Hello beautiful viewers! hope your week started off well. To the Ladies, as kids we all day dreamed about that special day, when we would walk down the aisle with that special someone. Most of all, the pictures that were created in our little minds, were pictures of a fairy tale wedding: pictures of you as a bride looking smashingly beautiful in that very beautiful ever flowing dress sweeping the floor  with the veil gently covering your face. Rose petals lying beautifully on the walk way with family and friends all standing in ovation, and not to talk of your groom, staring in amazement as you approach him, we all thought as kids that it had to be one of the happiest moment of our lives, and  ofcourse it should be. But as kids, whoever thought of the face that lies beneath the veil?!,. no one for sure, quess that was just beyond our imagination!.,Bridal makeup as most people would call it, appears usually very subtle with warm colours. So, I used gold shadow on the eyes and smoked out just very slightly with dark purple. Then, I applied a light shade of matte pink on the lips. The "bride" loved her makeup, hope you do too. Makeup details are below;

Makeup, as they say is an art; an art of beauty ofcourse. As a makeup artist,  what first comes in mind is the colour selection which can be very tricky. There are a wide variety of colour shades, and combining the different colours is quite tasking, although there are colour wheel templates that can guide one. Personally, bright colours 'scare' me a lot, I always shy away from them, yellow, red, orange, you name them! So most times, I just go for the ' not so very bright colours', you know them, lol!. I am happy to say that this time was different, thanks to my friend and model, she actually picked the colours and encouraged me to use them although, I hesitated a lot to be sincere. But the camera did the magic, I saw the beauty in it through the lens of camera, even when my eyes failed me!.lol! I really appreciate the colours I used now, yellow and red which was slightly smoked out. I didn't stop there, I still went all red on the lips, I really do love and appreciate this makeup, and hope y'all do too. And not forgetting, I also created the hair style, I just split the hair into four equal parts and made buns, I'm sure this takes you down the memory lane as a baby when your mum was your only hair stylist, lol!

With love from your makeup artist, Chioma.
