Taking a break from the usual wedding day photos to bring you bridal beauty product love from DV Jen.

Sugarpill Pressed Eyeshadow – Tako

What it is:

Luxury pressed eyeshadow. Richly pigmented & velvety smooth.

A great eyeshadow to add that dramatic white highlighting with a heavy smokey eye. For best results apply to the inner corner and brow bone.

Specializing in the unique needs of the bride and the bridal party

Design Visage is the most published bridal hair and makeup company in the country.

Locations in Orange County & Los Angeles

At Design Visage we take Team Building a little differently. Although we work together throughout the year, our focus is always on our bride and the bridal party. We have to make it a point to come together as a group to stay connected and get that personal time that can not be achieved via weddings on the weekend or Facebook.

We choose different activities for different reasons. 

White water rafting – To build trust and teamwork. Definitely a crazy day, no one wanted to end up in the water so you have to take care of each other to stay in the boat.

Sometimes our team building includes work. Here we all got together to make a VIP group of coordinators beautiful in LA. Our artists are always there when we need them.

The team can not always get together at the same time.

Individually we can bond as well. Here we participated in a yoga rave.

The adventures of the Design Visage Divas included this fun outing to hot air balloon in Del Mar! Never made it off the ground but that’s a whole other story.

Our artists give their time throughout the year.

This year we gave our time to Wish Upon a Wedding and celebrated at the annual Gala.

We generally close the busy wedding season with a gathering in December to reflect

and look forward to a prosperous New Year. A gondola ride to see the holiday lights.

Can’t say it is all work and no play with a break in the photo booth!

And again although the ladies were meeting new brides at the Love Tour they are able to spend valuable time together.

The next adventure for the Design Visage Divas…a cruise. That’s right, we are heading out for fun in the sun. We will play, relax, laugh and maybe even cry. Tears of joy and graditude for the amazing women we work with everyday. 

For us, team building is our way of staying connected and understanding who our artists are. We want to keep them inspired and motivated to always do an amazing job.

I feel our efforts are reflected in the work they do and the phenomenal reviews we get from our brides. A Design Visage artist is a woman of integrity, professionalism, artistry and compassion. 

I feel warm and fuzzy when I walk to the mailbox and find a hand addressed envelope inside. It may be a bride or even a planner that has been touched by our artistry and level of service that made a huge impact on their big day. 

There is still something special about a handwritten note.

I also LOVE opening my email inbox to find our brides photos along with an email about our artists.

And then there are our RAVE REVIEWS! It is so wonderful when the wedding is done and our artists have made such an impact on a brides big day that she tells it to the world. Our artists feel touched by their brides who let them know what a fantastic job they did and it also keeps them motivated to continue to provide an amazing service.

There is no other company that has the tremendous talent of our artists combined with their incomparable professionalism. 

Thank you to all our brides that take the time to let us know what a great job we did!

And a special THANK YOU to all our DV Divas for the amazing work that you do and the special women you are!

This was a crazy day of three different photo shoots in one day. I have to thank DV Ella, DV Jen and DV Lauren for all the talent they put into this day. Pure Love Photography was on site for all three as well. This is a sample of just one.

DV Lauren did an amazing job on these girls! Rancho Las Lomas is always an awesome location for any wedding or photo shoot. There were so many wonderful vendors that worked on the set. Check out the www.ourTop5Hotlist.com for more pictures! Stay tuned for more inspiration each month.

Lauren did an amazing bridal hair and make-up look on Heather. Take a look:

It was fun hearing about all the details while Heather was planning….although you never really until you see it…..beautiful. Heather planned this wedding in less than 2 months. It was perfect.

Lauren had fun with Heather’s wedding make-up. Since Heather is a hair and make-up artist, she is very comfortable with a dramatic look:

* As you can see this look is all about the lashes. I believe they have two strips on each eye. It looks so romantic.

* The shadow is very smokey, with hews of plums and greys. Perfect for Heather’s blue eyes.

* Eyes and Lips are a soft tone of corals to blend with the fantastic flowers on her dress

Wedding hairstyle:

* Heather’s retro hairstyle was created with a few wefts of hair extensions and a creative team of Lauren and Heather.

* Many brides would not be comfortable with such a large hairstyle, but not Heather, she loved it.

*Lauren created a smooth updo with large irons and a smoothing comb.

I actually attneded this wedding and it was amazing. Thanks to Heather’s Cousin Amelia Lyon Photography for the awesome photos. Heather also took advantage of the Design Visage “borrow a veil” and she found all the hair accessories on Bridalmode.

Heather chose Design Visage Lauren to beautify her for the engagement photos below and Lauren will also be there on Sat to make Heather shine….

wedding hair and make-up

Are they not just the cutest couple???

Engagement Hairstyle:

• Heather has beautiful hair…although as hair artists do, they make it even better. First Lauren added highlight and low lights to Heathers hair (yes we do fabulous color her at Design Visage as well)
• Second, Lauren added a few wefts of real hair extensions that were colored to match Heather’s Hair
• Lauren then curled all Heather’s hair with a 1 1/2 inch iron….running her fingers through it after it was set….a slight tease on the top
• Bangs were slightly curled to the side….add a hair jewel and waaala…perfect look

Engagement make-up:

• Heather has stunning eyes and she is not afraid of making them up….which was fun for Lauren since she loooooves make-up.
• The eye shadows were several shades of plums…brings out a blue eye…a thicker black liner on top that was extended outside the eye to enlarge the eye
• Lips and cheeks….natural tones of Heather’s own cheek and lip color

Stay tuned for the wedding photos……

I am proud of our salon since this was an invite only function. The type of girls that work at Design Visage hunger for education, all types, not just in the beauty field. That is why we ALWAYS hear the comment that we are unique and that the clients feel so comfortable in our salon and many continue to see our stylists and skin care specialists long after the wedding.

Here they are with some of the models…….of course they would be…..

It is important to know what type of company we are……we are so many things, although a few that stand out are: committed to integrity…..committed to education…..committed to fun

Thanks Lauren and Heather for bringing back all the new information.
