A Fairy-Tale Romance

Fair·y Tale
noun
noun: fairytale

denoting something regarded as resembling a fairy story 
modifier noun: fairy-tale
"a fairy-tale romance"
  • in being magical, idealized, or extremely happy.



Love these two sweet, simplistic, magical, fairy-tale looks..
    I was excited to be able to create these two looks 
that aren't the "normal" looks that I get asked to create.


The Bride wanted two completely different looks, one a little messy 
and magical with flowers and a loose curly updo. 
Then for her maid-of-honor something sweet and simple
 that wouldn't take away from her special day.

Bridesmaids' Updos & Pretty Makeups!

I love weddings so much, and this one was absolutely beautiful.. loved every detail of the wedding.

Especially the hair and makeup (If I don't say so myself)

We changed a few things from the makeup trial the week before.

Can you guess what?

AIR BRUSH MAKEUP
along with Fake Lashes, and Updos!

Yes, Platinum Makeup & Hair now offers an Airbrushed look with Airbrush Makeup Minerals.
It looks so beautiful on these bridesmaids and the bride of course too!

---Check it out---
(Unfortunately it was very bright and the color of the photos aren't as good as I wish they turned out.. I'm not a photographer, only a makeup artist. I'll let the professionals do their work and stick to the beautifying. But you get the idea. Here's the photos..)

The Bride

 Remember...FOR TRIAL WE DID:
Face- Dermablend (Ivory) and set with Bare Minerals Foundation Powder (Light)
Blush- Nars (Orgasm)
Smokey eye- Urban Deccay and Two Faced Products Only
