I'm getting married....


(this is me with the "bridal" look)(and this is much blonder, and fair-er friend, on her wedding day, with the same make-up I did for her)

just kidding....
but if you are.....here is a super-asked-for look....wedding-bridal make-up...this is the day that most every girl has dreamed about her whole life. Even if you're not getting married, this is a great, beautiful look...and I show you tricks and tips to make your make-up last all day and possibly all night too!
On this day you will be like a celebrity...probably the most photographed day of your entire life...so you should look like a star too!

This is the most, most, most requested look I get when brides ask for make-up (and I've done countless bride's make-up)
this is how it usually goes:
kandee: so what look do you want?
bride: a clean, fresh, dewy, smokey eye!

All those sound like they'd be hard to put together...but I'll show you how to do it...and everyone looks stunning with this look. Also, how I show you to apply it, brides have told me that they have woken up the next day and still looked just as good as when I put it on them.

I hope this helps make you feel extra glamorous and will make your groom's jaw drop when you walk down the aisle!

Remember:
*make sure not to get any facial treatments 2 weeks prior to your big day (facials bring all the dirt down in the pores to the surface and cause "breakouts")
*make sure you get all your facial waxing done at least a week prior to wedding day
*make sure you don't drink any alcohol the morning of the wedding (it will cause redness in the face which no concealer will hide)
*up your water intake to half your weight in ounces, every day, for clearer, non-puffy face
*make sure you relax and enjoy every moment...it will be over sooner than you think....and remember, things will go wrong...so just expect something to go wrong...and you won't get too upset. (every wedding I have done make-up for, something has gone wrong...and not one of them has ever started on time! ha ha ha)

I hope this helps you look and feel absolutely gorgeous, and I am honored to get to share this with you to be a part of such a special day for you!!!
huge love, kandee

Taylor Swift's Love Story...pretty bridal or prom look







this look is ethereal, fresh, and pretty...
gold shimmers and fresh illuminated skin...
I saw Taylor Swift in concert s few years ago...my mom had gotten some free tickets for a country concert with Brad Paisley.....who had the best song...even though my family will verify my dislike for country music, has been going on for years....I actually find it homey and wholesome now! ha ha ha ha...but back to my story...I saw her in concert....and her make-up and style has gotten so glamorous now....
so here goes the look...

what you I used:
FACE: laura mercier foundation and concealer
SHELL highlighter from MAC
CHEEKS: POSEY creme blush from MAC (a bright pink-rose)
DANDELION from BENEFIT

EYES: DAZZLELIGHT from MAC ( a light nude shimmer) ALL THAT GLITTERS from MAC ( a peachy-sandy-pearl color) OMEGA from MAC (a light green-hued tan color) BLANC TYPE from MAC ( a very matter light-nude color) CARBON from MAC (black) KITTEN from STILA ( a pink-peach shimmer color...i love it!) SATIN TAUPER ( a light gold-taupe color)
EYELINER: SMOLDER Kohl Liner from MAC (a creamy black)
MASCARA: FIBER RICH MASCARA from MAC (in black)
*for the look in Love Story, I would add individual lash extensions....I'll try to post the video on how to put those bad boys on, next!*
LIPS: liner in POSH from Benefit ( a nude-pinky color) CHIFFON from NYC lipstick ( a frosty light pink) and gloss in C-THRU from MAC (a nude pink gloss without sparkles)

try it for a pretty eye make-up that won't feel like you have tons of make-up on...
