Dinner at Isabella's Judge Marsha Slough - Redlands magazine

artists are often scheduled well in
advance. During the consultation,
ask about the artist’s skill level.
Also, think about how easy it will
be to work with her. It’s important
to have an artist who will come up
with a look that both the artist
and bride can be proud of.
On the biggest day of a bride’s
life, she will want a makeup artist
who is experienced, timely and
professional. A seasoned pro can
customize a look and give the
bride star treatment, leaving her
one less thing to worry about.

Beauty tips
For brides who will be doing their own makeup
for the big day, here are some basic suggestions
that are sure to help.
Eyes: Start with a special eye-shadow base,
or concealer, all over the lid to hold the color in
place for the day and also blend well. Use fluffier
brushes for the mid-toned eye-shadow colors in
the highest part of the crease.
If a more dramatic look is desired, use smaller,
detail brushes to add smoky accents to the outer
corners of the eye, along the bottom lash line,
and even to the deeper crease. To finish, sweep
highlighter shadows under the brow line and
press them into the lid area, directly over the iris,
for a “pop.”
Smoky eyes are achieved by lining the eyes
with a very sharp pencil right on top of the lash
line and sometimes the inner rims. Be careful to
follow the lash line exactly and keep the line thin.
Individual false lashes, or an understated row
of lashes will bring density to the lash line and
minimize the need for mascara.
Face: Apply concealer to spot cover dark
circles and skin irregularities prior to foundation
application. Apply the correct shade of foundation
to the middle of the face, blending out and down.
(Pressed Mineral Foundation is optimal here for
ease of use and performance.) Liquid foundations
must be set with loose translucent powder for
staying power.
Cheeks: Powdered blush is dusted lightly to
“apples” of the cheek, while bronzer (a pro-artist
favorite) will bring a sun-kissed look to the face,
neck and chest. It can be used under blush or
over blush. It’s also fantastic for arms and legs!
Lips: They are most often kept neutral to
balance out the eyes.
One more note: Take along a few key items
for last-minute touch-ups. Don’t leave home without
blot powder compact to absorb any shine
break-through on the face. For lip color
re-touches, carry lip liner, lipstick and gloss in
the original colors used. And, in a pinch, bronzer
with retractable brush can do the trick for a
quick touch of color for face or body.
