Bridal Looks for Spring

March 12, 2013March 12, 2013 by loveleighbeauty, posted in Favorite Products, Industry Insider

The Bernardo Winery Faire turned out to be a huge success for both Chandra and I. We had a great time with the beautiful models in the fashion show and meeting so many brides-to-be!

They were some amazing vendors too. It made me want to re-do my wedding again. [sigh] I love meeting and seeing people so passionate about their business.

loveleighbeauty-chandracamposmakeup — Artists at work! Collaborating on what bridal looks we want to create.

chandracamposmakeup artisty — The gorgeous Alisa. She has been a professional model for years and is truly stunning.

For Alisa, Chandra wanted to create a clean, yet elegant, look for her.

Eyes:

Bamboo (M.A.C.) in the crease for a pop of color

Vanilla w/ Grain (M.A.C.) packed on the lid for a limited sheen (mature eyes should stay away from too much shimmer. It can increase the look of fine lines/wrinkles)

False lashes, no eyeliner to bring out her eyes

Blush:

Blushbaby (M.A.C.)

Lips:

Whirl lipliner filled in with Snob lipgloss (both M.A.C.)

Foundation:

Makeup Forever HD Foundation

MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Powder on top to set foundation

loveleighbeauty-bridal looks — The beautiful Kiersten! She actually was married at the winery and is about to celebrate her 1st anniversary.

Kiersten’s skin is flawless! [like, to die for ah-mazing]

She is South African (loved her accent) and happens to also be a professional ballerina.

The look I created for her was inspired by Spring and more of a fresh face look. I wanted to play up her porcelain skin.

Eyes:

Naked Lunch (M.A.C.) all over the lid & inner corner (tear duct)

Samoa Silk in the crease for a pop of color

Soft Brown (M.A.C.) lightly on the outer crease for subtle definition &

on the lower lash line

Dipdown Fluidline Eyeliner (M.A.C)

Red Cherry #747S Lashes

Blush:

Peaches with Fleur Power (M.A.C.)

Lips:

Staunchly Stylish lipliner (filled in the entire lip) with Razzle Dazzler lipgloss (M.A.C.)

Foundation:

Makeup Forever HD Foundation

MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Powder to set foundation

Industry Insider: Meet MUA Chandra + a Fall Bridal Look

November 19, 2012 by loveleighbeauty, posted in Industry Insider, Inspiration

Allow me to introduce my dear friend, Chandra Campos. She is one of San Diego’s elite makeup artist’s and specializes in bridal looks. Not only is she amazing (duh!) but her charm and wit add to her whole package. One convo with her and you’re liable to be laughing your boo-tay off with her one liners. 😉

Ch-ch-check her out…

laura, chandra, loveleigh beauty — One of our infamous self-portraits

+Tell us a little bit about yourself?

CC: I was basically born into the beauty industry; everyone in my family is either a business owner of a salon, spa, or has been in the industry for 30+ years. Needless to say, I know makeup and skin like the back of my hand. I started with M.A.C. cosmetics and soon realized I loved doing weddings, personal events, photo shoots, etc. I left MAC and started Chandra Campos Makeup Artistry. My business is growing and I’m very excited for whats to come in the future. I think my clients are in for a real treat.

+What’s currently in your makeup bag?

CC: DuWop Lip Venom in clear, Orange Tempura lipglass by M.A.C. (limited, sorry because its really an amazing color), Makeup Forever Duo Matte powder.

+Your #1 beauty tip:

CC: I find that most people don’t do their eyes before their foundation. By doing your eyes first, you’re not working twice by having to fix your foundation from eye shadow fall-out. [<<This is an excellant tip! Remember this loveleigh’s!]

+Foundation you’re obsessed with right now?

CC: Chanel Perfection Lumière. I’m currently obsessed with the glow-y, healthy-skin look. Chanel does just that, plus, gives a soft finish, with a natural looking feel. It’s as if you have nothing on!

+Favorite Skincare product:

CC: NeriumAD! My skin has never looked and felt better. [Visit her Nerium website and stay tuned for Chandra’s blog too]

+Quick trick(s) to spice up someone’s everyday look:

CC: To add something fast to your everyday look (without spending a lot of time) add a soft brown eye shadow to the bottom lashes–this will make your eyes look more polished. Extra mascara and you have a quick, easy, and finished looking eyes.(A few suggestions: soft brown, saddle, texture, all M.A.C. colors)

Also, add a mineralized highlight right above the cheeks to give that subtle glow and your look will be complete. ( M.A.C. mineralized skinfinish powders are beautiful as highlights)

Here is a perfect Fall Wedding makeup look Chandra created for our friend Ahsue:

Fall wedding-1 — Nanoo Gold (M.A.C.limited) & Hush (M.A.C.) & Nylon (M.A.C.) on lid

Fall Wedding-3 — Saddle (M.A.C.) & Soft Brown (M.A.C.) in crease

Fall Wedding, Ahsue, loveleigh beauty — Black liner–on top only (Makeup Forever in aqua black)
Saddle lined on bottom lashes
Mascara is Smoky Lash by Makeup Forever

Fall Wedding, contouring, ahsue — Using a Beauty Blender for contour color by Nars in Tahoe.

DSC_0545 - Version 4 — #34 M.A.C. lashes

Cheeks: Dainty with Peaches by M.A.C. to create that perfect, soft peach with a touch of pink.
Lips: Have to have it lip liner by M.A.C.- YSL Rouge Volupté in 30 (Faubourg Peach) with Hue (M.A.C.) and Patty Cakes by Metal Edge.

+Talk about your vision for Ahsue’s bridal look. What inspired you?

Ahsue is naturally beautiful. Makeup is about adding, creating structure, or definition that isn’t there. Ahsue already has everything we love so I just played up her natural structure; with colors that are already in her palette. (i.e. warmer colors)

Ahsue is very unique and trend setting. I kept that in mind when I created her soft and clean makeup look that would match her style. I only wanted to enhance her already beautiful face.

So stunning, right? I know, that’s why I had to share with all of you.
