Bridal Looks for Spring

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.

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

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

The venue is so charming and quaint! I was in complete awe over the grounds and lush landscape. The rustic ambiance is a perfect backdrop for any San Diego Style wedding.

DIY Makeup Brush Holders

This DIY makeup brush holder idea is inspired by ones I’ve seen at Sephora. [I die and go to heaven every time I step foot in there.]

Change the look of your bathroom and display all your makeup tools with these adorable holders. It is so easy-peasy and all you need is your own creativity.

You literally can choose any theme or color.

I purchased the rectangle glass vases at Michael’s {on sale} for $3. I adorned a couple with a few accessories.

To change it up,  I decided to do one vase in glitter ribbon, wrapped in brown tulle.

These are the poly-fil beads. They work, but are not as pretty as the glass beads Sephora uses.

**Super important when choosing the filling for inside the vases, make sure it is made of material that will not scratch your makeup brushes.**

I did some research and found poly-fil {which is used to fill dolls} and tested them to be the safest in making sure your brushes are not ruined…BUT THEN I discovered the actual glass beads Sephora uses [pictured below and found Save-on-Crafts].

See the difference? The glass beads are so pretty.

Wait…we’re not done organizing…

If you’re feeling extra crafty try this easy idea:

loveleighbeauty-DIY lip pencil holder

Use Modge Podge on the inside of the jar (a thick, even layer), pour your color choice of glitter, let dry. And violá[!], a jazzy new lip pencil [or whatever your little heart desires] holder.

Container Store acrylic makeup organizer, new DIY makeup brush holder, and of course, my Clearcube.

Phew! It feels so good to be organized.

I mean think about it, we spend all this money on products just to throw them in a cold, lonely, and dark drawer. Display them beautifully and proudly for all to enjoy.

Happy organizing Loveleigh’s!

Love,

LL
