Weddings happen not just during Summer!

    I had a pleasure of meeting Jessica and Eric through a local photographer in town named David Tam.  The wedding was schedule to be in November 7th ( not quite Winter but Summer was definitely over).  We had the pre wedding pictures on the same day as her trial because they were worried that the weather wouldn't be too good on Nov 7th. Pre Wedding Pictures are great times to fit your trial in as you get a chance to see how your makeup shows up in real pictures ( not selfies).  It gives you a chance to change up any makeup or hair details before the big day.  As you can see the makeup from the pre wedding changed on the wedding date it self.  A bit more glamour and you can definitely see the makeup!.

I ♥ Wedding Season

Wedding Season is definitely  in full bloom~ I love being able to meeting brides who trust in me to perfect their makeup and hair look.  The time between the makeup artist and the bride is important as all eyes on the bride on the wedding date.  I believe communication is essential in creating the makeup and hair look.  Some tips  I would recommend for brides when hiring the makeup artist

-Do you research, do they have a website  or social media account
-How is their repor among other brides/clients ( reviews/testimonials and referrals are great)
-How responsive are they ( emails, phone calls etc-,I make it #1 priority to respond within mins or an hour or so )
-Lastly how  does the makeup look in pictures (its all about pictures on the wedding!)

I have a few spaces left for 2014 and also started booking into 2015~

Motives Makeup

Recently I got the chance to try Motives Cosmetics by my friend Stefanie *waves*.  Motives is a makeup company located in the states which is known for their great colours, incredible pigments and it seems like alot of Instagram users have been raving about this!

I got to try the " Intelligent " Eyeshadow Trio which is great for my brown eyes, Its a mixture of 3 colours, pink, maroony and a deeper purple.  This is a great palette for Asian Eyes at weddings ;)















The other product I tried was " Manhattan" lipstick a true red lipstick.  I haven't found a lipstick that suits my skin tone in a while but this one does it just right!. I'm ready to paint the town Red now~

For any questions on Motives Cosmetics, don't forget to hit up Stefanie as shes wonderful and can answer all your questions!..

Trying a New Mascara

I want to give Tiffany a big shout out for having me try this new mascara. Tiffany was kind enough to introduce to be a new mascara called " Younique Mood Struck 3D Fiber Lashes", its a 3 step process which give you lashes a 300% increase.

You use the green tea transparent gel first to coat you lashes followed by the " fibers" then you seal the fibers with the green tea gel again.   I was quite concerned with this mascara at first as I didn't see any results but after a few times you can see my lashes are significantly alot longer and thicker =). They worked perfect for my Asian Eyes =) <3

 If any of you want to try give Tiffany a shout and she can def give you some pointers and tips, shes great!  For those on Instagram her handle is here 

Have any of you used this mascara and what are you thoughts?
