Bridal makeup should enhance, not transform.

For my signature bridal glam I follow 3 rules:

1. No following the newest trends, I want you to look back on your makeup in 30 years and think “damn, I look so good!” Not, “what was I thinking with that lip colour?”

2. If it’s a blemish, I cover it, if you were born with it (hello freckles and beauty marks!) I strive to let these natural features shine through, so you still look like you!

3. Light layers, always. From skin care prep to final setting sprays I always apply your makeup in the thinest layers possible to build longevity and control over the final outcome. No slapping on foundation just for the sake of it over here.

the request: soft glam, elevated makeup.
Lauren wanted to feel like herself just enhanced, every brides dream right??

After her trial we switched a few things up. Higher blush placement, a slightly softer more fluffy false lash, more pink less peach tones for lipstick.

Swipe for some behind the scenes if you want to see what it’s like working with me on your wedding day, and why I always love a good trial!!

PS Lauren you’re an angel 💛💛

The biggest myth when it comes to bridal makeup:

You need to wear a LOT so it looks good in photos.

No no no my friend. While yes, your bridal glam is going to be more than your every day makeup look, this doesn’t mean heavy foundation, thick lashes and bold, blinding blush.

The balance is in creating a makeup look that feels good in person, and photographs like a dream.

The key to achieve this? Thin layers, precise placement and proper prep.

I believe in makeup that leaves you feeling enhanced. Applying products precisely where you need to get the most impact, while keeping you looking like YOU!

had a few minutes between work today so thought I’d bring out manny the mannequin and see what I could whip up during my break! It’s not perfect, and there’s a few things I would change for sure if working on real hair but sometimes it’s fun to just play around with different techniques and see where it takes you. Styles like these high buns are sticking around for the 2025 season and I’m here for it!

almost every bride that sits down in my chair says “I think I want soft glam”. Here’s some important things to consider when requesting a soft glam makeup.
