Professional Makeup

I had a makeup artist contact me a couple of months ago to talk about weddings, brides, etc. As a photographer, I LOVE professional makeup... yes, it seems like they use a lot, but it works great for pictures. Anyway, I don't like to recommend vendors I haven't used, so I decided to have a makeup lesson. I really did this for two reasons, one was to learn more about makeup, and the other was to see if I would recommend her to brides.

She used MAC cosmetics, and did a great job!! I have completely changed the way I use makeup, and although I felt like it was a little much at first, I have received a lot of compliments on my new look. I don't use quite as much as pictured below, but you get the idea.

I HATE the idea of people seeing me without makeup, but I figure if Oprah can do it, so can I. Afterall, she is the poster child for professional makeup... she really does look horrible without it. But, you have to give her credit, she lets people see her that way!

Anyway, her name is Jennifer Palermo, and she can be reached at 724.502.6006 or makupartist@zoominternet.net.

I liked her because she wasn't selling anything, she was simply there to teach me how to look better. I definitely recommend calling her if you're considering having your makeup applied.
