Strolling through the park, I began to notice the changing colors on the leaves of many trees. Champagne, golden poppy, and burnt umber amidst luscious forest greens. The beautiful setting gave me an idea of a bridal look for fall. I'd chosen a shimmery peach shadow as the base, then added a persimmon color shadow at the end of the crease and followed with a bright mustard on the front of the crease and blended with a shimmery champagne to soften the entire look. The brow bone was highlighted with a white pearl to give definition to the eyes. For the cheeks, a rosy peach accented the model's fair skin. The look was finished with a nude lip color and golden pearl lip gloss. The outcome was soft but the bright mustard made the look quite unique. It gave a sense of what brides today look for, natural yet modern.
Many brides love to get a manicure and pedicure for their wedding day. But too often we see the same old French manicures. I'm a huge fan of nail art and gel nails so I figured I'd post some photos to inspire brides to try doing something special for their wedding day. Nail art or gel nails doesn't have to be unnatural, in fact, one of my favorite design is gel French manicure with one rhinestone placed along the white edge. There are many, many designs that are appropriate for wedding day. A beige polish with white lace design looks beautiful against an ivory gown. I also recommend gel nails because it lasts so much better than regular manicures and stays very shiny. Gel nails are not much different from acrylic nails, technicians may tell you it's different but gel IS a type of acrylic, it's liquid acrylic so it's softer and easier to remove.
