Day with me as a Bridal Artist🤍part 1

My students pay $600 for a private lesson to learn this exact bridal makeup look.

Here I’m sharing pieces of it with you for free 🤍

Enjoy a little behind-the-scenes of the process, products, and the soft bridal atmosphere.

Her reaction said it all 🤍 the moment she saw her bridal look for the first time was everything.

Let me know in the comments if this was helpful and if you learned something new 😌

Tattoo coverage isn’t about using more makeup it’s about understanding color theory, product formulas, and how different layers work together.

When done correctly, the result looks natural, seamless, and stays in place throughout the day without feeling heavy on the skin.

One of my favorite parts of being a makeup artist is using technical skills to create transformations that seem impossible at first glance✨

Would you have guessed there was a tattoo there before watching the video? 👀

Such a game changer 🙌🏻

The softest bridal glow, the sweetest group of girls, and a morning filled with laughter🤍
le was the definition of effortless femininity yesterday🕊️

From the moment we arrived, there was such a beautiful energy in the room her bridesmaids were incredible, everyone was supportive, excited, and genuinely enjoying every moment together.

This is exactly how a wedding morning should feel: joyful, relaxed, and full of love!

Moments like these are our favorite part of bridal beauty. It’s never just about hair and makeup it’s about being part of memories that will last forever and helping create an experience that feels just as beautiful as the photos.

Congratulations, Selena. You were absolutely breathtaking💍

Future brides, save this as your reminder: your wedding morning should feel just as beautiful as you look.

You can never have too much blush!🤭My favorite step, always!

My dear brides, the blush trend is definitely staying with us for this wedding season! 🌸💗

1. If this is your makeup inspo don’t just show the photo, say this clearly

“I want a soft glam bridal cat eye, lifted and elegant, not too dramatic”

That one sentence changes everything

Because winged eyes can mean sharp, heavy, retro, smoky, bold, or softly lifted

Words help your artist create the right version for your features

2. Here’s how to describe the eyes properly
“I’d love soft pink champagne shimmer on the lids with definition on the outer corners”

Think fresh brightness, not glitter overload
Soft depth, not dark heaviness
Light-catching sparkle, not chunky shine

And for liner: “Brown wing, lifted shape, blended outer corner, feminine and bridal”

Specific language creates better results than saying “just like this”

3. Skin matters as much as eyes

Say this: “I want flawless skin with a soft matte T-zone and glow around the face”

That means smooth, perfected skin through the center

But natural radiance on the cheeks, temples, and high points

Especially important for photos and long wear

Bridal skin should look polished where it needs control
And luminous where it brings life

4. Lips + blush should speak the same language

Tell your artist: “I want cool pink blush with glossy n**e pink lips that feel matched”

Not identical
Balanced

Then add: “Fresh cheeks, soft sculpting, juicy lips”

When lips and blush connect, the whole face looks refined and intentional

5. Don’t forget the brows they frame everything

Say this clearly: “I want feathered brows, softly filled, lifted with gel”

You want texture
Structure
Soft definition

Not harsh brows that overpower delicate bridal glam

Final truth: the most beautiful bridal looks happen when your artist gets direction, not just screenshots
