[Trial Bridal Makeup Session]

This is an exclusive bridal makeup consultation with Diane Gendel.

The makeup session is held in Diane’s makeup studio located in San Ramon. Wedding day services are on location.

Diane will design a custom couture bridal look just for you!

 [Airbrush Makeup ]

With airbrush makeup the foundation is sprayed through a spray gun breaking the liquid into microdots that sit on the skin giving it the appearance of a flawless complexion.

Advantages of Airbrush:

• Makeup looks seamless
• Makeup floats on top of course texture
• One product allows minimal or full coverage
• Matte Finish
  
• Flawless
• Powder cosmetics easily applied on top 

I use MAC foundations specifically designed for the airbrush gun it's a micronized airbrush formula. A cutting edge, silicone based airbrush formula developed expressly for makeup artists working in HDTV, Film and Beauty.  

• Are you the Elegant and sophisticated bride? This look is classic and timeless. Defined eyes with show stopping lashes, carved out cheekbones and a pouty lip.
• Are you the Glamorous and  sexy, bride? With Seductive, smoky eyes lots of lash, bronzy, shimmery cheeks with a flush of pink on the apples of your cheek and glossy lips?
• 
  Or are  you the  California Beach bride?, Tousled, wavy hair, ultra tanned body with bronzy shimmery skin?
  

Whatever bride you are, I will help you to get the look you want. My makeup will still be you, but stunning and drop-dead gorgeous!
You may elect to schedule the trial when you can wear the makeup for a full day or for an evening out.

 Bridal day Makeup for April
April~Bride wanted to look glowy and romantic for her wedding day.

 I used neutral brown colors on her eyes and then added sketch, a deep plum color on the outer edges of the eye to make her green eyes really "pop" She reminds me of Scarlett Johsnssen!

 Trial Makeup for Carla

Before, natural beauty

After. Wow stunning!

Carla choose the hottest look today. Smoky, glamorous look. The look that Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria and Jessica Alba wear on the red carpet. 

 On her eyes are brown, bronze and light shimmery gold colors and she's wearing lashes #7. The wedding was outdoors so I did a natural finish foundation on her that was water resistant. It kept her makeup on all day. She doesn't like lipstick so I just put a clear gloss on her lips that she touched up with at night.
