Here are a few unedited iPhone images I take of my clients before & after their trial or wedding day sessions with me. I consider it an honor to get to know my clients in such a personal way and believe all women, at any age, are truly beautiful. Some are shown before, others are just after makeup. All ages from 23 to 80 are represented. As always I'm thrilled to hear your thoughts! ~Lisa Makeup Before & After, Bridal Makeup in Nashville, Women Over 40 Makeup Tips in Nashville, Airbrush Makeup in Nashville |

Waterproof Eye Makeup Products for Summer 2012 ...and the hunt continues. Here are a few waterproof eye products I have tried. These are in my very own beauty bag for moi. Here in the hot, steamy South our summers are BRUTAL with a capital "B" for well, Brutal. It's hot, it's steamy and your makeup unfortunately melts away easily. These eye products will help keep you looking beautiful and like the gorgeous Summer Goddesses you are. *please note that all waterproof eye products do require a waterproof remover, so do purchase one for your bag - or you will risk the torment of tugging, scrubbing and pulling out your lashes - so unattractive. This mermaid-worthy formula endures (I have actually tested it at sea), and the light gel formula never looks cakey. Very lightweight and your lashes will actually be feathery when applied properly. My new go to for steamy summer. Create a smoldering smoky eye that won’t crease after a hot summer night with this cream-to-powder duo. Use your finger for allover color or a thin brush to line. Great color choices and you won't have ugly racoon eyes long after the sun has gone down. Equipped with a flexible foam-tip applicator, this easy-to-use liquid liner stays put all day and is available in 15 vibrant shades. You cannot beat this product line for waterproof-ness. To have 15 shades also is a MAJOR plus! Everyone that knows me KNOWS I'm an MUFE fan - check out THIS BLOG POST.
Removes eye makeup instantly. Cleans delicate eye area without leaving a greasy film. I love this product because it doesn't sting my eyes and is oil free. With waterproof makeup you MUST use a waterproof makeup remover - because of the tugging and scrubbing if you don't use one - and NOBODY wants to see that. Activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup, while conditioning and refreshing the skin. Ideal for sensitive skin and contact lens wearers. Leaves eyes feeling cool and relaxed, with no oily residue. A little goes a long way with this soothing product - and I also love it because it doesn't sting my eyes. Look for more waterproof product reviews in the ensuing days - I'm testing waterproof face products next. If you have any favorites or comments on these, I look forward to hearing from you! Please post. I am always thrilled to hear from those who take the time to read my blog :) Waterproof Summer Makeup, 2012 Summer Makeup, L'Oreal, LANCOME, Make Up For Ever, Urban Decay, Smashbox |

BRIDES BY LISA Why you need to consider hiring a professional makeup artist (ME!) for your wedding. You have your gorgeous wedding dress - your bridesmaids dresses - your mother and/or mother of the groom are excited and looking forward to being a part of your day - you have the beautiful venue - the flowers - the little details like the shoes and jewelry - you have your hairstyling in mind (or somewhat) - and of course your professional photographer who will be taking pictures of you and everyone like no other day of your life. I consider your wedding day makeup and "look" an integral part of your planning - the final polish.  My expertise is in making you look absolutely STUNNING at all angles - in all lighting environments - as well as helping to keep the beauty production flowing so you are on time. I've had brides tell me they didn't want to even take their lashes or makeup off during their honeymoon. I've had mothers and grandmothers contact me to thank me for making them look gorgeous for the first time in years. These declarations always make me happy and a lot of why I do what I do! As a makeup artist, I'm well known for my clean beauty makeup - and many brides love this fresh, youthful look. Maybe you have a high fashion look you're dreaming of for your very formal wedding - you want glamourous faux lashes and everyone to look pulled together and cohesive. Whatever your heart desires, we will work on creating what works perfectly for you. And as my bridal client, your beauty and happiness are my focus. I am there to take the stress off of you - no running around all over town, worrying about being late or lost - having me there while everyone is getting ready is a calming experience for everyone. You will look and feel STUNNING with your final polish before you walk down that aisle! Contact me today to book your trial - let me show you how beautiful you are. YOU, only better! ™ |

CONTACT ME TODAY TO RECEIVE YOUR COLOR CONSULTATION & GIFT @ TRIAL! A LITTLE BEFORE & AFTER - a recent makeover for a bride's grandmother for her wedding day. She graciously allowed me to do her makeup and showcase her before & after. These are unretouched iPhone images. I used the COVER FX SKIN PREP and other professional makeup products for her makeover. AMAZING! As a beauty artist, I'm privy to many new products for all skin types and needs. I have to say, there are some remarkable new anti-aging products out on the market today - that WORK. I recently found the product line COVER FX and their amazing primer product SKIN PREP FX. This is like caviar to your skin - without the smell...or price. Matter of fact, their entire line is amazing. I use this now on my 40-something face and highly recommend this to all of my clients over a "certain age" - it blurs the lines and nourishes your skin, as well as extending the life of your makeup. RUN DONT WALK! COVER FX Nourishing Foundation Primer Makeup and Anti-Aging Serum $45.00 |

NASHVILLE BRIDAL MAKEUP Racoon Eyes? No need to go without mascara for the summer! So many choices for your lashes - and for summer - the LAST thing you want during the swealtering heat are racoon eyes - so my pick if waterproof all the way. Summer is also a great time to try different colors for fun - YSL has that covered. Here we have a few picks to try - and it's always adviseable to mix your mascaras should you need volume AND length. Start with a volumizing mascara and top it off with a 2nd coat of waterproof lengthening formula - you can use different lines, as well. Just don't forget the waterproof makeup remover! Above, from left:Maybelline One by One Waterproof Mascara, $7.99, available at Ulta; YSL Mascara Singulier Waterproof in Vibrant Violent, $30, available at YSL; Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara, $20, available at Urban Decay. |
