Wedding Day Beauty

April 10th, 2012

When I was in New York this past February, I had the pleasure of working with Estée Lauder‘s creative make-up director, Tom Pecheux, on my bridal beauty look. It was such a fun day – we visited Gabriella Bridal, the salon where I bought my wedding dress, then went back to the hotel where Tom did my make-up and gave me ideas on how to apply it myself. Whether you’re prepping for your own wedding or just looking for some new techniques, I hope you’ll find his tips helpful!

You can also check out my interview I did with 100 Layer Cake here!

    I’m a makeup artist and I didn’t think about putting foundation on the ears. Always learning something.

    TEETH BLEACH IS A MUST!!! especially the week before any major photos :D

    Im a fan of All white, but it can leave your mouth a little sensitive. Crest strips are great when you are on the go, especially to keep in your car. i saw them on sale at dentist.net for 10% off with a promo code “toothache”

    … I still think the bleach gel is best. but its your preference
