My first bridal consultation

So a few weeks ago I did my first bridal consultation for one of my sister's best friends. I have to admit, when we started I felt like I should have paid more attention in my bridal makeup classes haha. After a while everything came back to me and I was able to get everything going!

Kate (the bride to be) doesn't regularly wear makeup so we took a very natural approach to her look, which I like to think is my specialty. We started with some basic skin correction and concealing and applied a light layer of liquid foundation and powder to fix a few imperfection. Luckily Kate has good skin so it was quick and easy to work with! We also decided on a nice plum colour for her eyes to give it a smokey look without too much drama. As her lips are naturally a bit dark, I simply applied a bit of wine red to bring them out a bit more without taking too much attention away from her eyes.

A few weeks before the wedding we'll be doing a second consultation, but I'd like to say that this one was a success. I can't wait! :)
