Behind the Scenes Bridal Trends: Bridal Red Carpet Hair and Accessories to Match


We recently did a shoot for Bliss Magazine that featured some beautiful trends for spring brides.
With our cover model I made her skin flawless with one of my favorite new foundations by Graftiban high definition crème and I custom blended the colors for an exact match.  A crème blush, Ginger from our Studio 277 Cosmetic Bridal Collection allowed us to softly define her cheek bones without them being too chiseled.
We filled her brows softly with a blondish brown eye shadow and used velvety pastel colors on her lids; the concentration was strong liner to make her brown eyes sparkle.  We used a pink liner and deep pinkish coral lipstick along with a gold gloss for her lips.
We previously set her hair with hot rollers and went in with a curling iron to define the curl.  I am an advocate of soft red carpet hair so I manipulated the curls into a side bun and created a head bank from a belt we had in our wardrobe.  I wanted her to have a flapper look.  I also added on the fur vest for a slight flair.
When determining your makeup and hair look for your wedding day; think about the story you want to tell and how that will translate on to camera.  Don’t be afraid to go a little over the top, after all it is your special day!
Until next time, Stay Sexy, Soulful and Sophisticated
