To play up the model's blue eyes, I used a bright coral eye shadow by MAC

I've been working with some LA based jewelry lines lately, and Urban Gem is one I think is the best for everyday. We did this shoot in many LA Downtown locations, a few which were not so safe but they made for great moods!
Meaghan Rose, the founder of Urban Gem, searches out for the best pieces and material she think hip, urban women will love. No matter your style, you are sure to find something that fits your unique fashion identity. I think she did a great job!

Thanks to Callaway Gable for sending me these pictures! Brian & Allie are so fun to work with, whether it's a wedding, boudoir or fashion shoot. I highly recommend them.

This model got her golden glow with MAC's Matte Bronzer

She's all color! Jane Iredale Light Bronzer & a MAC blue eyeshadow give her a summery, ethnic look

It started a year ago or so, when former classmates began contacting me for their wedding makeup and hair. It never occurred to me when I got into this business that so many people from my past would resurface, and instead of trading notes, I'd be a part of their most precious memory: the wedding day.

These wedding pictures are from Ryan's blog , and show the high energy and copious amounts of love between Valerie and Lidan. Coordination and Flowers were done beautifully by Kelly Leonard.

My favorite picture of her- What a smile!

I had the pleasure of meeting my bride, Maria, on Wednesday Aug 31st for her makeup trial...and on the following Saturday we did her wedding makeup!

Maria is a beautiful woman and knew exactly what colors complemented her fair skin and blonde hair, so we wasted no time discussing all her options. She had a beautiful palette of metallics, bronze, and copper. I used NARS eye shadows, Makeup Forever HD Foundation, and Jane Iredale powder to set.
I've never had a bride so keen on what she wanted and easy to work with!

We got ready at the Standard Hotel in dtLA, close to her Disney Concert Hall ceremony site. She had a fabulous hair team doing perfect up-dos while I took care of the makeup!
