The Knot Magazine: Mimi's August 5, 2007 Wedding

On the Spring/Summer 2009 issue of The Knot magazine, my August 5, 2007 wedding was featured in the "Just Married" section. It came as quite a surprise, however it was a fun little aritcle that I got to add to my memory box.

Of course - my hair and makeup was done by my fabulous Maid of Honor, Taylor Pham! Taylor, thanks for playing such a huge role on my special day and making me feel and look amazing! XOXO!

Ania's After Photo

Ania is a model that I had a pleasure working with a few years ago in San Francisco. I did her makeup for a few commercials when she was a blond, so it was quite a surprise when she showed up with her new look. Ania has very distinct and strong features; at certain angles she reminded me of Angelina Jolie with her full lips and mesmerizing eyes. For this shoot, I wanted Ania to look soft and fresh. A great new look for spring. I started by re-shaping Anna's brow and lighting her brow color. Lighting the brows not only softens the complexion, but it helps open up her eyes. Because she has great skin, I only used minimal foundation and poped her eyes and cheeks with our Dao eye shadow. This product is one of our most popular colors for the eyes but I also use it for the cheeks! The great fresh rose pink color looks great on all complexion. To emphasize her eyes a bit more, I added the famous Lush Lashes...

Ania, I always have fun working with you! ~Taylor
