A modern whimsical twist on a powder blue vintage eye look 🦋

NOT a classic bridal look, but when you are the bride, you get to have fun and bring your own vision to life! I’ve actually had a look like this requested before, and I’ve seen a small trend of vintage blue eyeshadow looks coming up…

And honestly, it’s so fun! I loved getting to play around with something outside of the norm!

Rachel ROCKED THIS look with her complimentary red hair! Her eyes were popping 💙🧡🙌🏼

Swipe to see my old work! 😆

When Brianna (Illinois Bridal Hair Specialist ✧ 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓪 𝓔𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓮) showed me the type of curly haired model she was looking for I IMMEDIATELY thought of Viviana and had to ask her! She was the perfect fit 🙌🏼

AND one of my OG makeup clients!! 😉 I did her makeup many times for showchoir or school dances… These pictures are from homecoming in October 2014…. Exactly 12 YEARS ago!! Wild!

I’ve wanted to be a makeup artist since I was 14, so all through high school I was booking makeup for dances, which is so fun to look back on, and see how I’ve evolved!

Still to this day though, Viviana is so beautiful she barely needs any foundation!! And she LOVED how light and weightless the makeup felt 🙌🏼☺️

Brianna always kills it at hair!! 🔥😍 I love working with her, and she captured a great shot of the makeup with the hair!

The volume on those front pieces!!! 👌👌

When it comes to bridal hair, the smallest details often make the biggest impact ✨

A lot of updo inspiration photos focus on the back of the hairstyle, but I always pay close attention to the front. After all, those are the angles seen most throughout a wedding day. In the mirror while getting ready, in candid moments with your bridesmaids, walking down the aisle, and in so many of the photos you’ll look back on for years to come.

The goal is never just a beautiful hairstyle…it’s creating something that brings attention to the innate beauty of whoever is sitting in my chair 🤍

Makeup

Bridesmaid in ‘23 ➡️ Bride in ‘26! (check out the last pic for her glowy look in 2023 😍✨)

I was obsessed with Ashton’s bridesmaid makeup I did in 2023, and even though some time had passed, Ashton thought of me first and investigated to find me & see if I could be her makeup artist again! I’m so glad it worked out ☺️

Ashton didn’t have a specific vision for her makeup look, she really trusted me! But she did like it glowy and semi natural looking. With her dress being so elegant and her wedding colors being pink, plus the natural pink tones in her skin, I suggested pulling more pinks into the look and making it a bit more glam to elevate the look with the dress and hair. I love how it all came together 🤩

Ashton has a great eye for design, and she’s also a budding flower shop owner & florist near Macomb, IL! 🌸💐 follow her!
