As I mentioned in an earlier post, MDC decided to add a third day to the shoot, so I happily went back to Carlo Llano’s studio yesterday to work with six more students. Another great day at work and the nicest people to chat with!
Miami Dade College Photo Shoot Day Three

Jessica Becomes A Blushing Bride
July 27th, 2010On Saturday I had the pleasure of doing the makeup for an adorable blushing bride named Jessica. Her wedding was at a Ft. Lauderdale landmark, The Bahia Mar Hotel. Another destination wedding, I finally got to meet the bride and her mother the week before the wedding and knew immediately that they were going to be an easy going, happy family to work with. And was I right! I did the makeup for the bride, her lovely mother Sheryl, and her two matrons-of-honor
The photographer was Jeff Kolodny and the videographer was Jason Chandler of JC Video Production.
Jessica is not a big makeup person, but wanted her eyes to be the focus of her bridal makeup look. I started by playing up her newly enhanced tan, and added a few extra hours of sleep to her appearance with Bridal Veil Concealer in shade#3 by The Blushing Bride Cosmetics. On her eyes I used The Blushing Bride Cosmetics eyeshadows in “Ivory Lace”, Wedding Bells” and “Tuxedo” mixed with “Black Tie” for a soft but defined look. A few individual false lashes finished off a look that made Jessica’s eyes sparkle.
To keep the attention on her eyes, her cheeks were kept very natural, dusted with The BBC’s blush in “Always A Bridesmaid” topped with a bit of glow from Floral Shimmer Bouquet in “Honeymoon Glow.” To complete this blushing bride’s look, “Touch” lipliner and “Bliss” lipgloss by The BBC to make her smile shine.
Miami Dade College Photo Shoot
July 27th, 2010I took a few weeks off the beginning of July, but last week spent two days as the makeup artist for a photo shoot for Miami Dade College. This was the third time they have called on me for this project, and I always enjoy working with photographer Carlos Llano. The models are actual students in the Honor’s College, and they are all incredibly bright. The photos end up being used everywhere, including the sides of city buses. The students always get a kick out of seeing a giant image of themselves driving all around downtown Miami! I will try to get copies of the final prints, but here is a sample of the first two days work (a third day has been scheduled for tomorrow and I will post about that soon.)

My mother-in-law is obsessed with your “I Do” lipstick so I just ordered her 2 more off the website. Thanks again — you were such an absolute joy to work with and I appreciate everything.
