Kayla and Steven’s Stunning Restoration Hall Wedding

StevenandKayla'sWeddingatRestorationHallSepteber26,2015-2425

Kayla and Steven’s Stunning Restoration Hall Wedding was one of our favorites! Despite rain throughout their wedding day, this lovely couple stayed positive, looked gorgeous and had the time of their lives celebrating!

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist team loved working to create a twist (literally!) on the classic up-do for Kayla and her bridesmaids. Braids and twists are some of our favorite details for hairstyles and an easy way to take things up a knotch. Take a peek at some of the ways we chose to use these techniques –all beautifully captured by Kibler Photography. We hope you feel inspired for your own special day!

With love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Celebrate 2016 with Rachel’s Vintage Inspired Pin-up Bridal Hairstyle!

best wedding portraits

Happy New Year! We thought we would start off 2016 with one of our favorite weddings from this past season photographed by Katie Nesbitt Photography. Rachelle and Zeke planned a spectacular day at Faithbrooke Barn & Vineyard complete with a vintage inspired pin-up bridal hairstyle, a classic red truck and lots of dancing up and down the aisle!

Rachelle had a specific idea of what she wanted for her hair and makeup and we enjoyed collaborating with her to make it a reality. She requested a pin-up girl look which we achieved by putting pin-curls in her hair and creating winged eyeliner and red lip for her makeup. Rachelle was all glamour and we couldn’t get enough of it!

We’ll let her tell you a bit more about her experience:

“Your team was the absolute best. They were upbeat and fun loving and my whole bridal party felt so glamorous afterwards. Me and my sister have been a part of many weddings and usually joke about how no matter how many photos you show, or how flexible you are, most wedding hair stylists can’t seem to get the “vision” or just end up giving you a standard up-do that has no resemblance to what you were even asking for.  Don’t even get me started on the number of times we have had to redo our makeup or work together to fix a hairstyle. But, even she was floored at how perfect we all looked once we were finished, everyone was so happy and felt special, which was my goal.  Thank you and your team so much!  From our first phone call to  the last dab of lip gloss, you and your team made this experience fantastic and it was so appreciated!” –  Rachelle

Cheers to a wonderful year!

Love,

Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Charlottesville Makeup Artists Favorite Bridal Hairstyles with Monica D

charlottesville makeup artist

When it comes to Charlottesville Makeup Artist‘s favorite bridal hairstyles, we love finding the perfect balance between fashion and function — a look that is graceful and romantic but can withstand lots of dancing (trust us, our brides like to dance)! We had the pleasure of achieving this balance for our bride, Monica, and her bridesmaids on her wedding day at Early Mountain Vineyards.

For Monica’s hair, we gave her a low bun with curls and a side swoop with a little bit of volume to frame her face. The whole look was finished with a veil and jeweled clip. Her makeup was inspired by her vibrant green eyes so we used green and gold hues and earth-tone eyeshadows to make them “pop”. For the bridesmaids we also used a natural color palette and created a full range of hairstyles that put our creativity to the test! Enjoy these stunning images by Sera Petras Photography and let them inspire you for your own wedding hair and makeup!

Happy Holidays,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist Team

Charlottesville Wedding Planner Magazine

Feast your eyes on the newest issue of the Charlottesville Wedding Planner Magazine! The cover features makeup by Charlottesville Makeup Artist and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything came together! We loved working with such an incredible team, including staff from the magazine and many of the amazing vendors we have the privilege of working with on a regular basis.

The shoot took place at the quaint Foxtail Cottage and the smell of fresh flowers filled every room. We created a look with a hint of drama that included using 15 different eyeshadows to produce a soft, smokey purple hue on our model, Abbey Reddington‘s, eyelids. We also mixed a custom foundation and used light contouring and bronzer to give her a flawless and defined facial structure (which translates perfectly on camera).  Enjoy viewing the cover photographed by the talented Ron Dressel and looking through some behind the scenes pictures by Rachel Gitchell to see more of how the magic happened! We highly suggest heading to the newsstands and picking up a copy of the full magazine or viewing it online!

With love,

The Charlottesville Makeup Artist team

Lindsay’s Wedding Hair and Makeup at Keswick Hall

bridal party makeup and hair

We are so grateful for the incredible team we have at Charlottesville Makeup Artist that make wedding hair and makeup for a full bridal party a breeze! Lindsay and her bridesmaids began the day at Keswick Hall with our amazing team of talented hair and makeup artists. Together we worked hard to create looks that honored each individual’s natural beauty– inside and out! To do so, we used a soft, feminine color palette, allowed natural curls to remain curly and made sure to accentuate the bride’s electric green eyes. We are excited to share our artistry through these gorgeous images captured by Jen Fariello! Special thanks to Adam of Donovan-Groves Events and Kelsey of Keswick Hall for making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day!

With love,

The Charlottesville Makeup team
