I showed up at Lauren's apartment for our trial. It was a gorgeous spring day. Lauren seemed very nervous. So I asked if she was alright. She almost started crying. Lauren had a previous makeup trial with another artist. She didn't like the makeup and was extremely nervous and upset to try again.
By the way - I don't know who the artist was, but Lauren showed me a picture and it was beautifully done makeup. BUT it wasn't Lauren! It was too much and red lips etc. Again gorgeous makeup but not suited for Lauren.
So my philosophy is to make my brides look like themselves but at their best. So I did Lauren's makeup how I thought she would look her best!
The next thing that happened surprised me. She started crying again, but this time it was a happy cry! She hugged me and couldn't have been happier. This makes what I do worth it. This is why I do it. Seeing that brides eyes so thrilled and so content with her makeup is the best feeling. To make someone pretty is one thing but to make them happy is amazing. Spreading love and lip gloss!!!
