Karen's Wedding Hair & Makeup Trial!



Who: Karen
What: Wedding Hair and Makeup Trial
Where: San Jose Home Studio

I LOVE seeing familiar faces, and this time was no different! I had met Karen while doing her bridesmaid makeup for her friend Catherine's Wedding. What was so funny, was that her fiance was my husband's housemate in college! What?!? What a small world :) It was such a pleasure to have her sitting in my makeup chair this time as the bride! When she had asked if her Matron of Honor could come with her during the trial, of course I said yes. Little did I know that it would be Catherine! It was a lot of fun catching up with the both of them while creating Karen's bridal look. 

MAKEUP
- Flawless Face
- Bold Eyes
- Pop of lipcolor (no nude lips)

Karen had brought her tiara and veil to the trial. We were able to see how they would fit in with the bridal look! 










Thanks for coming in Karen (and Catherine!) Can't wait to see you ladies again :)
Cody wouldn't leave Karen alone. He was in love! Watch out Jon :)

Esther's Wedding Hair & Makeup Trial


Who: Esther
What: Wedding Hair & Makeup Trial
Where: San Jose Home Studio

I'm so glad that Esther came in for her hair and makeup trial! Before we got started, she showed me a few pictures of some makeup and hair looks that she liked. Some things that came up through request or photo interpretation that I would include for Esther's wedding look were:

MAKEUP
- Dramatic and bold eyes 
- Facial contouring 


Before and After #1

Before and After #3


Eyes open and eyes closed


HAIR
- Updo that would be able to incorporate a Korean binyeo (stick type hair accessory) stuck to the back typical for a Korean Paebaek Ceremony. Found an interesting article about it here. If you Google image search "Korean binyeo," there are so many beautiful options that show up! The one below is just an example, not the exact one that Esther will be wearing.
