Oh how I adore my iPhone for so many reasons - but that little thing takes amazing pictures too! Not bad for a non professional - and it's SO handy for before and after shots for my bridal business and clients. Here are a few before&afters; I took this past weekend of bridal clients for their trial makeup (w/theirpermission of course!!)~ Jennifer is such a funny, sweet and outgoing bride - she wanted something softly dramatic - so we opted for a modified smokey cat eye. Her wedding will be VERY dramatic in the evening and with red and black lace bridesmaids gowns - slated to be in the Fall this year. Cannot WAIT to see how amazing this wedding will be and how gorgeous Jennifer and her bridesmaids will look! Jenna Hayek from Polished Salon, who I work with a LOT will be doing their hair - so stay tuned for the wedding before & afters!  Jennifer wanted an oh so slight cat eye. I used a ton of shades in black shimmer from Lancome (The New Black), Yaby Pearl Paints in lilac, LORAC shimmer golds and peaches, Maybelline Aubergine Liner and tons of Lancome Hypnose mascara - drew in her brow a tad and viola. Smashbox Primer in Green (to cut back on her red tendency), Cinema secrets cream foundation, Yaby and Graftobian dual finish powder foundation, Camera Ready and Lancome glosses and nude lip liner. A bit of Nixie cream blush brushed on just a tad in a peachy browny pink (can't remember the name) She's a stunner, just like her amazing personality too! www.bridesbylisa.com Mary Malone of Brides by Mary will be doing Rayna's hair and I cannot wait for her beautiful wedding before & after too! ~*~*~*~*~*~ Rayna is such a sweet, kind and amazing woman. She is so totally fit and down to earth. She is a fitness and wellness expert and has her own business in East Nashville. She rarely wears makeup and wanted something to make her eyes pop while giving her complexion a glow. Her gown is this amazingly floaty dress, with one shoulder of delicate flowers that trail all the way down the back of her gown...this will be an amazing bride on her wedding day too! She loved her makeup! (So do I.)  Rayna wanted a soft yet dramatic eye and romantic look to compliment her dress. We used brownish plum shadows to line her eye an customized shadows by Yaby - Camera Ready and Lancome lipglosses custom mixed, Nars Orgasm blush, St...ila Bronzer, Cinema Secretsfoundation and Loose Powder in no color. Lancome Hypnose Mascara to top off her lashes. Rayna has large deep set eyes, so my focus was to call attention to them by using light eyeshadows to bring her eye forth without overwhelming her crease. ~*~*~*~*~*~ I will be posting more (with the brides permissions, of course) before&afters of my brides and clients in the days to come. It's fun and I think everyone loves a good before and after. Let me know if you have any makeup questions or concerns you'd like me to talk about in a blog and I'll do my best to help!
