Long-lasting makeup in heat, humidity and emotion
A summer or waterside wedding gives beautiful shots and tough conditions for makeup. Here is how I make it last from the morning application to the last dance.
It all starts with the skin
Well-prepped skin, hydrated but mattified in the T-zone, is the foundation of longevity. On oily or over-dry skin, no foundation will hold for twelve hours.
Layers, not a heavy mask
I work with thin, buildable layers and set them with carefully chosen products. The makeup feels light to the touch and is resistant to sweat, humidity and emotion at the same time.
Waterproof where it counts
The eye, meaning mascara and any lash clusters, has to survive happy tears. That is why I use waterproof formulas in the key areas so nothing smudges during the ceremony.
A touch-up kit
For the evening you get my tips and a small touch-up kit so your skin stays fresh to the end. And if you wish, I can stay with you longer and handle touch-ups in person.
