I had to rush down to the Wortham Center here in Houston to do Adanne's makeup for her engagement photo shoot. It was my first time meeting Adanne though I had spoken with her on the phone (during consultation), I've never seen someone with such a beautiful smile; right from the beginning of the makeover session till the very end. Her Fiance was of course present to watch his 'bride to be' transform into an African queen.
Usually makeup comes before the headtie, so I started by priming her face (she had cleansed & moisturized her face earlier). More often than not, I apply foundation before concealing the dark circles and spots but this time, I started with the concealer and then applied the foundation. There really wasn't any explanation for this, just wanted to do things a little different. Matching eye shadows were used and the false eyelashes (I prefer the natural looking ones for engagement/bridal makeup) completed the glamorous look. Didn't waste so much time on the lips so she could continue her beautiful smile.......lol and the makeover was completed with compact powder, cheek contour and a highlighting bronzer.
The headtie styling was a breeze, fabric was "ankara" so no time was wasted in styling it.
I really enjoyed working with Adanne and can't wait for the wedding coming up in November.
