I had the opportunity to do makeup for Marliece & her bridal party a couple weeks ago. She by far was one of the most nicest brides I've ever worked with! It was refreshing to work with her & her bridal party. I have more pictures on digital camera, but since that's acting up, I have to settle showing pictures my sister took on her phone. Sorry for the quality, I'll try to post better pictures soon!
Marliece - the gorgeous bride!
Foundation: Artistry Absolute Oil-Control Foundation in Ebony
I did a gold/bronze look & kicked up look with some demi #120 lashes. I used a dark rosy red blush on her cheeks & lastly, gave her a neutral lip.
Ariel - one of Marliece's bridesmaids
Foundation: Artistry Absolute Oil-Control Foundation in Almond
I did a peachy/light bronze look on her & instead of using a black liner, I wanted to soften up the look with a dark brown eyeliner + eyeshadow. For blush, I used a peachy color & for her lips, I did a light mauve color.
Ariel & Salina - Here's Ariel again & Salina, another one of Marliece's bridesmaids
Foundation: Artistry Absolute Oil-Control Foundation in Hazelnut
For Salina, I used a lighter shade of gold & used a light bronze eyeshadow on her crease. Used a rosy color on cheeks & for her lips, I did a neutral color.
I wish I had better pictures of everyone,
but hopefully I'll get some sometime soon!
