Who was brave enough to have their wedding during fall season?
.
I am literally falling for the autumnal color palette 🍂 and weddings❤️ I missed taking care of brides during golden months of autumn.
Yesterday I had the chance to do makeup for my beautiful bride in a charming villa from Eden Cap Roc in Antibes 🌿 surrounded by big gardens and nature.
The morning before I arrived at the wedding venue, there was a big storm on the way from Nice. Rain was pouring so bad, as I couldn't see anything on the highway🤯. 2 hours later, the skies were so clear, sun was back warming up everything so quickly I couldn't believe. Right before we were about to start the bridal preparations! 🥳
Later on, before the ceremony starts everything was covered up in a soft golden light.🌇 Any photographer's dream.. Oh yeah. That's when we took this candid of my beautiful bride. 🥰 There's something simple, yet so special about the sunsets in October! Don't miss them out.

Constantly searching for the best concealer? Me too. 🙃
.
Magic Away Liquid Concealer is my latest discovery this month - thank you @ctilburymakeup for sending me these beauties ❤️. I am happy to share some raw swatches with you. If you swipe right you will see how the texture looks when applied on my skin, how it blends away and how the cushion applicator performs.
.
It promises an incredible full coverage that reduces the appearance of dark circles, blemishes and imperfections.
.
How it works for me?
After testing it on my hand as you can see 🙋🏼‍♀️, I've been trying it on myself🤪 and then on model🧐 - that's the 3 RULE PRODUCT SWATCH for me before I decide if an item is GOOD ENOUGH to add in my travel makeup kit and use it for clients.
So, I like that it's blending nicely, it lasts all day, it doesn't look cakey if applied correctly.. and it comes in 16 neutral, cool & warm different shades 🥳 which is a big yay for me as a mua!
And it's cruelty free 🐰
.
How to use it?
Personally I am not a big fan of these kind of applicators, so I am applying the product by using a brush.
A little goes a long way. Apply just a touch of concealer under eye or wherever you might need color correction and blend it away with a brush, beauty blender or by using your fingers. Be careful not to go very close to the eye area because it will crease - no matter what product you are using. I recommend to use a light powder to fix the concealer even if you have dry complexion. .
Shades swatched:
🌠 1 FAIR
🌠 4 FAIR
🌠 6 MEDIUM
🌠 9 TAN
🌠 11 TAN
🌠 12 TAN
🌠 13 TAN
🌠 14 DEEP
🌠 15 DEEP
🌠 16 DEEP
.
Don't forget that skin care if key 🗝️ for any good makeup application. So, if you want your lovely makeup products to perform at its best, create a good constant skin care routine. Promise, you'll see the difference.

MAKEUP IS...
.
What is makeup for you?
Complete the sentence
with what makeup means to you.
Is it a routine?🤦🏼‍♀️ Or a passion?🥰 Is it a straight self-care🥴 or an artistic way of expression👩🏼‍🎨?
.
For me makeup means many things. It's color, products, textures, symmetry, it's the way I like to express myself. My passion and every day work. Makeup is my easy way to socialize, bonding new relationships and meeting fellow artists. Who was ever feeling uncomfortable discussing about eyebrows or their new favourite mascara!
Makeup is not about impressing other people - except my clients. Because there's no better feeling than nailing a winged eyeliner, looking fly AF. I love seeing makeup brands growing and developing revolutionary new formulas for us, watching their publicity campaigns and approach to new trends every years. Makeup is creativity.

'Do whatever brings you to life, then. Follow your own fascinations, obsessions, and compulsions. Trust them. Create whatever causes a revolution in your heart. '.. KIND OF MOMENT ❤️
A moment of acknowledgement and introspection after a busy, cheerful, twisted season. Thank you @cancancontent for inspiring me to read again the #BigMagic book written by Elizabeth Gilbert. Such a gem.
It' s not easy to keep your creativity alive 24/7 especially in a bubble world where you gotta find time for reading, giving, exploring, travelling to new places you've never been, connecting with new people and keeping a close relationship with your loved ones, dealing with everyday fuzz, cleaning, shopping, self care, while answering to all inquiries and requests. And so on. While you're an great antreprenor, friend, sister, daughter, mother, lover. If not passion and devotion.. Than.. what is keeping you going on so fiercely?
