A TWIST ON THE CLASSICS
“Romantic, soft swept hair is all the go this season. Although pinning to stay throughout the big day is key, keeping the hair loose with just a spritz of hairspray will keep the look soft and natural in your photos. Piece by piece this style was placed just so for some added texture.” -Mar of TEAM Hair & Makeup

Perfect Wedding Day Skin Featured on Style Me Pretty!

By |2013-03-08T12:02:50-07:00March 8th, 2013|Featured|

Making sure you’re bringing your skin A-game to your wedding day is on most Bride’s to-do list. It’s probably on most Bridesmaids’ to-do lists too. Because we all know the best accessory is a fresh faced glow and our resident beauty expert, Mar of TEAM Hair and Makeup, is giving you all the low down on achieving the look. Consider this your secret weapon for wedding day hotness.

Tips to perfect wedding day skin from Mar of TEAM Hair and Makeup

1. Two weeks prior to your wedding: Exfoliate
Be sure to exfoliate your skin (gently please) using items from your kitchen! This is an all natural, simple way of getting all the dead skin cells to take a hike! Do this 2 times a week.

Sugar Scrub (a super model named Ms. Crawford introduced this to me)
Take a tablespoon of sugar, add 4 tablespoons of water and mix. Wet your face with cool water and use the sugar scrub to gently massage your skin. Rinse, and you’re done!

2. Every day and night: Moisturize & Hydrate
Apply moisturizer. Some of my favorites are good old fashioned Ponds Cold Cream. This is the kind our moms use to use! And I also love Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer.

Remember: moisturizers are meant to trap moisture in your skin so spending big bucks doesn’t always mean big results! If you are looking to rehydrate then definitely ask your esthetician for the best serum for your skin type. Serums will penetrate more layers of the skin. I happen to love Phytomer Oligoforce and Kate Sommerville Quench Hydrating Face Serum.

3. On the big day: Use a barrier cream
Always use a primer or barrier cream to create a flawless finish, prior to foundations. Apply primer to your skin before any makeup is applied.

Be sure: to layer your serum first, moisturizer second and then primer. A popular type of primer is now available to the public, called BB Cream. All products are not the same so here are my recommendations for the best BB Creams and this is coming from someone who has used them all! Maybeline BB Cream adjusts to your skin tone, has a rich primer great for dry skin types and is very affordable. Another fav of mine is Two Faced tinted Beauty Balm and this one has SPF, great for oily or combination skin types.

We are definitely sticking this 1,2,3 combo in our makeup bag for safe keeping. And while we’re talking about the fabulous Mar, TEAM Hair and Makeup is hosting a Teach & Play Beauty Workshop that is not to be missed. Catch all the details below and mark those calendars ladies!

Exclusive: Style Me Pretty Shares Bridal Beauty Tips

11:30 AM, June 15 2012
Alison Syrett

Now that wedding season has started, one of our favorite bridal inspiration blogs, Style Me Pretty, is about to release a new edition of its digital magazine. The issue doesn’t go live until next Monday, June 18, but we got an exclusive sneak peek with this pretty snapshot and accompanying beauty tutorial. Here’s how to recreate the look for yourself:

1. Get smoldering, smoky eyes with Nars creme shadow in Lido or Lil Marlene. Apply all over the lid, up to the crease of the eye. Generously add Night Clubbing by Nars to the lid. Take a blending shadow blush such as Nars Shader Brush #3 and only smudge around the outside of the darkest color, blending the outline of the lid into the crease. Line your upper and lower water line (that’s the inside of the eye) with Waterproof Aqua Black gel liner by Make Up Forever. Finish it with thick fake lashes and a layer of your favorite mascara.

2. Soft cheeks are a must! Apply a pale peach blush such as Douceur by Nars, giving just a spot of color the the outside of the cheekbone. Add MAC Matte Bronzer to the hollow part of the cheek for a more defined look.

3. Lips should be nude! Try Giorgio Armani’s Plums or Beige lipstick and apply a soft, shimmery gloss like Sugar from Bobbi Brown.
