WEDDING HAIRSTYLE, THINGS TO CONSIDER!

We can all agree that Pinterest and Instagram have come to make our lives sooo much better. When it comes to planning a wedding they help a LOT and getting ideas is way easier with this apps!

But, as I said they are all just IDEAS, that create some expectations, especially when it comes to the final look. Today I want to talk about the hairstyle, for brides and guests.

When it comes to choosing your hairstyle for a beach wedding there are a few things to consider. Sometimes our clients come with a beautiful Picture from Pinterest and of course the model looks perfect with her flawless Beach waves, in a Photo that’s on the Beach, but that curly lasts for the photo shoot and the stylist is just behind the model fixing every detail every 5 min. we know it won’t be your case. So all I want to do is list a few things to consider when choosing your hair, so you can come with a realistic idea and you end up happy with the result

Weather.

The weather in the Riviera Maya is Humid, so your chance of Frizziness rises. Although we use humidity Proof products, a hair that is down and wavy is not going to last, your waves will eventually fall and the frizziness shows more.

Also if you are getting married in front of the beach or out doors there is going to be wind, and hair will be on your face most of the time, that is a bit annoying, trust me I’ve been there.

If you don’t like your hair all done up, try to go for a wavy up do, or choose Brands to add a boho style, play with textures in the up do, a hairdo can have so many movement, start looping for creative ideas or let the professionals give you some ideas J

Hair type:

Of course we can make a very straight hair look curly, or vice versa, but keep in mind that the more we change your hair type the less it stays, there is nothing better than working with your hair type and give form and body to it, creating a beautiful hair style using what you already have.

Hair length

Your hair length its an important thing to consider, there are some hair styles that require very long hair in order to look the way they do, voluminous and with lots of movement, consider your length when it comes to hair dos with lots of twists and Braids. We do have Tools to make your hairstyle with more volume but it depends on how much texture you want. If not, we highly recommend natural hair extensions; they are perfect and the style looks much more polished with more hair.

I hope this tips are helpful when it comes to finding out what you want for your hair and finding something you are going to LOVE and that It will surely last all night long!

For the rest let us take control and we will make you fall in LOVE with your style

ANGELA A MAKEUP LOVER BRIDE at SANDOS CANCUN

We had the pleasure to work with Angela Depositario – Herrera who got married at Sandos Cancun. https://www.sandos.com/sandos-cancun/sandos-cancun-lifestyle-resort

Angela is a makeup lover, in her makeup bag, she had all the makeup a girl can dream of, lots of eyes shadows, powders, lipsticks, all high-end brands and the newest products, so she had high expectations!, But we rocked at it to perfection!

About her hairstyle, she chose a sophisticated up-do, she told us she wanted to look like  a real princess that day.

Not to mention she had the perfect dress to go with the look, a VERA WANG dress, it was absolutely FABULOUS!

Today we want to talk about her makeup in a more technical way, so you can see the products used to create this look, the finishing look is a piece of art and it is definitely a look we MUST talk about.

Angela decided to go for a Black & gold smoky eye to make the eyes the main feature, her skin was like porcelain and the rest of the makeup was very neutral to really make those eyes pop, the result? Judge yourselves. She was a STUNNING Bride.

Special thanks to FINE ART STUDIO for the amazing pictures. https://fineartstudioweddings.com/

How did we get the look?

The makeup Artist used MAC prep + prime to prepare her skin, and of course airbrush for a porcelain finish and a long lasting foundation.  Her eyebrows were filled and defined with lingering by MAC, the eye shadow colors that were used were by Anastasia Beverly Hills in warm taupe and Cyprus umber for a warm base tone and to add the gold touch Primavera eyeshadow was applied to the center and inner lid, the eyes were finished using MAC Blacktrack eyeliner to intensify the whole eye look. For her lips a neutral color was applied Charlotte lipstick by Tylburry.

Love a lot of products, but this one Twist, shape and texturize hair into changeable styles. Pliable fiber network provides a «web of support» for creating strong shapes that have on-going flexibility for instant replay.

*Cuauhtémoc (Makeup Artist)

My favorite product for makeup is the eye primer 24 hours by MAC cosmetics, I LOVE this product because of its high resistance to humidity, it intensifies the pigmentation of the eye shadow and it makes blending easier.

I do not have a favorite product per se but I do have a favorite tool; the waffle iron it is the best to create volume and it makes thin hair look thicker.

AIRBRUSH MAKEUP BY VO EVOLUTION

Some of our clients ask us, what is airbrush ? and what is the difference between a traditional makeup and airbrush technique ?
let us explain you !
Airbrush makeup has become more popular with the advent of high definition video and television. Traditional powder or liquid base makeup can settle and appear in pores and wrinkles and be visible on HD video, pictures etc…
Airbrush makeup is now a must in the wedding industry. As the makeup is sprayed on (with the gun), it connects with the skin as thousands of droplets of formula. The foundation (foundation HD special airbrush)
can create an even, sheer, natural appearance to the skin that, if applied property for a natural look, can appear natural and no – heavy like traditional makeup
Airbrush makeup wears longer than traditional makeup (powder or liquid foundation) able to stay upwards 14 – 16 hours, totally waterproof, humidity proof, and of course cry- proof
A perfect finish, flawless and glam look for a wedding day on the beach!
Our team is expert in this makeup technique, we provide this service to our Bride, Bridesmaids, Mothers, and of course guests too
A trash the dress session ? Airbrush makeup is definitely what you need, to look perfect underwater

IRENE GETTING READY STEP BY STEP BY VO EVOLUTION

This past February, we had the pleasure to do Irene’s hair and makeup for her wedding, a stunning Bride with a doll face.

At the time of the trial, Irene had very clear what she wanted for both hair and makeup. She chose a very elegant look with and emphasis on her eyes.

In recent posts, we talk about the whole experience, the emotional part, and the service of our company, today we want to be a little bit more specific talking about Irene’s makeup, because we are stunned by it.

First the makeup artist started preparing the bride’s skin, with a moisturizer, a primer (Smashbox photo finish) and a hydrating mist (Fix + M.A.C.). While all those products were soaking up on Irene’s skin, it was time to start with the eyes, prepping the eyes with a water proof eye shadow (Painterly Paint Pot, M.A.C), next a transition color was added on her crease (Nude, Naked Ultimate basics Palette) with a blending brush, on the inner crease the makeup artist added a very light color to make the eye look bigger (Vanilla, M.A.C) and to add depth 2 darker colors were added carefully working with layers until the desired depth was achieved (instinct & lethal, Urban Decay), on her inner crease a little bit of a shiny eye shadow to add light and make the look more glamorous (All that glitters, M.A.C), then eyeliner was applied in the waterline (smolder, M.A.C) and then it was blended with a brown color to soften the look. Last but not least was the liner on the upper eyelid to define more Irene’s eyes.

After her eyes where done, it was time for her skin to be finished, first concealer, then a layer of airbrush foundation (M.A.C HD foundation), then contouring (Kat Von D contour palette) and a little bit ok pink-peach blush on her cheeks to soften the look (gingerly and peaches M.A.C), and of course, the is no glamorous makeup without highlighter, just a little bit. (Champagne pop highlighter, BECCA).

Since the eyes where the main feature of the bride’s look, a soft pink lipstick was used, so the makeup could have a balance and look perfect (Angel and cream cup M.A.C).

Finishing with a translucent powder and a setting spray.
