Asian Inspiration: Makeup

November 3rd, 2009 @ 6:14 pm by Miss Parfait

For the wedding, I’m not exactly branching out in the makeup department. I’ve never tried any bold looks, with the exception of the extreme makeovers my friends and I would give each other as kids. I’m planning to stick with what I know and go for subtlety. For soft, natural makeup ideas, I turned to my favorite Korean actress!

About Mrs. Stiletto

I’m pretty sure I contacted everyone in the greater Chicago-area who might do hair and makeup for weddings. I wanted someone to work on-site at the hotel I was staying at for the wedding, to do both hair and makeup, to be somewhat affordable, and of course, to be fabulous!

Morgan Blaul definitely personified fabulosity. She was super chill and great to work with for my…

I'm not extreme in anything except moderation... and wedding planning.

Made Up

October 27th, 2009 @ 4:40 pm by Miss Labrador

A couple weekends ago, I had my makeup trial with Savannah’s famed Jules of Dollface by Jules. I had a blast with Jules who is a bride-to-be herself. She’s super stylish and very easy going. I know she’ll provide some comic relief and much needed calmness to my big day while getting ready.

These photos really don’t do her work justice. I had driven 4 hours…

Tattoo Cover Up: Take One

October 13th, 2009 @ 11:30 am by Miss Frozen Yogurt

So you may remember that I am having a little trouble figuring out what to do about my tattoo on my wedding day. Said tattoo has been a source of stress for me for some time. Well, I finally decided to start trying out some options for covering it up. But let’s see it before:

Try not to make fun, I’m already sad about it.

On the same busy day that I had my second hair trial, I got it together and visited a makeup artist in the city looking for guidance on how to put on my makeup for my wedding day. A bonus was trying out the full bridal look,since I kept my hair trial style intact all day! Signing up for a makeup lesson was not done…

An 18-Year-Old Mistake

September 21st, 2009 @ 3:15 pm by Miss Frozen Yogurt

You’re probably wondering what the hell I’m going to talk about with that title, but I promise it connects to the wedding. When I was 18 I decided that I wanted a tattoo. It wouldn’t have mattered what anyone said to me, I was doing it. I even went alone to get it done because I didn’t want anyone to try to talk me out…

Hair & Makeup: Part 1

I’ll warn you ahead of time, this post is filled with lots of pictures of moi. Last Friday, I had my hair/makeup trial. Even though I had plenty of time to prep for this, I went in uncertain of exactly what I wanted. I showed Jeanie my inspiration pictures and after a few minutes of deliberating (and taking in to account factors such as the Texas humidity), I…

Gettin’ My Hair & Face Done

A little while back I had posted about my hair inspirations in preparation for my hair trial. There’s so much great inspiration out there, but I was nervous that I’d pick out styles that my hair wouldn’t cooperate with, or that I wouldn’t end up liking.

I’d finally narrowed it down to this great style:

I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!
About Mrs. Mouse

So I finally had my hair and makeup trial yesterday. It was more about playing around with makeup colors and getting a feel for different hair options. Keep that in mind when looking at the results—the look will be much more polished on the big day!

For the makeup, I told Lauren that I just wanted a very natural look, with fresh glowy cheeks (courtesy of…

I love art (all kinds). I don't have any secrets. I talk a lot and listen even more. I show love by baking. I'm timid by nature, but brave when it counts. Mr. Bunny and I work at competing weekly newspapers, which makes it a little interesting trying to describe our work joys and frustrations without giving away too much before the paper comes out. In spite of that little hurdle, we've managed to build a pretty solid relationship in the short one-and-a-half years we will have been together when we tie the knot. I can't wait!

Brushing It Off

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming of the Bunny Bridal Countdown to bring you a PSA on makeup.

Because only Mrs. Bunny would interrupt her recaps to talk about makeup, right?

By now you probably know that I’m a proponent of what a good makeup brush can do for DIY makeup.

Specifically, I’m speaking of a nice, round, compact blush brush. I do most of my makeup…

Getting Prettified - Part 2

With the hair part done (thanks so much, you guys rock!), it’s time to discuss the makeup part of “getting prettified”. The one thing that always surprises me about bridal makeup is how intense it is. Which makes sense, since I’ll be running around for hours in the August heat being photographed. However… on a Sunday morning… grabbing coffee after the trial? Well… perhaps that…
