A while back I was contemplating doing my own wedding makeup. I even wrote a post about it. In an ideal world where money grows on trees, I would have probably booked a professional in a heartbeat. But, unfortunately, my budget didn’t allow for a $150+ trial. So, what was Miss Glitter to do? I turned to the Weddingbee Classifieds! Through a quick search, I was introduced to Susie Chhuor: hair and makeup extraordinaire.
My makeup inspiration: fresh, simple, and natural.
My hair inspiration: loose, romantic, and natural.
This picture was taken by Weddingbee PRO Amelia Lyon and the amazing hair and makeup was done by Amelia’s sister, Nicole DeAnne.
In just under two hours, Susie sprinkled some fairy dust and worked her magic, and I left looking like this:
Here is what my hair looked like. Please keep in mind that we didn’t use any hairspray or product. It was morning time and I didn’t want stiff wedding hair all day long, so Susie just pinned it up to give us a rough idea of what it would look like on the day of. For effect, we added fake flowers.
For savvy DIY makeup bees, or just in case you are curious, Susie was nice enough to provide me with a list of the makeup she used:
Face:
Eyes:
Blush/Bronzer/Highlight:
Lips:
Ultimately, I was very impressed with Susie. She was professional, friendly, talented, and within my price range. We worked well together, and I am happy to report I am booking her for my wedding day!
Have you recently been offered a wedding vendor deal you couldn’t refuse?
It looks great and for such a great price! You are lucky! Oh, and I’m looking at a similar hairstyle so I’m glad to see more variations- it looks great!
What zit! Lol! Why are we so hard on ourselves?
Thanks for posting the details on the makeup she used! I want some for everyday use…you look FANTASTIC!
you look beautiful! do you know her bridal rates? i have spent over $400 on trials and still have yet to find a make up/hair person. i cant stomach spending any more money on trials but i desperately need to find someone. my wedding is less than three months away!
You definitely achieved the natural glow you were looking for. I think it’s perfect!
You are beautiful in both the before and after shots 
I love the hairstyle! The flowers are perfection.
you look amazing!
Wow! It looks so good. I really love the blush and the lipcolor.
I had a trial session with Susie as well! Due to some circumstances I was late to my trial but she was able to work her magic on me under an hour so I would be able to meet the photog in time. I’m waiting for our images - can’t wait to see how the make-up looks in pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone in the LA area.
You look beee-autiful! The make-up is subtle, yet still emphasizes your gorgeous features. Well done and at a steal of a price!
I love the way that your hair and make-up turned out! And I just realized that pics of my FI and I are on her website!
Wow!! You look gorgeous!
She did a great job! I did my own makeup but if I’d have had a Susie I’d definitely have used her.
wow that looks perfect! i know nothing about makeup but i really despise the too much makeup look (which is how i felt on my wedding day), yours look so natural and light. enhances without exaggerating, lovely!
You look beautiful! Thanks for posting the products she used! I love knowing what the pros use! I might have to try some of those out!
She captured that natural look exactly! You look GREAT!
