Makin Pretty In Mississippi

Traveling over 7 hours in a car with 3 kids isn't exactly my idea of a good time, but it was surprisingly easier than I had expected and it was for a great cause!  We have just gotten back from an amazingly fun time in the state of Mississippi for a beautiful family wedding where I had the honor of working with the bride-to-be who is now part of our family!

{Me and the stunning bride Jayme! Sorry, this shot is slightly out of focus!} 

I'm working on very little sleep from having to spend the night in the same room as my baby so I am going to be quick in posting some really great photos of Jayme's bridal face.

Thanks to Gloss Salon in Ridgeland, Mississippi for allowing me into their salon.  I've included a couple pics of their space bc it was so fab with all sorts of big gold mirrors, purple walls, animal prints galore, and red leather chairs!

This place was a dream to work in with tons of natural light and the cool vibe.  Here's my makeup arsenal set up!

So here was Jayme's before picture with just primer applied.  Are you kidding me, she is so naturally beautiful, she could have just walked down the aisle like this!

And here is Jayme's after makeup shot. We applied tons of individual lash clumps (Ardell medium lengths in brown) along the upper lash line for extra added eye oomph!!

Some of the main components I used on her look were:

1. L'Oreal True Match foundation in N3 and N4

2.  Too Faced Cosmetics Natural Eye Palette

3. Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in "bourbon"

5.  MAC blush in "fleur power"

6.  MAC bronzing powder in "golden"

7.  L'Oreal Infallible lip gloss in "modern mauve" 

She had this sparkly hair piece made to fit along one side of her updo- it was super pretty in combination with her lacey veil!  And you know I'm loving lace these days...

Here's a close up shot of the eyes once we were done - they turned out gorgeous!  Some of her makeup inspirations were Katherine Heigl and Hayden Panettiere, so we found a middle ground combination that she ended up being happy with.  My finishing sparkle touch is by Bare Escentuals id Bare Minerals eye glimmers in "nude beach."  I apply this right along the tear duct area and slightly along the lash line for a subtle shimmer.

I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "Well it's not difficult to do makeup on a bride this naturally gorgeous JennySue??"  And you would be right, I totally agree.   Full on bridal pics from the big ceremony and party to come.

Now I'm off to bed to rest up from the weekends events!   BIG CONGRATS to the happy couple Jayme and Kevin!!  I'm so happy for the both of you and for being able to enjoy such a fun family filled weekend.
