Our fave wedding photo makeup tips
What are your favorite products? 👋
We tend to find a balance between skin looking like skin and looking like you’re wearing makeup.
We lean in towards supportive and nurturing ingredients from skincare prep to our own TL makeup line to using other products from suppliers.
Our goal is to make sure each client feels like themselves and having those conversations about their comfort levels and preferences.
This editorial photoshoot for a magazine was the same rules we’ve developed on what natural beauty makeup is and can be.
The model didn’t have perfect skin and had little sensitivity from other makeup applications, so even for this type of photoshoot, we still went with our principles.
Finding that balance between skin and wearing makeup.
Timeless, enhanced and refreshed are our goals.

When our clients prep for their upcoming photoshoots, we then create a little harmony together
What does prepping mean? Allow us to break this down.
Preparing should not be an obsession! If it’s stressing you out, you’re overthinking everything.
Preparing your wardrobe with tones that compliment you the best. If you need to shop, go shopping a week out. That’s our trick personally OR if nothing resonates, black or white is our go-to. *Black shirt will mean a bit more makeup FYI
Hair. We’ve seen it all. Don’t change anything if you just want an update or refresh with your portraits. We’ve seen the client who stresses and decides to switch up the hair, fusses to style it because it’s a new style; or expects the same results from the last photoshoot in which we’re like “You have different hair…” A new hairstyle should be well thought out!!
Lash extensions. Don’t overkill. They should allow your eyes to look and be open. A good fill should almost leave people asking “Are those real?”. We should be able to see your eye makeup. The entire eye look should be complimentary. If you have never worn lash extensions, your upcoming photoshoot may not be the best time for a trial run. Just sayin.
Skin prepping. The 1st rule is your makeup will only look extra flawless if you take care of your skin and skincare. Treatments should be booked weeks out. Ask your skin tech about recovery because if you did a peel or are using retinol, makeup won’t stick Figure out your botox and fillers accordingly. Again, if any of these are new be sure you ask questions to feel our new skin routine so that together your skin and our makeup application is close to perfection as a team.
Day of. Don’t overbook your day. We get it as we’re all busy and squeezing in a photoshoot is another thing in your schedule. We will say this. Those who plan accordingly for their makeup/hair timelines and have wiggle room to change, and feel confident going into the actual photoshoot certainly have a better outcome. Don’t rush. Enjoy this moment.
See you in our chair soon!!!
