A Spring Bridal Makeup in shades of Purple, Bolingbroke Mansion in Radnor, Pa

spring makeup
One of our beautiful May brides had a purple theme for her garden wedding at Bolingbroke Mansion in Radnor, Pa. 
The secluded gardens at Bolingbroke make it a lovely place for pictures and an outdoor ceremony. Unfortunately, the weather forecast was not so good for the day. Luckily, there was a back up plan and lots of umbrellas on stand by. The ceremony would be held in the nearby chapel in case of rain.

 My friend Cathy, a hairstylist, and I arrived at the bride's home in the morning to do her makeup and hair. We also did the mother of the bride and a bridesmaid. 


Bridal hair style
The bride chose a 1/2 up, 1/2 down hairstyle with curls and a small poof in the back which looked just perfect with her headband.

For her makeup, she wanted dramatic eyes with strip lashes and purple shadow to go with the purple theme of the wedding. I used creamy beige liquid and cream foundation to give her skin a flawless look. The eye shadow colors were shades purple and a pink for a nice springy look. Her eyes were lined in black with a thick line on the top to hide the band of the strip lashes. Black mascara helped to blend the natural lashes with the strip lashes. Soft pink blush and lipstick complemented her skin tone.

She looked absolutely gorgeous!!!

 Her bouquet was shimmering with color! It was a brooch bouquet that the bride made herself which included sentimental family brooches. All those brooches it a heavy bouquet.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out. Read more about blackhead, whiteheads and blind pimples This is a common problem for the under-eye area. It is a dry, delicate area of the skin. I see it a lot on my clients. Heavy products

Why does my lipstick change color on my lips?

So, you found a gorgeous shade of peachy nude lipstick.... right on trend. It looks amazing in the lipstick tube but when you put it on, it turns orange within 15 minutes!  It happens to me all the time. Pigments in the lipstick react with the chemistry of the skin and change color. This color shift is due to the pH of the skin. Our skin has an acidic pH of 4.5 to 5.5. It varies slightly from person to person which is why lipstick changes on some people and not others.  The oil, sweat and bacteria on our skin create a protective layer called the acid mantle with its pH of 4.5 to 5.5. The acid mantle can change due to how we treat our skin.  The skin pH can change due to the environment.  The sun, as well as pollution, can affect skin's pH.  What we eat can affect the pH of our skin.  Sweating and cosmetic products can also change pH.  The skin will always try to get back to 4.5-5.5 no matter how we abuse it.  Use gentle pH balanced skin care products, eat a healthy diet w

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j
