First, less is more.  You don’t have to wear a lot of makeup to make a statement.  We choose your best features and expose this, while diminishing or lessening areas that you’d rather not expose.  An example would be focusing on fabulous cheek bones because your eyes may have a heavier lid.  Or, we may want to focus on your eyes if you have a softer jaw line so we draw attention up.

Second, hydration is key.  We offer Youngblood mineral makeup for this very reason.  Youngblood mineral makeup is free of chemicals so you will not have to worry about an unwanted reaction.  The line itself helps to improve your skin over time!   We have so many “tools” (makeup options) within this line that we can offer a youthful outcome.

Finally, don’t be afraid to trust a professional.  Think about who taught you to wear makeup?  Who taught you how to apply?  For most of us the answer is, “no one, I taught myself”.  And throughout the years you may have intuitively adjusted your process or products as your skin has changed.  The best makeup artists are going to understand products, placement and technique that will offer you such excitement for your daughter or granddaughter’s wedding day.
