Mitra Wedding Makeup Trial

Here are just a few quick photos from Yardley Mitra's wedding makeup trial that she did with two of her bridesmaids (who are also her sisters-in-law-to-be). The flash on the camera that I used wasn't great, so it really does not do their makeup justice. They looked completely made over and stunning in person. I forgot to take a before photo though, so I'm sorry! But here, enjoy.

Some goodies that I prepared for the ladies. Cookies and a nice soothing chamomile tea with herbal infusions ;) Break out the china!

I adore the sunkissed glow that they are all wearing - that dewy youthful look, especially on the cheeks and lips. It really brings their face to life.

I had to correct X's complexion a couple of shades lighter to match her neck and the rest of her body. I think we achieved success ;) She now has a fresh and clean look, with a sunkissed glow. And attention must be paid to her eyes ;)

I look so plain Jane next to these ladies!

April Reed Cakes

I love weddings. It is probably one of the single most important times in a woman's life. It's the one time where all the little details count and having OCD is justified. The cake. Ah, the cake. It has to be as delicious as it looks I would say. I don't want people remembering that the cake tasted horrible, more over, remember that it was a monstrosity! BUT, I find that many of the cakes that I see out there, well, they're just that, a monstrosity. Unattractive. Over-the-top. Ugly in simpleton terms. So I came across these cakes by April Reed, and you know what? I like them! I think they are pretty, clean lined and in their own rights, creative. She has some chic looking cakes with polished elegance. So for those who aren't going for that over-the-top traditional 1980s or 1990s style wedding cake, she's got some gorgeous designs for you! Looking at these cakes would make any girl want to get married ;)
