Asgeir fotographica/Ruth Wang Wedding Coordinator/Wedding Hair and Make-up

Posted inBeautiful Brides,Indian Ceremonys

I am so excited to present these photos of Pooja. A fun part of Indian Weddings is all the color and jewels. Design Visage Lauren did amazing wedding hair and makeup

Wedding Makeup:

With all the color and jewels, Pooja was able to wear quite a smoky eye. Lauren of Design Visage used shades of burgundy, cream and gold. She lined Pooja’s eye with a black gel liner around the entire eye. She added a bit of glittery gold under the eye to frame the black liner and make it pop. Lauren added a Merlot color lipstick with a clear gloss and it’s perfect.

Wedding Hairstyle:

Lauren first did a part in front of Pooja’s hair to place the Tikka. Then she styled the rest back and created a soft intricate back hairstyle. It was elegant and clean, although very feminine. How Lauren created this was curling all of Pooja’s hair with a 1 inch iron and creating a base in the back of her head and styling all the hair into the base, very loose.

I love these photos and they were kindly provided by Asgeir Fotographica and coordinated by our friend Ruth Wang.


Thanks again:

Wedding Day Makeover/TLC/Design Visage

Posted inIndian Ceremonys,TV Brides,Wedding Day Makeover on TLC

Behind the scenes with Priya, the whole story


This week on Wedding Day Makeover on TLC, aired the episode with TV bride Priya. We asked Design Visage stylist Lauren to tell us the real scoop.

Interesting the whole story you see on TV lasts less than 15 minutes. Do you know they filmed over 15 hours. So as you can imagine, there is  much that happens that you did not see.

Lauren: ” I style over 100 brides per year, but I was afraid of Priya. Before I met her the owner of Design Visage, Caren, told me that Priya was a newscaster and had a professional makeup and hair artist everyday. Caren also told me that Priya said on the phone that she was very picky and difficult to please. I was nervous to meet her, and especially since it was my first bride for “Wedding Day Makeover”. I did not know what to expect and now it was going to be with a difficult bride. I made sure to wear a top that would not show any sweat beads! Just in case.

Priya knew exactly want she wanted and was not going to let either her mother or her friend that came to the preview sway her in any way. The preview took a lot of time, much that was not on TV. I did a few looks that she just hated and I became worried that I was not going to find her “look” and with the entire filming crew watching. With the grace of God, the very last look gave Priya, she loved it.

On the wedding day, I was still concerned. Priya has the type of personality to change her mind. Fortunately she loved it. But she micro managed every step. She had a mirror and watched each move I made and gave her two cents. Then at one point she saw her mother with makeup and jumped out of the chair and said, with cameras rolling “I hate it” Apparently Priya was not used to her mother looking that glamorous and did not think her wedding day was the best day for that change. In the end Priya and all the girls including mom looked so beautiful and were very happy.

In the end Lauren had a great time with Priya and her wedding.

You can catch Lauren and the other Design Visage stylists on Wedding Day Makeover weekdays at 11:30 and 5:30
