A quiet moment before the “I do.” 🤍

There’s something so special about those little moments on a wedding day that belong only to the bride and groom. Away from the excitement, the guests, and the cameras — just the two of them, taking it all in.

And of course, our job is making sure she feels absolutely beautiful for every one of those moments. ✨

Bridal makeup that feels like you — polished, beautiful, and made to last through the day.

Eyebrows can really change your overall look. If they are too thick they can drown your eyes. The right brow shape can add length and definition to your face. We are here for all of your waxing needs.

A beautiful bride, her favorite people, and so much joy! 🤍
I love these moments when everyone can just relax, laugh, and enjoy being together. This bridal party was all smiles as they celebrated such a special day in front of the beautiful Indiana War Memorial.

Last weekend, Dad and I took the tractor and trailer out for a church block party and gave hay rides. I just love this tractor—it was the first tractor I ever drove. I’ve been driving it since I was a little kid, 🚜

1. Don’t Try Anything New:
Avoid experimenting with new skincare products or makeup formulas close to your wedding day. Stick to what you know works well with your skin to prevent any allergic reactions or breakouts.
2. Don’t Overdo Trends:
While it’s tempting to follow current makeup trends, remember that timeless elegance often outshines trendy looks. Opt for a classic, sophisticated makeup style that will stand the test of time.
3. Don’t Rush the Makeup Application:
Allow enough time for your makeup: So many brides want to wait until the last minute to do their makeup. Plan to have your makeup application finished hours before you walk down the aisle. A professional makeup artist uses long lasting makeup and will use a sealer to prolong the makeup to last all day and night. This is a high emotion and high stress day. Adding extra time in your “get ready time” schedule really helps reduce stress and makes things run smoothly.
4. Don’t forget your Neck:
Ensure your makeup seamlessly blends into your neck area to avoid a noticeable line of demarcation in photographs. This creates a cohesive and polished look.
5. Don’t forget about the Sun and Tan Lines:
We recommend staying out of the sun for a couple weeks before your wedding. You don’t want to be be burnt and red or further along on a sunburn and be peeling on your big day. If you are in the sun in the months leading up to your wedding be thinking of tan lines. What are you wearing and will those lines be covered by your dress?

When I’m not doing makeup, you can usually find me working with my dad!

Last week we put in this drive and parking area for a new business that’s moving into this building. 🚜

Soft glam for a love story that speaks for itself.

6 Essential Wedding Makeup Tips to Look Flawless on Your Big Day.
1. Do a Makeup Trial:
Schedule a makeup trial several months before your wedding day. Before your trial, look online at makeup looks you like and that compliment your features.  You  can discuss them with your artist at your trial .   We would love to work with you on your wedding look.  
2. Skin prep:
Start with a skincare routine well in advance to ensure your skin is hydrated and in optimal condition for makeup application. Cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize regularly to create a smooth canvas.
3. Opt for Long-lasting Formulas:
Choose makeup products that are long-lasting and waterproof to ensure your makeup stays fresh throughout the day and night, despite tears, sweat, and kisses.
4. Enhance Your Natural Features:
Focus on enhancing your best features. Whether it’s your eyes, lips, or cheekbones, a professional makeup artist will know how to accentuate what makes you uniquely beautiful.  
5. Match Makeup with Lighting:
Consider the lighting of your wedding venue. Different lighting (natural sunlight, indoor lighting, evening ambiance) can affect how makeup appears in photographs. Your makeup artist will adjust shades and textures accordingly.
6. Take Photos After:
Take photos after your makeup trial to see how it translates on camera and in different lighting conditions. This helps ensure you’ll look amazing in every shot on your wedding day.
