One Of The Reasons I LOVE What I Do

My job is so rewarding and I am so thankful to be able to do what I absolutely love doing...MAKEUP!!

Over the years, I've received so many thank you cards and e-mails and there is nothing more rewarding than knowing you made someone so happy on one of the biggest days of their lives. And to actually be a part of their Special Day is truly an honor. Below is an e-mail I received a few weeks ago from one of my wonderful brides that I would love to share. Nicole writes:

Hi Denise,
Just wanted to send you a quick email cause I know things got a little crazy once the photographer showed up. Sorry this thank you is finding you so late. I can not thank you enough for the beautiful job you did on my make-up as well as with my mom, aunt and bridesmaids. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. I felt like I never looked more beautiful and i know my new husband thought the same. I felt amazing all night long and I have you to thank for making my day so special. You knew exactly how I wanted my make-up done and it went great with my hair and dress. I will not hesitate to recommend you to my other friends who are soon to be brides!
My pictures came absolutely beautiful because of you. Here is the link if you wanted to check out some of the ones with my makeup getting done.
Thank you again
Nicole

Beauty Article to be Published

When it comes to makeup, it's not that often I get to put my makeup knowledge into words. Usually it's the "final result" that speaks the loudest!! :)

But just last week, I was interviewed for an upcoming article on http://www.everydayhealth.com/ to share my insight on makeup for women/girls with acne prone skin. Such a great topic, because so many women battle acne prone skin way beyond their teen years. I really got to put my skin care "expertise" to the test.

Choosing makeup products, especially foundation can be overwhelming for many. And trying to cover acne and the scars it can leave behind, for some, is quite a challenge.

Ironically, this is one of the biggest requests I get from my bridal clientele. Not just those with recurring acne but brides that, for the most part, rarely break out but anticipate waking up on the morning of their wedding, glancing in the mirror and seeing a red inflamed blemish. Yes, a bride's worst nightmare and the tell tale sign of their pre-wedding related stress. We've all been there!!

Of course, on "The Big Day", my airbrush machine along with a few drops of the right custom blended foundation will magically do the trick. Unfortunately, on a day-to-day basis this isn't an option.

Luckily, there really are some great products on the market for concealing, protecting and healing most nasty outbreaks. With the right products and a little bit of practice, most blemishes can be your little secret!!

Looking forward to seeing the final copy of the article in about 2 months. I'll definitely have it posted once it's online.....

"Beauty"ful Wishes,
