As a bridal makeup artist, my goal is to create an image of classic beauty that is both breathtaking and photogenic and still "touchable" up close. Regardless of age, each bride should look flawless without looking like she's wearing too much makeup. At the end of the day, she should look as amazing in photos as she does to her groom who is standing only inches away from her face.

Bridal makeup incorporates the same techniques used for print, film and television, yet applied with a soft touch, utilizing products that have more pigment but less density, therefore looking natural up close.
A more natural, glowing look flatters the bride in her 20's and 30's. A more neutral look is most flattering on brides over 40.

Natural makeup brings to mind the idea of a fresh faced, healthy glow. Neutral makeup is achieved when the makeup artist reaches into his or her bag of tricks and applies techniques of glamour makeup while "pulling back" on the tendency to "color in" the features. Using soft washes of color with monochromatic tones, an artist can achieve a most striking affect.
