Sheryl’s Wedding

I first met Sheryl at a Wedding Show. I was a guest speaker and she approached me after my presentation. We spoke briefly regarding her wedding and I gave her my details to get in touch.

Sheryl initially did not want a trial but having had a trial which ended up a disaster she was quite anxious and I wanted to keep her mind at peace. So we did have a consultation session and it did settle her mind.

On her wedding day I arrived at her prep location in Richmond. Hair was done by Crystal Nwokia.

I began her makeup with my cleansing and hydrating routine. Sheryl has combination skin.

On her eyebrows I used Evita Joseph brow pencil in Chestnut brown and MAC brow pencil in spiked. This was set with a clear brow gel.

Laying low paint pot was used to prep the eyelids followed by the following shades all by MAC – Swiss chocolate, Embark, Amber lights, Woodwinked and Carbon. Sheryl tears up easily so I used just Ingot gel liner in 77 to line both top lid and water line.

Sheryl already had individual lashes fitted so I didn’t use any lashes.

To prep her skin I used Charlotte Tilbury Wonder glow all over the face followed by Becca Ever matte primer used on just her T-zones to control shine. LA girl pro conceal in orange was used to colour correct pigmentations across her face followed by Lancome Teint Idole foundation in the shades 15 and 16. To highlight under her eyes I used Kevyn Aucoin The Etherealist Super natural concealer in the shade 9 followed by Laura Mercier loose setting powder in Medium deep to set.

The rest of the face was set using MAC studio fix powder in NW50 and 55. I contoured just her nose using NW58. I then added colour to her face MAC blush in Raizin followed by Becca shimmering skin perfector in Topaz.

On her lips, I started with MAC lip liner in chestnut followed by MAC lipstick in Taupe and finished up with MAC lipgloss in Nymphette.

How beautiful does Sheryl look? Thank you so much for being such an amazing client! God bless!
