Bridal Trial: Lesley

Today I had the opportunity to do Lesley's bridal trial for her October wedding. Lesley didn't want to do the traditional classic bridal look instead we did a smokey eye with dark black liner but still keeping it suitable for her wedding day.

Bridal Trial: Xelanie

A few weeks ago I did a bridal trial with Xelanie who's wedding is coming up next month.  Xelanie normally wears a bare face from day to day so she wanted to keep the look natural.  Here's the result of our trial.

Last weekend I enjoyed doing the makeup for Stephanie's wedding.  Steph is a natural beauty so we kept in natural and enhanced her features a bit.  Check out the pics!

Rose's Wedding Makeup

Here are some photos of the makeup that I did for my friend Rose's wedding.  We decided to keep in natural for Rose and a little more dramatic for the Bridesmaids since it was an evening wedding.  The wedding took place at the Eglinton Grand.
