Airbrush works well on all skin textures and tones! Every look in our portfolio is created with airbrush foundation.
We love using it because it is water resistant, feels light on the skin and can create a wide range of looks from very natural ( no makeup makeup looks) to super glam ( full coverage Pinterest looks).
Makeup only looks as good as your skin does, so with that we recommend starting a skin care routine that addresses any issues leading up to your trial/wedding date.
Brows are EVERYTHING lets talk about it!
They shape your face so you want your brow professional to give you the right shape. Once you have the right shape going, you can enhance them with different services that are offered. Trust me if you have a brow need there is a service out there for you. A fuller brow gives you a more youthful appearance so be cautious with your tweezers and leave it to the professionals.
Lamination - Sets your brows in place and gives them a fuller appearance last 4-6 weeks fades away naturally.
Tinting - Fills in the brows and adds a deeper color to lighter brows so no need to fill them in with makeup, lasts 4-6 weeks.
Trimming - When you have your brows done make sure they get trimmed for a neat look that will define the shape.
Wax, Tweezing, Threading - The are so many was of removing the unwanted hair from the brows that if you don't like one method try a different one. My personal favorite is threading because i have sensitive skin and its faster than tweezing.
Brow growth serum - This is a great addition to your brow routine if you have some sparse spots in your brows that you are needing to fill in. Start using 1-2 months out from your wedding to give the serum time to work.
Microblading - This is the most permanent way to change your brow shape since it's a type of tattooing. Unlike a regular tattoo, "microblading is a form of tattoo artistry where pigment is implanted under your skin with a manual handheld tool instead of a machine where they draw hair-like strokes with the tool to mimic natural hairs in your brows.
If you decide to go for Microblading make sure you start the process at least 6 months out from your wedding because they start out darker than they end up and need time to heal and you may need an adjustment/touchup before the wedding.

Here's everything you need to know about lashes, all of the options and what the maintenance is like to make the right decision for your big day.
The options in order of most natural to most glam!
1. Eyelash curler and Mascara
This is the least amount of commitment and as long as you have a good curler ( one of my favorites is from MAC) and a mascara you like you are good to go.
PRO TIP: Warm up your eyelash curler with your blowdryer to get a longer lasting curl in your lashes.
2. Lash Lift
This service is done by a professional and it curls your eyelashes from 4-6 weeks and it takes 30-45min. A lash lift is one of my personal favorites, this is a good fit for someone that has long lashes already but needs some curl to them and have a hard time keeping them curled with an eyelash curler and mascara. The maintenance on this is minimal after the the first 24 hours, you cant get them wet and you should try to sleep on your back because they are still setting and you don't want any weird dents in them while you sleep. Another pro for a lash lift is you only get them touched up when you want so it's perfect for special occasions ie weddings and honeymoons. Can be done week of wedding.
3. Lash Tint
This service tints your lashes and only takes about 20 mins. A lash tint is for people with lighter lashes and it will accentuates the length of your lashes without needing mascara. Perfect for a beach honeymoon where you will be in and our of the water without worrying about mascara. Can be done week of wedding.
4. False strip lashes
Low commitment but high impact! Great for people just wanting a look for one day or for pictures. Can be applied at home or by a professional makeup artist. Choose lashes made with natural hair if you want a subtle look. Or, go for full volume eyelashes for a bold, edgy look. If you have deep-set eyes, look for long lashes with a moderate curl to emphasize your brow. If you have round eyes, look for winged or wispy lashes, which create a flirty and feminine cat-eye shape. Applied day of wedding
5. Lash Extensions
The most high maintenance but the most glam day to day.
The looks:
Classic - they attach one eyelash to one of your lashes for a natural look, takes 1.5 hours.
Hybrid - this is a mix of classic and full volume some one to one and some 3 on 1, takes 2 hours
Full Volume - they attach 3 lashes to your one but the lash is finer than the classic to not overwhelm your eye but still give you a very glam voluminous look, takes 2.5 hours.
Mega Volume - they attach 10 -20 lashes that are even finer than the full volume to one of your lashes for the most glam look! takes 3 hours
MAINTENANCE -
* Do not get them wet for the first 24 hours
* Do not wear mascara
* Brush everyday
* Use lash cleanser
* You need to have your lashes filled every 2-3 weeks to keep them looking their best
If you opt for lash extensions for your big day go in 3-4 weeks before your wedding to get a full set done to make sure you try them out and get the volume you like and to make sure you don't have any kind of allergic reaction. Once you get the perfect look, all you need is a fill the week of your wedding. Fills take less time which will be helpful in the last week of planning.
My recommendations for lash artists below and examples of some of the looks!

Everyone wants to look their best for their big day, one part of that is coloring your hair. So when is the perfect time? It all depends on on your color.
Here is a quick guide
1 week in advance- These colors loose vibrancy fast so the closer you can do this to the wedding the better.
*Fashion colors - Purple, Blue, Pink, etc… (if your fashion color is in the pastel family you will want to touch up your color as close to the wedding 1-2 days if possible. These colors only last through a couple shampoos so you want to make sure your color is noticeable.
1-2 weeks in advance- You want as little root as possible showing
*Highlights
*All over colors - Brunettes, Reds, Blondes
*Grey coverage
1 month in advance - This gives you the most wiggle room as time because the look already has a “lived in look” that people love so much!
*Balayage
*Shadow root
Extras -
*Always remember to keep in mind the color you want for the big day so your stylist can best pair your style to your color.
*If you are thinking about changing your color, consult your colorist. Some color changes may take up to a year to to achieve ie.. going platinum blonde or going from light to dark takes a couple of appointments for the new color to set into your hair. You’ll want to plan ahead.
•give lashes a chance or a lash lift is a great alternative if you want more of a natural look
•wear a little more makeup than you think because pictures always tone it down
•let your makeup artist know about your skin oily, dry, sensitive....
•if you do a smoky eye go for a natural lip and vice versa
•prep your skin ( cleanse, moisturize, and do a lip scrub)
•bing inspiration photos of looks you like and don’t like
Hair Trial
• try at least 2 different looks to really get an idea of what you like
bring your accessories to get the full picture
Take pictures along the way so you can see how the style will look in pictures
1-2 months before wedding if possible is ideal for a trial (for sure after you have picked out your dress)
Take into account weather (heat, rain etc...)
If you have natural curls embrace them!( you want to look and feel like yourself!)
Be open to extensions if your looking for a glamorous down look
Consider your hair color for the style you want, styles show up differently in different colors!
Contrary to what you always hear you shouldn’t show up to your wedding style appointment with dirty hair, sounds weird right?. Well here’s why, Dirty hair will just give your stylist hair that they have to fight against vs just getting to work. For example say your used to using a smoothing cream in your daily routine before you style, but for your wedding day style you are wanting voluminous waves, that smoothing cream is going to make it really hard for your stylist to make that volume last all day long because they will be fighting the smoothing effects of the cream. For best results washing your hair day of or even the night before (if you don’t want to blowdry your hair) and making sure that it is dry at the start time of your appointment will ensure a clean canvas for your stylist. Also it’s best to not add any product after washing so it won’t interfere with your style, leave that up to the professionals. Keeping in mind these tips will set you up for a beautiful wedding day style and help your stylist stay on time!
