TIPS TEUSDAY : Trust you Artist


When you are getting yourself all done up and pretty, it is important to trust your artist and trust their recommendations.  You will make the decision and hopefully get a good qualified makeup artist, to make you even more beautiful.  Be clear to what your vision is, and communicate that to the artist so they have a clear picture of what you are looking for.  When you bring pictures to your artist, remember the chances are you don't look exactly like model, and might have different features, so when the artist recommends are slightly different shade trust them to make the look work best for you.  And remember to relax and enjoy!

THURSDAY TUTORIAL - Medevil Inspired Braids



It's not surprising the hairstyles of the Medieval period lie in stark contrast to today's hair trends The hair technology of the Medieval period was extremely minimal and women relied on the most basic of styling techniques.

However, if you are set on attempting a genuine period-authentic recreation of a Medieval hairstyle, you may need to take into account certain fashions trends of the 5th through 14th centuries that had a vast impact on women's hair styles.



Wedding Wednesdays - Top Tips - Where to start




1. Set up your Guest list first

The first checkpoint to cross is getting your guest list.  The approximate number of guests will guide you, to find many other decisions much easier.  Like choosing a venue, and how big your wedding will end up being.  Make sure there is enough space for guests to move around.  Remember when picking a venue the space may seem open, but if all the tables are set up, you’ve got a DJ going, food tables are set up, the space becomes significantly smaller.


2. Investigate Wedding Blackout Dates

Know ahead of time if your wedding date falls on the same day as a trade conference, charity walk, or other local event that could affect traffic and hotel room availability.



3. Listen to Mother Nature

Take the weather and other potential annoyances into consideration, have a plan B ready when your weather takes a different route to your planned vision.  Guests have been known to skip out early from hotter-than-hot summer tent weddings and improperly heated winter loft receptions. Bugs also swarm in certain areas during certain seasons. Consider renting pest control tanks to alleviate the problem or including bug repellent in guests' gift bags. And if you want a sunset ceremony, make sure you know when to say your vows by checking the times for your day.


4. Check Your Credit

Take advantage of the high cost of weddings and sign up for a credit card with a rewards program. Whether it gives you airline miles or great shopping deals, consolidating all wedding-related purchases to this card will help you accumulate thousands of rewards points. 


5. Pay It Forward

Let one vendor lead you to another. Your wedding photographer can tell you which hair and makeup artist are the best to use, and your reception manager should know which music choice would be fit to make use of.



6. Lighten Your List

Remember the easiest way to cut your wedding budget, is by minimizing  your guest list. Remember, half of your wedding expenses go to wining and dining your guests. If it's costing you R100 per person, eliminating one table of 10 can save you R1,000. 


7. Make a Meal Plan

Feeding your wedding day crew, is another thing that might be easily forgotten.  Choose a less expensive meal for them. You will have to let your wedding caterer know a couple of days before the wedding exactly how many vendors you need to feed and don't forget the photography assistants and band roadies. 


9. Get Organizationally Focused

In a three-ring binder, compile all your correspondences with vendors, notes you make during meetings, and photos or tear sheets from magazines you want vendors to see. Set up a special email address dedicated to your wedding, and store important vendor numbers in your cell phone. 


10. Tend to Your Bar

Typically, you need one bartender per 50 guests to keep the line at a minimum. But if you're serving a signature cocktail that cannot be made ahead of time (or in large quantities), consider adding an extra server designated to this task.

Tips Tuesday - HOW TO: CUT CREASE


HOW TO: CUT CREASE


WHAT YOU NEED:

MAC - Paint Pot in Bare Study
MAC - Gesso
MAC - Shroom
MAC - Smolder Eye Kohl (LE)
MAC - Plum Dressing
MAC - Chromaline in Black Black

 
Start with your eye primer, base shadow, and a white highlight.


Sketch in a crease line with your choice of eyeliner.  Make the line thicker towards the outer corner, and use less pressure toward the inner corner to make the liner thinner and lighter.

  
View from the front


Blend that liner out with a shader brush, slowly and gently, use a MAC #239 brush. Blend upwards toward the outer corner. You want the bottom line to stay crisp, but if you make a little mess, don’t sweat stress, you can clean that up later.


Go over top of your liner and just above with a shadow color of your choice. Blend further toward the inner corner. This would be the time to go in with a white shadow and shader brush to clean up the bottom line if it’s messy.


Add a winged liquid eye liner.


 Add some of your crease color underneath the lower lashline.


Add some white highlight here, as well as some lashes. And then your're done!

Special thanx to Batalash for these beautiful images!!
