My Diamonds & Pearls Bride

One of the most enthusiastic and genuinely happy brides I've ever had the pleasure of working on, Stephanie Nunez, married her long time love, Andy Faucett, last summer in Lodi, Calif. They had an outdoor wedding ceremony and held their reception in a winery barn. I was honored to be the makeup artist for her entire wedding party. I call this look, "Old Hollywood Latina Glam"!

The funnest bridesmaids around!

Here's to forever lasting love



Njambi, Santa Barbara's Bridal Beauty

Last May, I had the pleasure of doing all the makeup for Njambi and Kevin's Santa Barbara wedding. Here are some of the professional photos taken from their special day.

Here is the Mrs. touching up in the mirror-- this is my favorite photo of her!

Njambi and Kevin with their lovely moms. All makeup used on these ladies was via MAC Cosmetics.

What a fun bunch these girls were! The Brunette Beauties. All of them had amazing skin. It was a makeup artist's dream.

Here are some shots of the speeches:

May Wedding in Santa Barbara

Happy Spring! The weather was beautiful this weekend in Santa Barbara, where I traveled to do fresh-faced Njambi's wedding. This was the most relaxed wedding party I have ever met. Everyone was on time and in a great mood. I always say that the "mood" of the party trickles down from the bride. So kudos to Njambi for keeping everyone cool as a cucumber :)

Here is the Matron of Honor, Rosemary's eyes.

Here is more of a natural look on wedding guest Lisa's eyes:

Sweetest Bride

I did this lovely bride's makeup, Corine, for her July 4th wedding at the Beverly Hilton and Greystone Mansion. She already had smooth even skin, so it made my job easy. Her fiance's request was that she look like she does everyday (natural, obvs) so i kept her fresh and sweet appearance and enhanced with lashes (which she STILL had on the next day for the family breakfast and poolside event, haha!)

Peek A Boo!

Hi Makeup Lovers! I have been super busy with family and work events this fall, and completely forgot about this poor blog! My apologies, I promise I'll be more attentive in the future...

 Here is another LadyCArtistry bride named Monique. She's a shy one, but I was able to snag this pic of her on her most important day. I had the privelidge of doing her makeup back in Spring of 2009.

Bridal Makeup

Good morning dolls! Thought I'd finally post some photos of my work. This is the lovely Mrs. Angelica Rose McDonnell in November 2008. Got her ready for the best day of her life with the full Bridal treatment. She wanted a natural look (as most brides do), so i used some really classic lashes and of course waterproof eye makeup. Brides are my favorite clients, i love being there on their special day and making them feel beautiful.
