This shoot was created by my girls at Gold Dust Vintage, Megan and Rachel....love them! They wanted to show how vintage doesn't always have to mean "shabby chic"...but can actually be translated into many types of décor. They used colorful sofas, lanterns, vases, tableware....all sorts of goodies and created a fantasy setting for an East meets West style photo shoot that was just chock full of ideas for brides to consider! They gathered up a team of local wedding professionals to help, and I was thrilled to be asked to do hair and makeup for the shoot. I normally don't do wedding hair, but I was happy to create two simple looks for this shoot...a twisted side pony and then a classic side-parted updo for the second look. The makeup was FUN....the first look was a very dramatic dress and we wanted dramatic makeup to go with it! Several colors of blue and turquoise, MAJOR lashes and a bold hot pink lip.....
This look was more of a traditional, colorful Indian-inspired look, but yet with modern and edgy twists...I just loved it! Our model Shaina, was a dream to work with....she's so gorgeous.
Oh, did I mention it was WELL over a hundred degrees that day?!?! It was in August and it was HOT. So glad my stuff was set up in air conditioning! The photographer was shooting away and capturing dreamy images like the one above, but then we realized it was starting to get dark....we had to REALLY hurry to do the second look! I quickly scrubbed Shaina's face and created look #2, a buffed out smoky eye, flushed pink cheeks with a bit of shimmer and a subtle, warm pink lip. And....more traditional lashes! This look is more of a glamorous bridal look and one I actually create pretty often on real brides...it photographs well and looks fabulous in person too, it's a most requested look. With makeup in 15 minutes flat, I pinned up her hair, she changed dresses and put on some truly fabulous jewelry and look #2 was complete!
