i was all ears when she did my hair and makeup for my mermaid bride shoot. truth: i had never had my makeup done before and i am the biggest beauty nerd ever so everything she used and everything she did was like the coolest thing ever to me. i am now using my beauty blender religiously and definitely going to be using her method for perfect glamorous curls that last for days. these curls are soooo versatile and easy to switch up. she gently brushed them out and separated the curls for a vintage glam look, and then shook them out, combed them through, teased my hair up and turned the curls into a wild, loose, more laid-back look.
