Stellenbosch Bridesmaids

Anel(see earlier post), asked me to do her and two other girls' make-up for their friend, Tanya's Wedding in Stellenbosch. On my way to Stellenbosch, I saw cop cars and it turned out to be a road block! As I was driving through, I was just praying that they wouldnt pull me over...but to my dismay...they did. I got a fine for an outstanding licence disc. I was so irritated and somewhat emotional! I arrived a little late but got started with Tarien first. She wanted a smokey eye. I used a green cream colour base with bronze and black eyeshadow. I finished the eyes off with a strong black liquid eyeliner and mascara. Next was Anel. I did a soft natural look for Anel using maroon and plum tones to compliment her blue eyes. The look was soft yet striking. Last was Lisa, for whom I used bronze, copper and black on her eyes to create a smokey eye. All three girls' cheeks were contoured with some peach blush to bring colour to the face. I finished their looks off with a nude lip colour. Most of these pictures were taken by Wil Punt. P.S. I did pay my fine and also renewed my licence disc ok :)

Jozef and Tanya's Wonderful Wellington Wedding

Jozef and Tanya tied the knot on 29 April 2012. Tanya and her three bridesmaids got ready at the main house in Tangleood in Wellington, where I did the bridesmaids' make-up. They were all such stunning ladies and the make-up just enhanced their natural beauty. I used shades of plums and pinks with a black liquid eyeliner on top to accentuate the eyes and eyelashes. Tanya's photos were taken by Adene photography.

Jozef and Tanya's E shoot

For Tanya's Engagement Shoot, we went for a natural look. I used soft shades of plums and lilacs to bring out her gorgeous blue eyes. I also contoured her exquisite cheekbones to make them stand out even more. Jozef and Tanya did their E shoot in the stunning setting of Wolseley and their very talented photographer was Adene Nieuwoudt from Adene Photography.

Anel's Beautiful Bridesmaids

Anel is the cousin of my friend Jean-Marie(see first post), and we met at Jean-Marie's wedding as we were both her bridesmaids. Anel asked me to do her bridesmaids' make-up for her wedding in Paarl on 12 May 2012. I had never been to Paarl before and absolutely loved it as I was driving in this gorgeous little town. You can just feel and see so much history, with all the old little churches, museums, old dutch houses and vineyards. I met up with Anel and her bridesmaids at Zomerlust Guest House where they were getting ready. I did their make-up as we looked up out onto Paarl rock-such beauty all around us. I did Tarien first who wanted a smokey eye. Then it was Tanya's turn, who wanted quite a natural look. It was so much fun to do two totally different looks for two beautiful girls. The amazing photographer was Leanne Evans from The Picturess.
