Wedding Day Glamour
The Fountain Spa’s Bridal Beauty Tips:
Go Bold … “Wear false lashes. They make a dramatic difference in photos.”
Get Ready … “Make sure your hair is freshly cleaned and blown out straight with little or no conditioner the day before getting any hairstyle.”
Forever Elegant
At left and in the cover photo below: “To complement the loose curls of Niki’s hair and delicate lace of her gown, I chose a soft smokey eye using a copper and brown palette from Lancôme and brown pencil eyeliner from Make Up Forever. Strip lash Demi Wispies from Ardell enlarged her eyes and made them pop!” ... “I gave Niki soft Hollywood glam waves to offset this beautifully extravagant dress! I used a 1-1/2 inch Hot Tools Marcel iron to set the curls and SUDZZfx AreoFixx hairspray and Aquage shine spray to finish the style.” (Gown: Eve of Milady, 357)

Lasting Glamour
“Since an updo tends to be a more severe hairstyle, I wanted to keep Niki's makeup soft. I picked a nude pink lip from NARS and evened out her complexion with Temptu Hydra Lock airbrush foundation. I refined her eyebrows with Kat Von D brow pomade.” ... “This dress says sleek elegance, so I put Niki’s hair up in a sleek yet whimsical chignon to let her beautiful face and dress take center stage. I used a 1-inch Hot Tools Marcel iron, Kevin Murphy DOO.OVER spray and SUDZZfx AreoFixx hairspray to lock it in.” (Gown: Jude Jowilson, Louise)
40’s Starlet
“Niki’s hair and dress are so romantic. I didn't want to distract from them. I gave her a soft highlight with NARS Capri highlighter. I also gave her lip a light lilac color. The NARS palettes are great because you can mix the pigments to your desired intensity.” ... “I wanted to show off the beautiful bead work around the shoulders so I gave Niki a side-swept wave. I used a 1-1/2 inch Hot Tools Marcel iron and SUDZZfx AreoFixxx hairspray to set the style.” (Gown: Eve of Milady, 363)
