Chieme’s Wedding

Presenting my fabulous bride Chieme 🙂 I can’t even say her name without a big smile on my face. The most hilarious bride I’ve had this year. From the moment I spoke to her, I knew she was someone I would remember for a long time. I don’t even believe she actually knows how endearing and funny she is.

Chieme booked me this year without a trial for herself and bridesmaids. Her prep location was at The Marriot Hotel London.

I arrived on her wedding day with a member from my beauty team who went straight up to the bridesmaids room to work on them.

After setting up at the brides room and waiting for the hairstylist to finish prepping the hair ( Mary of Papachichi style) I began on the bride.

Chieme has oily skin and blemishes which she was very concerned about.

I gave her skin a good cleansing using Bioderma Micellar Water before filling in her brows using Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow definer in Dark brown.

Chieme really wanted her eyes to stand out, I prepped her eyelids using MAC paint pot in soft ochre. This enables whatever eyeshadow I put over it to really pop! Eyeshadows used were all MAC – Star Violet, Sushi flower, Shadowy lady, Embark, Swiss chocolate and Naked lunch.

Lashes used – OPV lashes in Vanity.

Moving onto the skin, I prepped it using Becca ever matte poreless priming perfector and foundation used was MAC full coverage foundation in NW45/NC50. Under her eyes was concealed using a mix of MAC prolong wear concealer in Nw40 and LA girl pro conceal in Fawn. This was set using RCMA no colour powder followed by MAC studio fix powder foundation for extra coverage.

At this point I handed her over to the stylist to finish off on her hair. Chieme saw herself for the first time in the mirror and her stunned reaction almost brought me to tears, she couldn’t believe the coverage I gave her which totally covered all her blemishes.

After Mary finished off on the hair, I resumed with dusting MAC blush in sweet as cocoa all over her cheeks with Bobbi brown shimmer brick in Bronze which was placed in strategic places on her face to give her that glow from within.

To finish off on the look, I firstly defined her lips using NYX slim pencil in dark brown and filling in with MAC lipstick in Half n half followed by NARS lipgloss in orgasm.

Chieme looked so beautiful!
