With the blooming flowers and beautiful Spring weather also comes wedding season! I've been busy working with my Spring and upcoming Summer brides, but also got a chance to work again last week with the company Happily Ever Borrowed for their bridal photo shoot! I had the pleasure of working with them on a shoot this past December, along with hairstylist Lauren DeCosimo and photographer Casey Fatchett. Happily Ever Borrowed is an e-commerce boutique that rents accessories to brides for their wedding day! They have many stunning pieces, including headpieces, necklaces, earrings, sashes, and veils. It's a fabulous idea as most brides buy these items and only wear them once!
For last week's shoot, I decided to go with soft, pretty makeup looks for Spring on models Courtney and Mary Beth. On Mary Beth, I wanted to focus more on the gold and peach tones. All over her eyelid I used a shadow from MAC called Patina, a light taupe with a gorgeous golden sheen (a bridal favorite!). I also used a bit of MAC's soft brown to define her crease and a bit of Naked Lunch to highlight the inner corners of the eye and the brow bone. On her lips, I used a peachy cremesheen lipstick from MAC called Ravishing. 
On Courtney, I went with more plum colors on the eyes, another color scheme that looks gorgeous on a bride. I used one of my favorite MAC eyeshadows, Shale (a plummy mauve with a bit of silver shimmer), all over the lid and Sketch (a deep plum) to give some depth in the outer corners. I also used a bit of Phloof in the inner corners to highlight and to define the eyes even more, I used MAC's eye kohl pencil in Prunella on the waterline. On her lips, I used Viva Glam II from MAC, a lovely mid-toned nude, with some Deelight lipgloss on top.
Although these are perfect looks for any Spring or Summer bride, they work for any special occasion too! Have fun playing!! ;)
