Moyo’s Wedding

My lovely bride – Moyo 🙂 An absolute pleasure to work with. She was a 2015 booking without a trial needed. We did meet some months to the wedding to pick out a look.

On the day I made my way to her prep location at Eastington Park while a member from my beauty team worked with the bridesmaids at a nearby hotel.

Starting her makeup, Moyo’s skin is normal but had dry patches. I cleansed her face before massaging in Embryolisse lait creme concentre all over her face and down her neck.

Her brows were filled in using MAC brow pencil in spiked and combed through with a clear brow gel to keep the hair in place.

On her eyelids I applied MAC paint pot in Soft ochre and created a gorgeous hue of champagne and rose gold to compliment her beautiful eyes. Shades used – Makeup geek cosmopolitan, MAC eyeshadows in Woodwinked, Swiss chocolate, and carbon. The eyes were finished off with some eyeliner and strip lashes – OPV Lashes – Exposed.

Moving to the skin, I primed using YSL Eclat blur primer and buffed in NARS All day luminous weightless foundation in a mix of Macao and Cadiz. To highlight under her eyes, using a damp beauty blender sponge, I applied Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer in shade 13. This was set using RCMA no colour loose powder. This was also used to set the rest of the face.

Her face was softly contoured using MAC studio fix powder in NW5o and highlighted using Becca shimmering skin perfector in Prosecco pop. Pamplemousse blush was applied to her cheeks and blended out.

Finally the lips, Moyo was torn between a nude pink shade or a red lip. She eventually selected red lips – MAC russian red lipstick. A stunning colour that complimented her skin tone.

Received this lovely message some days later…..

”Hi Joy, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and Esther (my assistant) for making me, my bridesmaids and mum look so beautiful on my wedding day at Eastington Park. You made me feel like a movie star on my day and I got so many people commenting on how flawless I looked. Thank you once again.

Ps if you don’t mind, I’ll put some photos up on Facebook and Instagram, will tag you as my makeup artist, so many people have been asking who my makeup artist is”
