Makeup Artistry Certificate - Mission Accomplished!

I am super excited! I received my Makeup Artistry Certificate today and stoked that I have successfully completed the program at VCC.

This was a two year journey that started out of interest and in search of a hobby that could take my mind off of the stress at work.  I found the program while doing random searches online and was really happy to find a Continuing Education program that fit my crazy work schedule.

I'm proud to say that since I've completed the program, I already have three weddings under my belt from believers that entrusted me with their look on their special day.  I am forever grateful for the opportunity to share and partake on their day and for them entrusting me with such an important role.  I really enjoy being a makeup artist and making people feel beautiful on their special day.  It's amazing what a little colour can do for the mind, body, and soul :)

I am located in the Greater Vancouver Area and if anybody reading this blog is interested in using me as a makeup artist, please contact me at yourlookbyjenn@gmail.com.  I promise that once I get the professional photos back, I'll post them on my Flikr account (search "yourlookbyjenn") so that you can see samples of my work :)

Happy long weekend everyone!

A look to compliment champagne dresses

It's wedding season! I'm going to be working on 2 bridesmaid this upcoming coming and am really excited about it.

The bride told me that the bridesmaid will be wearing champagne coloured dress so I've been searching the internet to see which looks would match it best.

At first I thought that any colour would work since the dress is such a neutral colour, but then realized that I didn't want their makeup to take away from the dress but somehow complement it.  Being in a wedding, the makeup needs to show up enough for photography and the crazy flashes.

Ultimately, I went back to basics and decided that natural look that most brides tend to favour would work best on the bridesmaid as well.  Here are some of my inspiration pictures of random celebrities in champagne coloured dresses :)

Enjoy! Hopefully this will inspire you if you come across a similar dilemma! :)
