Finding your personal style

How do I choose my Makeup and Hair Look?
Hint: It starts with understanding your true self.  by Amy Palma

When you imagine your wedding day, how do visualize yourself? As an artist I can tell you what will look great on you and enhance your features. But choosing a wedding day look is not  just about my professional opinion.  It's more about understanding YOU and your vision. That's when the fun begins. Together we design a look that flatters not only your features but more importantly, your personal style.

Here is list of the most popular bridal looks. Which one are you? South Beach Bohemian Bride, Oscar Night, Earth Mother, or Sex Kitten Bride.


South Beach Bohemian Bride: Relaxed, Beachy, Romantic and Beautiful. (Recommended for daytime outdoor events) She is a free spirit who looks as if she has been frolicking on a beach vacation the week before the wedding. Bohemian bride looks like she is not trying to hard, just naturally flawless, tan and glowing.

Makeup Ideas: Smooth, Fresh look. Flawless skin. Bronzey cheeks. Lots ofindividual eyelash extensions to make eyes stand out but look natural. Lips soft pink or soft nude with a gloss.

Hair Ideas: Beachy waves(Jessica Simpson style) Pull a few strands off your face and add small flowers or orchids for a more bohemian look. Loose"effortless" updo is also an option. Waves are loose and not toocoiffed. The idea here is "effortless" beauty. Very modern, fresh, relaxed and chill vibe.


Breakfast at Tiffany's/Oscar Night Bride : Classy, Elegant, Glamorous and Sophisticated, the Oscar night bride loves the finer things in life. Her wedding will be a grand affair and she will look like an A List star walking the red carpet as she struts down the aisle, all eyes on her. She wants to stand out, play up her features and is not afraid of a little drama. (Recommended for evening affairs).

Makeup: Eyes -Dramatic, Soft lips, False lashes. You've caught they eye of your groom, now all eyes are on you. Your eye makeup is dramatic, defined and can be smokey or done in cafe or plum in the crease. Dark brown liner and false lashes. Lips are soft so as not to distract from your eyes. (Otherwise you will look like a 1980's anchorwoman.) Soft Eye makeup, more dramatic lips. Classic Movie Star Look of Yesteryear. Think Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe (Christina Aguilera channels this look today.) Eyes can be soft with a gold or champagne shimmer, classic retro inspired black liner and false strip lashes. Lips are stained in merlot, or a daring crimsonred. This look is not for the faint of heart.

Hair is more coiffed, sophisticated and structured. Bigger curls, hair can be teased at crown for more volume and worn half up, half down with some bling on your headpiece or a classy vintage brooch. Classic updos also work with this look.

Earth Mother Bride: Fresh, Very Natural, Earth Mother bride never wears makeup but knows she needs it to look good in pictures. You may be afraid of makeup and don't want to look fake. It's OK. Take a deep breath and we will take baby makeup steps. We promise not to cake it on!

Makeup Eyes are soft and natural with soft neutrals for natural definition and a maybe a subtle hint of gold. Cheeks are Rosy or Peachy. You will look healthy, fresh, innocent and youthful.


Sex Kitten Bride: Lots of Lashes, Glossy lips.

Hair is loose big and flowy with lots of volume and body. Clip in hair extensions are a great option to and length, volume or subtle highlights to her hair. Sex Kitten bride wants to look like a Victoria's Secret model. She is sexy and sensual in a classy way and in touch with her feminine and girly side.

Makeup Eyes can be smokey or dramatic, lashes are a must, lips a pale glossy pink and skin flawless and smooth.
