Bride Nancy.. a Natural Beauty!

I remember meeting Nancy at a Wedding show almost a year ago... how time flies!

Many of the brides I encounter have the same concern as Nancy did regarding her makeup for her wedding day. This concern is that they don't want to look too "made up". This can be very scary for brides who don't wear a lot, or sometimes any makeup on a regular basis. Why, all of a sudden, would you cake on a ton of makeup and colour to look completely different on your wedding day?

The last thing you want is for your groom not to recognize you walking down the isle! lol

With Nancy, my goal was to give her a look that enhanced her natural beauty. I stayed very neutral with her colour pallet, using champagne, and earthy browns on the eyes and peach cheeks and lips.

The most important thing to remember for any bride is that regardless of the amount of makeup you usually wear, a professional makeup artist will be able to bridge the gap between the look you want and the type of "camera ready" application necessary for the most photographed day of your life!

I absolutely LOVE this photo of Nancy and her Hubby Bill... thanks to "my" Nancy of nbphotos

for these stunning images!

Hugs and Happiness Always.... Crystal xo

IMATS & meeting Kandee Johnson!

So for those who are asking "what the heck is IMATS?" it is the

International Makeup Artists Trade Show!

And why, you may ask, is there a photo of my wristband?! lol

Well I'm ashamed to say that I took ZERO photos while at the trade show! Why? 'Cause it was INSANE there!!!

For all of you that know me, even a little, you know that my attention span is non existent when surrounded by bright, flashy, sparkly goodness! There were great classes and speakers AND even better deals!!! lol So much makeup... sooooo little time! (I've definitely got to start an IMATS fund for next year).

Now, if the IMATS weren't enough... I was ridiculously excited to be able to attend the last EVER "Glaminar" workshop presented by my new found FAVE makeup artist Kandee Johnson.

This workshop was so informative and inspiring, I'm still mentally processing through all the information she shared with us.

It was an absolute honour to meet Kandee, though I was slightly embarrassed to admit to her that I had only been following her you tube channel for about 2 weeks. There were some big time Kandee fans there and they were awesome! I LOVE being surrounded by open minded and artistic people that are so passionate about what they do. What an amazing way to spend my Sunday!

Keep checking back for posts about some of my new favourite products from IMATS!

I can't wait for their wedding in December! Not only do I get to prep Amy and her girls for the wedding but I also get to be with them all day!!! So excited!

Stay tuned for photos from their winter wedding!

Kim & Mike's Wedding!

Kim was such an awesome bride to work with! She and her hubby Mike are so laid back, as was their bridal party, that it made the entire day so very relaxing (even if we were dodging cars in they ally way during photos!).

Kim opted for a very classic bridal look with a little more "oomph" with a warm red lipstick... MY kinda gal!!!
Kim and her sisters each have very different personal styles which makes each of them so stunning!

I had an absolute blast getting everyone ready and spending the day doing photo styling and makeup touch ups... I have the BEST job!

Wishing you and your beautiful family absolute happiness... always!

Hugs... Crystal xo

Kali & Mike's Engagement!

It's not everyday that I have the opportunity to work with a fellow redhead, so when I first met the fabulous Kali you could say I was a just little bit excited! Lol

I absolutely adore Kali's personal style and was so happy that she loved the natural makeup application for her engagement session with Nancy of nbphotos.

As you can tell from the photo below, Kali and Mike are all about fun. I'm so excited be a part of their upcoming Wedding day!

Stay tuned for a slightly more Glam version of Kali for her November wedding!

Until then... stay Fabulous!
