makeup can look significantly different than it does in person or when taking a selfie! Just something to consider. If you have any questions or concerns, you know the drill, shoot me an email or DM and we can discuss further ✨

CLIENT REVIEW 💍

“Desiree is everything you dream about when you imagine your makeup artist on your big day. She is amazing at what she does and is such a professional. She made me feel the most beautiful and was able to capture the imagine of what every single person in my wedding party wanted. To top it off, she’s an awesome human being. She’s so kind and easy going, honestly such a great addition to have around on the big day. I would recommend her to EVERYONE. I can’t thank you enough Desiree! Thank you so so much for being part of my day and making me look and feel like a celebrity!” - Kristy

Another beautiful, cool toned look but this time for the sister of the bride. These big beautiful eyes were a dream to work on. Has a makeup artist ever told you that you have amazing eyes and lid space!? 🤣🤣 I definitely said these exact words to her lol

Happy Friday all! Leave a comment below telling me what you’re up to this weekend! 😘

It’s not very often that I get asked by a client to use cool tones on the eyes but I’m here for it! She also much preferred individual lashes to the strip lashes for a very natural look.

I’m an all around fan! What about you ❔❔

Oh you want full glam?? Alright, no problem! I can do that too 💁🏽‍♀️

It’s not often I get to play with colour and do a more dramatic makeup look. This was such a fun look to create and even better when you have the sweetest clients in your chair 💓
