Get the Look - The Vintage Bride

One of my favorite bridal trends that seems to be sticking around is the Vintage Bride.  The vintage bridal look is fairly easy to do if you can master the application of bold red lips and winged out eyeliner.

The Vintage Bride Essentials....
Eyes: To achieve this timeless look you need to know a few basics.  In this era eye lids were fairly light.  And the bold winged out eyeliner was the only focus.  Just a medium shade eyeshadow slightly darker then your natural skin tone is put in the crease just to bring some depth.  Thick black lashes finish the eyes.

Lips: Bold red lips are a must!  You can go with any shade that will compliment your skin tone.  Red-berry, orange-red, blue-red, washed red, cherry red.  It really doesn't matter.  Use a complimentary lip liner to avoid any bleeding of the lipstick. 

To complete the look have your hair stylist do finger waves with a modern twist to give you an updated version so that you don't look to "period".   Some of my favorite hair accessories are the bird cage veil, the Juliet Cap Veil, 50's shoulder length veils, or to simply put a large flower in your hair in lieu of a veil. 

1.Bird cage veil from YJDesign $55.  Find it here.
2.Juliet Cap Veil from Glideshadows $138.00.  Find it here.
3.Hair Flower from Hair Comes the Bride $52.00.  Find it here.
4.Should Length 50's inspired veil from Tiffani Saxton Designs $62.00. Find it here.

To get the look (Shown in top photo)...
Eyes: MAC Cosmetics Shroom Eyeshadow all over the lid.
MAC eyeshadow in Grain in the crease.
MAC Fluideline in Blacktrack for the liner.

Lips: Mary Kay lipstick in Red.
Mary Kay liner in Rasberry.

Cheeks: Mary Kay blush in Strawberries and Cream.

So there are lots of ways to play up this "vintage" theme.  No matter what, it's a timeless and stunning look.  Have fun with it!  Red is a confident color, so show some confidence and know you are rocking this look.

"Smoochies"

Photoshoot Exclusive! Natasha

This stunning swimsuit model wanted to get some new looks in her portfolio and contacted me to do her makeup.  She was an amazing canvas to work on and so sweet.  We had lots of fun creating a couple of looks for her.  Stay tuned for the Country shoot pictures coming soon!

To get Natasha's Head shot look:

Start by putting Soft Ochre Paint pot by MAC all over the lid and brow bone.

Apply All That Glitters eyeshadow by MAC all over the lid and almost all the way to the brow bone and in around the tear duct.

Use MAC's Carbon eyeshadow in the crease and outer "v" and into the lower lash line.  Blend this out really well to create a smokey look.

Put bronzer just under the cheek bones.  Then add NARS Orgasm Blush to the tops of the cheekbones. 
For the lips we used MAC Subculture lip liner and MAC Cherish lipstick.
Finally add Red Cherry #82 Lashes for drama.

Viola!  She just glowed!  Try this look for yourself!  Good Luck!
