A picture perfect Bride

February 6th, 2010

Ashley wasn’t just another bride.  She was graceful, humble, and just plain sweet.  She was ready to be with her one true love and it showed.  I was so grateful to have worked with such an amazing family on January 28th.  Ashley married Brian and the two of them are forever together.  The beach was their oasis, and may they be more in love every day.  Congratulations!Delray_Beach_Wedding-0019photos done by the impressive Amanda Herzberger at www.OrchardCovePhotography.com Delray_Beach_Wedding-0038I used very light makeup on Ashley, using airbrush technique.Delray_Beach_Wedding-0045‘the two were married at Gulf Stream private club. cheers!

Saturday, September 26, 2009  Erica Olthaus married Jason Wisgo at Harriet Himmel in West Palm Beach.  They got ready at the Beautiful Ritz Carlton Palm Beach.  We had a blast listening to Britney Spears, and playing with her two Chihuahua’s.  It was also my birthday!!!

The day was just perfect.  Erica looked adorable as she wore her “sexy little bride” jumpsuit from Victoria’s Secret.  She was all aglow as she thought about the hours counting down as she walked down the aisle to meet her groom.  The view from the suite was gorgeous.  Her hairstyle was chosen just for her.  A half up half down, style, with lots of curl, body, and a slight sex apeal, but with that sweetness perfect for a bride.  Erica wore airbrush makeup as did her maid of honor and her mom.

Always Striving to Perfect my Craft.

September 20th, 2009

Today, I was so lucky to have met and learned some extraordinary tips and techniques from the one and only Mr. Fred Vellon.  Fred had just got back from NYC’s fashion week, and was so gracious to share some of his knowlege.  Fred has worked with top celebrities such as Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Ricky Martin, Evanescence, Estelle, Franco de Vita, and Camilla. 

His Puerto Rican heritage,  knowledge of fashion, makeup and art, has created and amazing cultural icon in the makeup and fashion world.  I adored his enthusiasm for his craft, his attention to detail, and his willingness to share his education with other artists.  He was spicy, exciting, and just amazing to watch as he transformed skin into soft silky canvasas on which he painted his works of art.  Thank you Fred, for an amazing experience with you.  I will utilize my skills  on my clients  with grace and passion.  Good luck on your upcoming ventures in Paris and Milan!!!!!!! xoxoxo

Don’t you just love award shows?

September 17th, 2009

Well, I do!  I clearly anticipate when the next presenter is going to come out and show off their hair- or in Lady Gaga’s case her- whatever.  I think she’s totally creative, artistic, and just plain OUT THERE.  Gotta love her.

I picked out some of my favs from the night, from Madonna’s classic swept back half-pulled back look, to Taylor Swift’s elegant upstyle- we got a taste of everything that night.  Even some of Kanye’s wanna be charme.

Extensions for your next Event!

September 16th, 2009

How do these stars have such long locks?  Well, most likely they are extensions.  Kim Kardashian, Kloe, even Rachel Ray are sporting them.  In my salon, we specialize in Platinum Seamless Extensions.  My clients love them because there is 0% breakage, and the hair is beautiful, no shedding, and lays perfectly flat to the head.  For even a little bit of fullness, Platinum Seamless is the way to go.  A full head takes about an hour, and removal is 15 minutes, again, no damage. Pretty affordable, check out my website for before and after’s of extensions!

Some of my favorite new Hairstyles!

September 8th, 2009

I have been very inspired lately by the late Marilyn Monroe, as well as Jean Harlow.  I just love the hair from the 40’s, and 50’s.  The soft waves, the elegance and the romance.  Many brides are deciding to wear their hair down these days, and bringing back classic looks.  I am so grateful for that!  Some of these looks incorporate birdcage veils, and pillbox style hats. Very 40’s!  I have found some updated versions of some of the styles I found most lovely.

Airbrush Makeup

August 19th, 2009

I have been receiving a lot of questions about airbrush makeup.  Many of the questions are: Is it for me?  Why would I get it?  Things like that.  Well,  here are my answers….

Airbrush makeup is a silicone based foundation as well as other forms (eye shadow, eyeliner, lip liner) that is applied through an airbrush gun.  I primarily use it for applying foundation and blush.  The feel of the makeup is extremely light and covers flawlessly.  The makeup is waterproof, and lasts 16 hours or more.  The makeup photographs so well, which is why so many actors and actresses use it for high definition television.  Like I said, it feels like you are wearing nothing because it is so lightweight.  It doesn’t rub off on clothing, which is great when you are getting married, and doing lots of hugging and kissing!  I primarily use M.A.C. airbrush makeup as well as their conventional makeup which I love. Here are some examples of what airbrush makeup looks like:

This model looks like she only has foundation applied, very little to no eyemakeup, but notice how flawless her skin looks!  Like a doll!airbrush

Beautiful Beachy Summer Styles

July 16th, 2009

Braids are definitely back, and my brides are wearing them.  Whether one in the front, swept across, or an entire halo, they add a romantic, “Juliet”-like look to any style.  Another idea, after wearing a style incorporating a braid, undo the braid, and go with the flow-of waves that is.  A perfect compliment to any beach wedding, or summer event.  Here are some of my favorites:

The Benefits of Airbrush Makeup

July 10th, 2009

I get inquiries  about airbrush makeup.   Many questions.  Well.  Here are the answers. My answers anyway, from my experiences.  I love airbrush makeup.  It has made a huge difference in my work, and my clients love it.  Here are some of the benefits:

I personally use Temptu and M.A.C. airbrush makeup because it is Silicone based instead of alcohol based which can be drying to the skin and “crack” yuck!  Airbrush makeup is a great way to put your best Face forward!
