The beautiful Kelsey went to my favorite salon, Salon Bella Flora, last week to have her hair and makeup professionally done by the stylists there. You saw her images on the last post, but here is one more just to refresh.
It is so important for my high school seniors to take advantage of a team of professional stylists and makeup artists to enhance and finish off their look. The look and polish that they can give is important to the final images and anytime that you are having a special occasion. Not to mention, it makes you feel like a princess!!
I wanted to highlight the stylists and makeup artist at my favorite salon, Salon Bella Flora. They work with me frequently and provide just the right looks to polish up the photos I create.
“Hi, my name is Corban and I am absolutely passionate about anything that has to do with beauty! I love sun bathing, playing sports, and I have a slight addiction for coffee creamer!
As a young girl, I was religiously caught covered in my mother’s makeup and now, as a woman, not much has changed ! There is nothing more rewarding to me than transforming a woman’s opinion of herself . My number one rule and motto is that beauty comes from within .
My beauty tip : For a daily quick, easy, and beautiful you 1) tinted moisturizer 2)mascara 3) lip gloss 4) studded earrings and ta da! You’re gorgeous & out the door ! “
Next is Ali. Ali is getting married soon! Big changes coming in her life!
Ali says: “In preparation
for my wedding day I’m trying to grow out my “Miley Cyrus” Hair cut. ( btw I did it first… lol) Going for more of the spring look with soft colors and long layers. (I think that will be gorgeous for a spring wedding!) Its also important to me to research all the latest trends such as airbrush makeup. Its something I think it’s amazing. Stays on great and lasts all day. Perfect for that special occasion.
Soft romantic curls are very popular right now. In order to get that special look make sure to pre-set your hair with light hold hair spray, wand tight curls then after spraying those with strong hold spray, comb through gently. Apply a thick winged eye with TiGi blackest black eyeliner for a finished look that really pops.”
Katherine has worked with me most frequently and is an absolute delight!
“The most important thing in my life is my family. I am a total homebody who loves to spend time with my husband just hangin around the house. if i had to describe myself it would be total goofball 🙂 One thing I don’t like to admit (it’s kind of embarrassing) i am addicted to reality TV.
I love my job! It is a Great way to get really creative! I have always loved art and the best part about this career is we get to be artists everyday!
Soft waves (what I like to call mermaid hair) is a great look for Spring. To achieve this style, first you need a smaller curling wand then the waves you desire. Next take medium size sections of hair, spray lightly with hairspray, then wrap the hair around the wand. Once you have finished with all of your hair take a brush and completely brush through it. The end results will be beautiful, effortless looking soft waves.”
Salon Bella Flora is now using all the TIGI products, which are salon only cosmetics. I (Kathleen) personally have the blush brush and it is such a treat to use it on my face! Feels like no other blush brush I have ever had!! I almost want to put on blush just to have it touch my face…hahaha
Any way you look at it, stylists and makeup artists are a real treat to work with. I know I feel great when they work with me and my clients all love them. Professional hair and makeup just put the finishing touches on your portraits.
