Bridal with my 'fav @MakeupJunkieJDT

On the Road again with The Lift Beauty Girls!

This weekend I had the honor of working, yet again, with one of my favorite ladies - Joy of The Amazing Make-upJunkie Blog

Bridal season is in FULL swing - Joy and I will be helping to make a number of brides dreams come true this year!

On Saturday we were warmly welcomed into Bride-Christina's home, where we met her adorable family and friends!

 Christina and Her Groom Bruno - Who we unfortunately didn't get to meet - were lucky with amazing weather and incredibly sweet and supportive family and friends! 

What a great group of brides-maids!

Here are some pics of our day with Bride Christina - Thanks again for welcoming us into your home and having us be a party of your special day! Xo 

 Christina asked for a classic bun with a modern flare, to match her modernized version of the traditional Lace Bridal Gown - By adding texture and volume to the the classic chinion I was able to give Christina exactly what she was looking for!

 Christina did ask for a natural look at her trial but as Joy completed what she had asked for, Christina realized she wanted a bit more! With a slight smoke on the eye, and a not so natural lip color Christina looked like herself, but totally glamorous for her big day!

Joy used ALL Lift Cosmetics to get this look!

Skin: N3 Duo Powder, Flawless Finish in Linen (Gives that Dewy Complexion),Temptress Blush
Eyes: Chocolate Brown e/s, Snow White e/s, Pink Opal Loose Powder Pigment, Shimmering Mauve e/s, Moon Dust Loose Powder Pigment, Pleasant Plum e/s, Black Magic e/s, SuperLash Black Mascara -Waterproof

Lips: True Desire Vanilla Bean Mineral Lipstick, Sweet Dreams Lip Gloss

Christina's Total Look!

Okay, So Lets talk Bridal Trends for Summer 2010:

Hair

Last Year most of my brides were asking to wear their hair down, with a loose wave. A soft, natural look. 

This Year it seems, most of my brides are asking for an updo! Most of them are still wanting that soft loose curl, but all UP! 

Make-Up

Last Year I think I heard "I want to look VERY natural," every time we did a bride.

This Year our brides and brides-maids want DRAMA! Smokey eyes, a strong lip, and dewy skin!

*Every Bride is different but these are some of the trends I'm noticing more often than not!

Here Comes the Bride...

Generally we do a product review/feature on Thursday's... but today we are going to switch it up a little cause we need your feedback!

One of our own is getting MARRIED, this coming June at Casa (Castle) Loma! So Exciting...

Congrats Lauren and Greg!

Our Lovely Lady is having a hard time choosing her "look" for the big day!

Here are some pics, check them out and let us know which you prefer!

Keep in mind; 

Summer Wedding, Castle Loma, Ball Gown, Cathedral Vail....

The First Look We Like to Call: Soft Romantic Bride

• Hair: Soft Curls pinned back into a loose and romantic Up-do with some face framing pieces.
• Make-up: Heidi Klum inspired, glowing but muted! Looks awesome Joy!

The Second Look We Like to Call: Ballerina Bride

• Hair: It doesn't look perfect because we did it straight from the curly texture of the first look! But picture this massive smooth bun, placed a little higher on her head. *Think; Carrie Bradshaw/Or a Modernized Audrey Hepburn.
• Make-up: A stronger Look, A little more drama to the eyes and a bold PINK Lip!

Tell us what you think. Should we start all over with a completely new look? Or choose one of these?

Remember to keep the princess/castle theme in mind...

We can't wait to hear what you think!
