Halloween 2017 – Edmonton Makeup Artist
When your mom is a makeup artist, you are ready for any occasion. Especially Halloween!! Hehehe I absolutely love Halloween because I can go all out on the makeup part. My 5yr old daughter is always down to get her makeup done, she really is her mother’s daughter. lol This year we decided we wanted to be zombies and that we were!! Enjoy!! Lol
My niece wanted to be a reindeer for Halloween. Aunty Lily delivered or what!? Bambi who?!! Lol
Mature Makeup – Edmonton Makeup Artist
Mature makeup at its finest for a photoshoot. I filled in her eyebrows which made a huge difference in framing the face and eyes! Then I paired the brows with a smokey eye and tamed those eye bags and then kept everything else pretty neutral so her eyes would be the main focus. Who says older women can’t wear a smokey eye?!
Asian Eyes – Edmonton Asian Makeup Artist
Asian eyes can be quite challenging when it comes to makeup, especially when doing a smokey eye on mono lids.
Most are afraid to use too much dark eyeshadow or too much eyeliner because it will make your eyes look even smaller.
But if done right, a dark smokey eye can look super sexy & sultry and definitely enhance the shape of Asian eyes.👌

Nicola – Edmonton Wedding Makeup Artist
One of my brides was featured on the knot.com! Nicola envisioned a classic yet romantic makeup look. She wanted a slightly bolder lip to go with a medium brown smokey eye. Everything turned out perfect!
I also had the pleasure of doing the mother of the bride’s makeup and also, the maid of honor’s makeup too. (Nicola’s sister)

Last month I had the pleasure of working on a video shoot with http://www.chrisbernardphotography.com for mamachic.com. It was a longgg day but so much fun!!! Will share the video once it’s completed!!

3 Weddings in 1 Day – Edmonton Wedding Makeup Artist
Last weekend was a crazy one… Look how long it took me to do a blog post about it! I’m still recovering! #canthang #gettingold 😂😂
I had 3 weddings to do back to back to back. 10 clients and 10 hours later I made it out alive! Yay! 🙌 #hallejulah
Some pics from my crazy day:
My day started with a 6am car #selfie of course! 😆
#selfie with the beautiful bride #1! 👌😍 We were so rushed that I didn’t take any other pics of anyone else. 😦
Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics of the 2nd wedding party as well because we were so short on time. Again. #weddingproblems
#girlproblems actually lol
3rd wedding was the beautiful Jessica’s! I wish the sun wasn’t glaring though ugh.
HAIR & MAKEUP BY ME.
I don’t do updos but if you would like voluminous Victoria Secret model curls, I’m your girl! 😆😆;);)
After a long day’s work nothing like taking my face off 😨😨 😨 and settling down with my #greensmoothie. 👍🌇🌒
Kim’s Wedding – Edmonton Wedding Makeup Artist
Kim’s big day started bright and early. I loathe waking up so early for weddings but I love what I do so it’s worth it!
3 of the 6 ladies I worked on this past Saturday including the beautiful bride in her gorgeous traditional Vietnamese dress! So so beautiful!
Kim decided she wanted to go lighter on the eyes on her wedding day compared to what we did at the bridal trial. So I did a light smokey eye on her with no eyeliner on the lower waterline, just shadow.
That’s why I can’t stress enough how bridal trials are so important. It’s like buying a new car without test driving it first 😉 You might be so set on a certain ‘look’ for your special day that you don’t realize that it might not work with your skintone, eye shape, face shape, eye color, etc etc.
At Kim’s bridal trial 2 weeks ago, she wanted to try a medium-dark smokey eye with a neutral lip. She looked smokin’ don’t get me wrong (check out her bridal trial pics in my previous post) but after wearing it the whole day and taking her engagement pictures with the makeup on, she decided that the eye makeup was a little too dark than what she was used to and she wanted to go lighter on the eyes for her wedding day. And nothing wrong with that!
Imagine if we didn’t do a bridal trial and I did the darker smokey eye on her actual wedding day. She would have seen the pictures after the wedding was over and wished we went lighter on the eyes but guess what- too late! That would suck right?! If you’re not comfortable with how your makeup looks it’ll definately show and that’s no good! So bride-to-be’s, definately book a bridal trial if you can!!
Kim’s wedding day makeup turned out so perfect, I wish we had better lighting to capture the makeup on my phone. She looked SO SO pretty and I’m not just saying that cuz I did her makeup! lol I’m hoping I can get some professional pictures from Kim when she gets them!
And of course, a #selfie with my gorgeous bride! Thank you for letting me be part of your special day! Even though I had to wake up at the crack of dawn and my eyes were all bloodshot and I was tired as hell and super cranky and took it out on my kids and slept the whole next day ❤
