Charlene’s Wedding

I’m back again! So sorry for taking a long break. It’s been a very busy year. I’ll be spending sometime updating my blog this week.

Starting with my very lovely bride Charlene who booked me with total confidence without requiring a trial. I met her for the first time on her wedding day.

I arrived at her prep location – Hylands house and started my set up while the hairstylist – Papachichi hair prepped her hair. When that was completed, I began her makeup.

Charleen has combination skin with a few pigmentation marks around her face.

Her skin was cleansed using Bioderma sensibio and moisturised with Embryolisse lait cream.

Her brows were filled in using Evita Joseph brow pencil and combed through with a clear brow gel to keep her brow hair in place. On her eyes, I used my custom built eye palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills. I tend to mix shades as I go along so it’s difficult to remember the actual shades used. The eyes were finished off with some lashes for added omph!

Going back to the skin, I applied Becca Ever matte primer on just her T-zones. Foundation used was Lancome Teint Idole in shades 11 & 12 followed by NARS creamy concealer in Caramel. This was set with Laura mercier loose setting powder in Translucent. To add definition to her face I used MAC mineralise skin finish in Deep dark followed by Becca shimmering skin perfector in Topaz.

On her lips I lined the outer edges with MAC lip liner in chestnut followed by a mix of Fenty beauty liquid lipstick in unbutton and uncuffed. This was finished off with MAC lipgloss in Nymphette.

Charleen was such a beauty to work with! Thank you so much for booking my services 🙂
