Summer '09 Trend:
1. Look for great contrasts and cross cultural colors! Summer rose romance, just a pinch on the cheeks to soft shades of rose for the lips.
2. Dazzle your eyes and lips!!! Big and bold shine on those luscious lips and super high shine on lashes...real or fake!!
3. SKIN, SKIN, SKIN, please take care of your skin, afterall it is the only one you have and it's here to stay. You can't have beautiful makeup without beautiful skin. Always wear SPF to protect that beautiful skin!
4. Lashes, all about lashes, if you've got 'em, flaunt 'em! Primer for those lashes and the perfect mascara to volumize and plump. If you don't have them, that's alright, False lashes are making a comeback, too. They are looking more and more like real, full lashes and give you that added bonus we all need.
5. Embrace your inner beauty goddess and let her shine!
"It's not enough for makeup to simply be 'pretty' any more - makeup has to have a point of view, make a statement," Gordon Espinet (MAC pro artist)

Brides, want to know how to get the best out of your makeup trial consultation?
Communication, communication, communication! It is the key.
~ It is so difficult to get what is in your head and put it into words, so take pictures! Bring magazine clippings and try to figure out exactly what you want on your day.
~ Just know that you imagine a perfectly pigmented pink (which is wonderful), however every makeup artist will have about 10 different shades of that pink. So, any pictures or items that convey your idea are always greatly appreciated.
~ Makeup artists are so well-versed and have tons of knowledge and experience, we just need to know what you want! Afterall, it is your very special day!
