Wedding Makeup - Rachael

 I have numerous brides who tell me that they have had makeup trials that didn't go so well. Sometimes I wonder what the heck were the ladies at the counter thinking? Did they even ask them what kind of look they wanted? Brides never want a complicated look, honestly brides are the easiest, if you speak "bride". Not to toot my own horn but I am pretty fluent in "bride".

With that being said... Enter Rachael.

This poor girl called our store saying how she had 3 trials...3! She hated them all because nobody could get it how she wanted it. Her wedding was in 3 days too by the way. So after I heard this I was a bit nervous thinking she was going to be a total bridezilla and crazy. The next day she came in for her appointment with her mom and got started. We talked for a few minutes about her ideas, vision, colors, etc. And it seemed pretty darn easy lol. So I got to work on her pretty little face. She was so easy going and she loved her face! Which makes my job pretty awesome! Her mom also loved it which is sometimes the hardest person to work with. They both even got teary eyed! SCORE!!! So needless to say she came back the next day for her actual wedding day!

I feel like she got booked with me for a reason. We chatted the whole time like old friends and joked about the south ( which we are both from), talked about family and just got to know each other. Rachael is such a sweet girl with a warm soul. I wish her the best in her marriage and hope her day was everything she imagined it would be. Here is her beautiful face. Sorry for my cell phone pictures. I will update with better ones when she gets them!

Juliana - Victoria's Secret Model

The other day at work we were super slow which made me super bored. My friend Juliana just clocked out and I wanted to do her makeup, so I made her sit down and went to town. This girl is one of the prettiest girls I have ever met and she is one of my best friends so it's a win win situation for me :) So here is her pretty little face after I finished and she totally looks like Alessandra Ambrisio the Victoria's Secret model.




I look like a had next to her lol but I suppose that would be my fault :)
