Airbrushing: Danielle Wedding Day, February 2009

    Danielle, what can I say, not much to work on really!  I wished I looked this good when I woke up in the AM, or anytine actually!  A very  beautiful bride.  Danielle wanted a more natural yet glamorous look.  Take a look at her (falsies) lashes that is.  Non detectable and natural yet THERE!

Mom, just like most moms, taking care of her family, and taking no time for hereself. She came in with a bush of eyebrows. I tweezed on the spot.  Eyebrows can take a few years off and lift your face.  The before photo has her with the eyebrows tweezed, too bad, CHUT, I forgot to take a close up photo   of her very well endowwed brows.  To the right, WHOALA and ready!

Airbrush Makeup: Wedding Library Trunk Show, Jan. 30 -Feb. 1, 2009

    At the trunk show, BridalGal

was demonstrating the benefits of airbrush makeup.  We got some happy customers and staff!

 

BridalGal @ The Palace Hotel, "A Bridal Party" Wedding Library, NY January 24, 2009

  Hi Brides:  Most of you went to the show. It was a pleasure meeting you all and I am happy you came to visit and watched our demonstrations on Airbrushing.  My sister and Makeup Artist, Carol Rivera, My associate Hair Stylist Petra Olan and myself, had a ball conversing and sharing your wedding plans. I thank those who waited on line to get the demo and stuck by patiently to get first hand experience on the technique. 

Below, are some photos of some ladies who posed for the camera and had a touch of airbrush magic.   A promised here are the photos.  Notice the difference a touch of the airbrush wand  will do.                                            

 The Process

Airbrush makeup is the way to go for natural long lasting beauty!  The following photos will illustrate the process and the difference between natural un made up skin and airbrushed skin.  The difference is subtle yet very noticeable.  Airbrushing the correct formula translates into skin loving makeup that only enhances your skin tone, texture and looks like real skin, and it is more even, radiant and beautiful. 

Please keep in mind that these photos are  for the purpose of showing the difference in the skin. These are not full makeup applications, just a demo to show you and for you to experience the technique and the effect on your skin.  You are welcomed to contact me any time if you have any questions. Please feel free to comment on the blog!

Before & After: Jenny Baek-Bridal Makeup Trial - December 2008

              Jenny's trial was great!  She is a sweet lady, friend of a past bride client of ours.  Jenny  wanted to make her eyes the focus.  She loves cool tones, as you can see, she knows!  Those colors look great on her skin tone.  I added false individual lashes.  These are applied one by one for a more natural and full effect (her first time.)  I also contoured her cheeks a bit with the airbrush for a soft contour,  which makes her face a bit more alongated which naturally and softly acentuates her bone structure. I also contoured her nose a bit, highlighted the top of her cheek bones.  For long wearing lip color, I used a what I call "hard core" long wearing lipstick (this is color technology does not come off until you take it off, not available in retail stores exclusively available at BridalGal) the color used Pink Champagne to go with her look.  

              As always, I used Waterproof Airbrush Makeup from Kett Cosmetics for extended durability and a beautiful smooth finish.  

              Well my dear Jenny, "how do you look?"

    

                         

Best, Lilly!
