John and Max Mills Photography/ Wedding Hair and Make-up/Estee Lauder Beauty

This is an extra fun post for me…it has several layers of fun. First I want to share the thank you Shanna wrote to Dana (her Design Visage artist).

Dana did a wonderful job on my hair and make-up. Throughout the evening several people commented that I looked like the Estee Lauder Bridal Model…..

Wow….actually when I see the wedding hair and make-up that you chose, I do believe I agree. Let’s see the fabulous photos of John and Max Mills Photography .

Shanna called earlier this year and said that her friend was married 9 years ago and Dana from Design Visage was the artist, and asked if by chance Dana was still with us….and yes our lovely talented Dana has been helping brides look fantastic for over 12 years with Design Visage……….check out Bridalmode for hair flowers like Shanna’s

So now let’s chat about how Shanna met her handsome man. Shanna’s father (who by the way looks like Clint Eastwood) took the family dog to the local Vet. This is where he saw this man that he knew was perfect for Shanna. So Shanna took her cat in, she immediately saw what dad was talking about. They chatted and Shanna noted that …..loved to surf. So now the cat was fine so what to do. Fortunately Shanna writes for the local paper, she did an article on surfing and how she would love to learn…..low and behold, he called. A romance was born, but it was not until a few years later that ..taught Shanna to surf. But shes not complaining.

Shanna….you did good girl…….

Wedding hair style:

This is one of my favorite looks….the classic Breakfast at Tiffanys, Audrey Hepburn beauty. This style is created with  very smooth hair that is pinned and then fanned.

Wedding Make-Up:

With this look Dana used several shades of neutrals, for the eyes lips and cheeks. The result, a very natural look, although don’t be fooled that natural means light make-up, it means natural tones applied for depth and light…..a fantastic classic look….see for yourself

The last part of this fun story is August 15 of this year, we had the pleasure of beautifying Shanna for her wedding and then I got to do her make-up on October 17th for her good friend Mary’s wedding in Lake Arrowhead…and yes Dana was the Design Visage artist for Mary (photos to come)

Cloud 9 Photography/Wedding Hair and Make-Up

Bridal Make-Up:

  • So Casey has perfect skin so that helps make our work look even better
  • Lauren, Casey’s Design Visage artist used a mineral make-up and powder with a lasting quality to start the pallet.
  • a smoky purple was the contour color for Casey’s eyes and lot’s of lashes
  • since the focus was on the eyes Lauren applied a very natural, almost lip tone lip pencil and gloss

Wedding Hairstyle

  • Lynne has great hair….long and full and like many brides wanted a soft half updo. So Dana ( her Design Visage artist) used a 1 1/2 iron to do loose curles all over.
  • After the hair cools….Dana took loose pieces from the sides and created a bridal hairstyle in the back
  • The overall look in so natural, although elegant and the fact that there is a part up, the hairstyle will look good all night
  • Dana did a elegant swoop bang for the front of Lynne’s bridal hairstyle.

Wedding Make-Up:

  • Lynn is so darn cute….the make-up just added a touch….Dana started with a mineral foundation and powder….sheer with staying power
  • Shadow color was a canvass all over the lid, contour pink brown (this is the best best color to contour without looking made up) topped off with a sable liner and matching shadow to smoke out the liner and corners of the eye (don’t forget the brow shaper)
  • the final touch was a heather pink lip with a sweetie gloss…a very natural pink…this creates a very natural lip tone that is the color of Lynne’s lips…just a bit darker….

A Rancho Las Lomas Angle/Wedding Hair and Make-Up/Palos Studios

Some brides and their family leave a lasting impression here at Design Visage. Lisa, her mom Toni and friends came to us many times prior to the wedding for pre wedding beauty. Facials, tans, body wraps. They were such a pleasure to have in the salon. Sometimes you hear that the vendors can not wait until a wedding is over….well this was just the opposite for DesignVisage. We know we will not be seeing the girls as often as before…..well enough about that …let’s get on with the details. First I must thank Palos Studio for the stunning photos…thank you thank you….secondly Jill Watson of the Pampered Bride. Do we just love when Jill organizes the brides day…..everything perfect….thank you thank you, and the location, well it does not get much better than Rancho Las Lomas. if you have not seen this location, do yourself a favor and do a look/see….simply beautiful.

Lisa is such a kind, gracious girl. She has this incredible natural curly dark hair, so it was a no brainer that Heather ( Lisa’s Design Visage artist) went with her hair and chose a bridal hairstyle that complimented the natural beauty of her hair. I do believe it was the right choice……

upimage_1249548518_1323

Now make-up was another thing…..Lisa is one of those lucky girls that can carry off a bit more color and it looks as if it were meant to be. The color of the year….eggplant, was the shadow color, with a strong rose lip, and blush to accent. And as you can see, Lisa has perfect skin and a contagious smile…..so how could we go wrong.

It’s been a good year for the USC band, I have seen them at more weddings than on TV this year!!!

I do believe this was a fun wedding..thanks Lisa for letting Design Visage be a part of the memories.

Design Visage/Get Your Hankie Out for This One

I heard from the wedding coordinator…extraordinaire Lisa Simpson, that the bride and groom both sobbed when they saw each other prior to the wedding. Lisa of course was complimenting the Design Visage make-up application…its cry proof. Although when I saw these beautiful photos from OrangeTurtle Photography …I sobbed…..you can not fake this look….it is the look of pure love and joy to be getting married. Becky and Dastuni’s photos are my favorite so far in 09. Let’s see what you think.

Look at him watch her walk down the isle to become his wife….

and her, as she becomes his partner in life

It’s hard to even notice the hair and make-up with all that emotion going on. Never the less, let’s see what Lauren ( Design Visage artist) and Becky chose for her wedding beauty.

3773789519_cc6b05c469_o

Becky’s bridal hairstyle was a half updo adorned with a crystal flower from Design Visage’s Bridalmode. Lauren added hair extensions to add fullness and it also helps the style stay longer. Wedding make-up was sultry eyes and soft lips….don’t forget the eyelash extensions….the final touch.

3773789869_c4417450d4_o

Becky has a fun style about her….look at the dress…sassy red, and Dastuni’s red highlights….was it planned? Along with the blue girlie’s dresses….fun fun.
