WORKED ON: KINGS CROSS KNICKERS CATALOG

How you look and present yourself in the clubhouse, on the golf course or traveling to your favorite resort may not help you score, but atleast you will appear in style ;)

I cannot believe I have not blogged this shoot yet!! So, back in January I got a call from the ladies over at the New York Aesthetics School to do professional makeup for the King Cross Knickers catalog and their brand new online golf store. They are a line of golf apparel inspired by golf's rich centuries history offering authentic knickers and other classic golf apparel.  So if you love to golf and you love to dress up, you can follow Kings Cross Knickers on facebook for daily golf fashion updates! 

Below are some cute behind the scene pictures I took from the shoot.  I got to do makeup on men, women and even little kids. The little guys were so cute and so much fun to work with!  Yes, I had to apply makeup to the children too.  Generally, when you are doing makeup on kids you want to keep it simple and just focus on lips, cheeks and eyes.  You want them to look natural but still pop under the harsh photography lighting.  Enjoy!

To golfing in style ;) xoxo

BEHIND THE SCENES: A BEAUTIFUL WHITE HOUSE WEDDING

From the minute you say "yes", the planning begins. Who should do my makeup?

 With that being said, I was sooo excited when Suzy reached out to me and asked me to do her makeup for her wedding over a year ago.  I went to highschool with Suzy and all of her bridesmaids!  My junior makeup assistant, Veronica and I, set up both of our makeup kits around 8am and finished the flawless faces around 1pm.  That gave us an hour before the limo arrived for makeup touchups and photography by Matt Ramos Photography.

Suzy and her bridesmaid got ready at the house she grew up in, a beautiful white house.  We were calling it the White House Wedding all morning.  he he he!

The bridal party was dressed in light blue dresses paired with silver shoes.  Suzy dressed up her gown with a floor length veil and accessorized with simple pearl earrings to compliment her simple updo.  The hair and makeup was classic and different for each bridesmaid to compliment each individual style.

Thanks so much for having me be apart of your special day Suzy!   I loved making you and your bridal party feel pampered and pretty!
