It's that time of the week again, where I show off my beautiful clients! This weeks Midweek Makeover post features none other than my fellow blogger and friend Numera of Hommes De Femmes!

Numera is naturally gorgeous and barely wears any makeup whenever we meet up as she clearly doesn't need it! Again, for someone who doesn't wear much makeup, she didn't want to go OTT with her makeup, but of course to have enough to make it bridal.

The first day was her traditional red outfit day and the second day featured a toned down beige with hints of bright/electric blue.

Day 1
Red outfit with light gold thread and beadwork and a blue border; eye makeup complimented the outfit's gold and red theme and of course red lips however we skipped the blue bottom liner as she didn't want too much colour:

Day 2
Beige-gold with pop of electric blue and antique gold detailing; we went for a smokey antique gold look with a pop of electric blue on the waterline which I LOVED! For the lips we decided to go for a pink-nude on the lips to contrast the first day's look:

Of course it was a total pleasure to do Numera's makeup on both days, she looked stunning on both days! 
My favourite look had to be Day 2's look with the antique gold smokey eyes and electric blue liner as I adore looks with bright colours! Day 1's look did have more contouring and looked lovely with the gold and red but I would have added the blue bottom liner too if I could ;)

Which is your favourite look?

 

Midweek Makeovers

This weeks Midweek Makeover post features one of my friends who got married this year in August and had a traditional Indian Hindu wedding.

The day was full on, starting from around 8am and she had her reception in the evening around 8pm which went on for longer.. who said weddings weren't tiring?!

Anyway, my friend (Bride V) has never been a fan of too much makeup and doesn't like to wear foundation, the most she would normally wear is a mineral foundation (not that she needs more!) so I had to make her feel like she wasn't wearing a ton of makeup and make it still look like her.
 
For her morning/day look she wore the traditional red outfit which was broken up with cream and hints of green.
I opted for a neutral gold look with a hint of red on the eyelid and a dark brown/black in the crease, with a pop of green on the lower lashline.

Before and after in natural light:

Her reception was in the evening and we altered the look to match her second outfit which was a fuchsia pink with coral and of course some gold:

I didn't get to take as many pictures for the reception as it was a bit rushed from a slight delay and having to start from scratch with both the hair and makeup but I loved both looks and think she looked stunning the whole day. If I had to choose, my favourite look from the two had to be the traditional Indian red look as the red lipstick suited her so nicely!

Which look do you prefer?

 

Midweek Makeovers

Hello my lovelies!

As you know I've been fairly busy with clients the last couple weeks in the run up to Ramadan (everyone rushes to get married before or after Ramadan!), so I thought I'd do a post showing some of the makeup of clients I actually managed to capture.

Party makeup eyes:

coral smokey look

gold-green look

gold-pink-purple look

gold-maroon smokey look

silver smokey look

I also had a few brides and managed to get a picture of two bride's makeup; one wanted a simple look for her day and the second wanted a classic asian bridal look:

classic red asian bridal look

I also had a few prom bookings in June; proms are getting much bigger as time goes on (my school didn't even have one!) but I loved doing these 16 year olds' makeup.. they're surprisingly mature and it was fun introducing them to makeup that some had never tried before!

silver smokey look with pink lips

I'll be adding these pictures (and more) to my facebook page, don't forget to like it and follow me on Instagram too if you'd like to see more of my work and up to date!
