Your guide to gorgeous wedding make up

Wedding make up by Alyson Sichenzia

Your wedding is one of the most important and memorable days of your life so you definitely want to look and feel amazing.  Most Brides,  want a glowing, natural, wedding makeup look.

Here are six steps to a DIY Classic Wedding Look: 

Step 1) Prep your skin by using hydrating non-greasy products. Be sure to choose a primer that is serum based.

Step 2) Start with the eyes by prepping the area with an eye primer then start adding on that gorgeous, natural smoky eye pallet. The eyes are the window to the soul so if you are going to make a feature pop definitely make the eyes the focal point.

Step 3) As for your complexion, go with a light to buildable coverage just enough to cover, but not feel heavy or unnatural. Especially with the South Florida, you don’t want to wear heavy caked on makeup in the sun or heat.

Step 4) Apply a beautiful, natural highlight, and contour for dimension and glow.

Step 5) Apply eye-popping lashes for added glam.

Step 6) Pick the lip color that will say “I Do”. Go with something pretty and bold.

Most importantly if you have the budget, consider a professional makeup artist like Alyson. To perfect your look and be the most confident,  invest in a consultation with her before the big day so that you can strategize on what overall image you want for that day beforehand.  The last thing you need on your wedding day is any surprises. Remember its one day in your entire life and you want it to be picture perfect.

Beauty is skin deep by Beauty contributor Alyson Sichenzia

Beauty is only skin deep ladies and what is a better time than now to show off what your mamma gave ya! Being a makeup artist has taught me so much about not only beauty on the outside but beauty on the inside. It’s important to get plenty of nutrients on a daily basis to nourish our immune systems. The body needs electrolytes and antioxidants to feed off good energy throughout the day. During this time of year we can feel alot more run down and fatigued by the end of our work day. It’s crucial to start each day out right with a nutritious breakfast like a kale protein smoothie or an organic yogurt parfait.

That saying “you are what you eat,”  is totally correct if you are putting bad food into your body your skin will show it!  To be prepared, make your meals for the next day the night before so it’s less stressful in the morning. Believe me ladies this healthy way of life will show change in your skin and the way your skin feels.

Be sure to keep reading and consider making this your New Years resolution for 2015! What tips and tricks do you use to keep your skin looking and feeling good?

Tis the Holiday Season by Beauty Contributor Alyson Sichenzia

‘Tis the season to be jolly and what a better way to do that than with your look from head to toe. Nothing says holiday cheer like a bold red lip, pink cheeks or smokey eyes. The look I am describing is a no brainier dolls. Gather all your makeup goodies together and lay it all out. Then dig out those sparkly lip glosses and glittery eye shadows and have some fun! Play around with blending shadows and ombré lips. Don’t be afraid to be dramatic with eye liner and contour pencil. Love who you are but the holidays are a great excuse to step out of your everyday natural looks and to make a bolder statement.

The beauty of makeup is that it’s temporary and you can simply wash it off any time. Create any look your heart desires; Have fun and be bold!

Step 1) pick out 3 colors of eyeshadow  a base color, crease color, and a brow highlighter. Then use a black liquid liner to do a cat eyed look.

Step 2) pick a pretty red, pink, or coral lip color with matching liner. Top with a sparkly gloss.

Step 3) use medium to build able foundation coverage.

Step 4) set your foundation with a sheer powder by dusting it on.

Step 5) bring out your beautiful cheek bones with a plum or peachy blush. You can add a golden bronzer to contour with.

There you have it ladies!  A gorgeous holiday look to paint the town red with! Whats your favorite make up to wear during the holidays?
