Ann & Bryan's Wedding

It is always great to see the finished photos of a wedding that I've done makeup services for.  Ann & her group of bridesmaids + mother-in-law were an awesome bunch to work with!

New Product Spotlight: CHANEL Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet, $45

Okay, Okay ... I know this is not exactly a newly launched product, but it is a new product for me.  I've been using this product on customers since it launched, but I never understood how amazing this foundation was until I used it for the first time on myself 2 weeks ago.  Lightweight, smooth, and matte - it quickly became my go-to foundation (I feel so bad for cheating on my beloved Missha BB Cream!).

The drawbacks of this foundation is that it is not long-wearing enough for my 12 hour workdays and it is not full coverage- I would say this gives a good 6 hours of wear before you start to notice your oilies coming out and it's time for a touch-up - but the flawless, smooth and natural finish that I get from this foundation is definitely worth it!

Since I am wearing an iridescent, hot pink shirt today, I thought this photo would be more than appropriate.  One word: FAB.

Wedding Makeup - Chino Hills, CA

I had the pleasure of doing makeup for a group of fabulous ladies yesterday for a wedding in Chino Hills, CA.  When I left the hotel room at 3:30pm, the temperature was 85 degrees!  That definitely called for an extra spritz of setting spray to hold everything in!

The ladies were so happy with their makeup - it is so gratifying to know that I am able to make people feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside!  I honestly feel that that is the most fulfilling part of doing what I do - feeling so blessed and thankful today :-)  Happy Monday!
