Sabrina's Sweet & Sultry Wedding Look!



      In high school you could often find me giving makeovers to all my best girlfriends. I may even have been on a few parent's hit lists after bleaching their daughter's hair! My friend Sabrina was one of my favorite people to work with, she had thick gorgeous hair and was always willing try something new and exciting with her style or beauty routine. Plus Sabrina always seemed to exude a mellow calm attitude while still being adventurous and cool. As young girls we had so much fun playing dress up and experimenting with the latest makeup trends so I'm sure you can imagine my delight when she contacted me about helping her create her look for her wedding! Weddings are such sacred and important days filled with love which is why it is so important to me that a bride look her absolute best! Sabrina sent me lots of fantastic inspiration photos to help me carry out the hair and makeup she wanted to achieve. The day of her wedding shower (and our trial run) we went with a bold red lip along with structured brows and a winged cat eye complimented by fresh flowers in her hair. I thought she looked ridiculously lovely and happy at the end of our time together and I was even more impressed with Sabrina's demeanor now than I was when we were in high school! On the precipice of marriage, just hours before she needed to be dazzling for her wedding shower, and dealing with all the stress and scrutiny that being a bride  can entail.... Sabrina still maintains that same sense of serenity and adventure that she always did. I can tell by her demeanor that Sabrina's marriage will endure anything with her strong and kind character traits. I just hope that I can create a look for her actual wedding that is as amazing and gorgeous as she is! 










Sabrina's Wedding Look







Matthew Williamson hair comb accessory, $190 / Make Up For Ever / Lancôme / MAC Cosmetics / Christian Dior waterproof mascara / MAC Cosmetics , $22 / MAC Cosmetics / Diptyque / Bobbi Brown Cosmetics / Benefit nail polish, $25 / TRESemmé styling product / Pier One Peony Bouquet - Cream / Henri Bendel Round Bobby Pin Pearl Set


      I always strive to make the wedding makeup experience more enjoyable for any bride-to-be. Using my most loved, tried and true products is a must and there is no question over whether to use waterproof mascara or not! As a finishing touch, I love to bring several samples of fragrances with me for the bride to pick and choose from as well as offer her a dab of indulgent hand cream. With all the hand holding, hand shaking, and ring wearing one does on their big day... you want to make sure your paws are hydrated and elegant enough to display a sentimental ring! 
      For Sabrina's actual wedding day we plan on doing things a little differently so be sure to stay tuned! 


Yours,
Nico

  8. Great job on the cat eye! I still can't master this with liquid liner, love the something extra pieces, so nice that you bring fragrance and hand cream. Getting my make-up done by someone else is on my to-do list.
