3rd Topic for Brides and Grads- Makeup!!!

As you may already know, makeup is a critical part of your overall look as a Bride or a Graduate.  I don't think you need to feel hidden under a layer of makeup, but we must keep in mind that you want your makeup to show up in pictures.  If you are not wearing much makeup, it will be difficult for the camera to pick up on it.

As a Bride or a Grad, I strongly suggest that you get a makeup trial before your big day.  This will ensure that you are on the same page as your makeup artist, and will also ensure that you will be getting the look you have been wanting.  Don't be afraid to take advice from your makeup artist, often we REALLY do know what we are talking about. 

Even if you never wear makeup, don't be shy to call for a makeup trial.  I LOVE surprising non-makeup wearers with a look that even they will love!  Don't be afraid of foundation or a bit of mascara, they WON'T hurt you-and they are a subtle way of giving you a bit of beautiful drama!

Sometimes I caution my clients from finding pictures of peoples' makeup in magazines. While the look can be nice, it may not always look as good on you-different face shapes, coloring, etc.   If you are a die-hard magazine clipper, just make sure you have a realistic expectation, and be willing to tweak the look, to better suit you!

False lashes are also a great way to add some drama.  They open up the eye, and depending on the type of lash as well as the application, they can even look natural!  It will cost a bit extra, but well worth it!

Lastly, at Pure White, one of my FAVORITE services to offer my brides and grads is makeup on-the-go.  This means packing up my makeup kit, and doing makeup in the comfort of your own home!  The more the merrier-the Bride, bridesmaids, mothers, daughters, graduate, friends, etc.  This will ensure a calm and relaxing morning-I LOVED the fact that I got to spend the morning getting ready with my bridal party, and I know you will too!  *A minimum of 4 people is required*

Well, that pretty much sums it up...get ready to start booking your makeup appointments!  Give Pure White a call at 289-1650.

Our Next topic- Nail Care!!!

Goodbye LONG French Gel nails- Hello short, colored nails! 

Don’t get me wrong, a French Gel is always classy and beautiful, but your options have opened up a lot in the past couple of years!  From colored gel, to Shellac, we are seeing the options open up for your nails on your special day. 

Gel- If you are a dye-hard gel wearer, don’t switch right before your event.  Gel looks amazing, and lasts a good 3 weeks on average.  There are beautiful choices of colors and classy nail art, to spice up your gels!

*Note that it is not the best to get gels just for ONE occasion or day.  Have you ever heard the long time rumor that “gels ruin your nails”???  MYTH!!!!  Guess what ruins your nails- Picking off the gel after you decide you don’t want it any more!  Ladies!!!  It is your duty to get your gel professionally removed, just as you had them professionally applied!  DO NOT pick off your gel-that’s what will cause damage to your nails…Your Esthetician or Nail Tech will gently file off the bulk of the gel, and give you a nice manicure while it naturally grows out!  Myth BUSTED!!!!

Shellac-This product is wonderful for people who don’t normally wear gels.  It is just about as quick as a regular manicure, and it lasts 2 good weeks.  And the best part is, you can go back to your salon, and have them removed in 15 minutes-no product remains or damage to the nail!  Shellac comes in wonderful colors, and DON’T PANIC, you CAN get a French Shellac Manicure!

*Note that Shellac is also AMAZING for pedicures- NO dry time, put your shoes right on after your pedicure, and be sure that you will experience NO smudging or clumping, wear stilettos out of your appointment , I DARE YOU … Hooray!!!!!!

If you are in a Bridal Party, Call Pure White about Manicure and Pedicure Parties- They are so much fun, and can even be done in the comfort of your own home!!!

A New Year-Grads and Brides, it's GO time! *Skin Care*

Happy 2012 Everyone!!!

Though it seems crazy, it's time to start thinking about Grad and Wedding Season!!!! Here are some great tips to get you through the next 6 months...

Skin Care:

It is a great idea to get a facial once every season.  Schedule a facial 3 weeks before your event, and for optimal skin health, schedule one 4 months before the event as well.  This will clean out the pores and will ensure your skin looks fresh and clean for your big day! 

*Note that it is important to use good skin care in between facials, to maintain the health and condition of the skin!!!  I recommend Sea Vital, and you can find this great skin care at Pure White!  One thing I stand by is that I would never recommend something I don't fully believe in-I use this skin care, I love it, and this stuff works!!!  Give me a call for more info and for the latest skin care promotions...

Stay tuned for my next Grad/Wedding blog- Topic: Nail Care!!!

All the best and Happy New Year!!!

A little extra "POP"!!!

*Many clients have been stopping in to Pure White to get their feet ready for flip flops :)  Why not ask about some unique nail art to spice up your favorite pedicure colour!

*Looking for a makeup artist for a wedding/graduation/special event?  Here's some good info to consider...

-Pure White does makeup applications either in the shop, or in the convenience of your own home...
-Consider doing a trial run, to communicate the look that you are desiring for your special day, and to make sure your makeup artist gives you a look that you LOVE!
-Having your makeup artist come to your home on the day of your wedding can make for a very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere for both you the bride, and your bridesmaids.
-Have you ever thought of getting a set of false lashes for your special day?!  False lashes open up the eye, and give you a subtle but noticeable extra "pop"!

Makeup and Music :)

Well here I am, gearing up for a wonderful week!  I was asked to do makeup for a T.V. program called "Time to Sing"....and I am VERY excited!  I will be on set making sure everyone looks their best, and I also get to sing along on the episodes... 2 of my most favorite things in 1!  It is such a blessing when you find something that feels a little more like fun than work...and I am so thankful that I get the privilege of smiling as I head to work every day!  So here is to loving what you do, and singing a little tune as you work...

Smiles and Hugs,
Sarah
