Focus On Your Best Features … “Be your own kind of beautiful and avoid trends that can become quickly outdated; whether fashion, hair, or makeup!”
Confidence Is Key! … “Getting dressed formally on your wedding day is not an everyday occurrence. Choosing the right style for your special day is significant in helping you feel confident and beautiful!”
“I was inspired by the gown’s beautiful sleeve work and décolletage, so I wanted to highlight that by styling it with a sleek style that doesn’t take away from the dress but complements that area.” … “Weddings are an all- day event that require long-lasting makeup! A clean, moisturized face is the perfect canvas. I primed her face with the IL MAKIAGE No Filter Poreless Base Smoothing Primer. The look of the gown was very feminine and romantic with the lace sleeves, so I went for a soft smokey eye that I created using Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows in True Naturals.” (Gown: Eve of Milady, 4379)

“Stay true to your style!” says makeup artist Sandra Sanchez. “Pictures last forever and it’s better to keep it classic and timeless.” … “Choose a hairstylist and makeup artist who can guide you in completing your desired look,” says hair stylist Gabriella Briganti.
“I was inspired by the beautiful heart-shaped strapless top! The half-up softens the look and complements the dress. Brides can also wear this look with one side back to accentuate the shoulder.” … “Contouring is essential when creating bridal looks because it brings out the best while concealing insecurities. I used L’Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible Longwear Shaping Stick 409 to contour her stunning cheekbones. I highlighted using HUDA Beauty Overachiever High Coverage Concealer. I set all this with Laura Mercier Translucent Powder in the shade honey and Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes.” (Gown: Amalia Carrara, 371)
“With the added deco-inspired earrings, this dress and the accessories called for a sleek chignon!!” … “This look was about glam with statement earrings. I took it up a notch by also applying a false lash by Ardell and then intensifying the shadow with the same Fenty Beauty Palette. I added some brow gel by Kosas and a bolder lip by NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Rome.” (Gown: Eve of Milady, 1648)
