On Location Beauty Blog

So excited to post these pics!! Shannon got married in May at the St. Regis and looked fabulous!! Her photographer, Jessica Lewis, got so many great shots it was hard to just choose a few You can check out Jessica’s blog for all of the awesome details of the reception! It was really beautiful.

Getting ready…And really amazing shoes

Shannon wanted some drama on her eyes, so we went with black liner top and bottom.  On a blonde, this makes a big impact!  We did soft pinks on the cheeks and lips.  For her hair, she wanted a soft, tousled look with part of it pulled up.

The beautiful bride!!

Thank you, Shannon! It was a pleasure working with you! Best wishes for a long and happy marriage!

Here’s another before and after for you! I didn’t get to meet Angela before the wedding, so she just gave me an idea of what she had in mind via email.  On the big day, I was delighted to see that she had beautiful long, dark hair.

She wanted to wear it with loose curls and have just the side pulled back with a beautiful comb that she had purchased.  I wrapped her hair around a medium iron and finished it with a bit of shine spray and a good mist of hair spray.

Angela wanted something really glamourous for her make-up.  We did black eye liner top and bottom with false lashes.  I gave her a pop of color on her cheeks and kept the lips natural.

I was thrilled with the look and can’t wait to see how it came together with the dress!

Thank you so much, Angela, for choosing On Location Beauty! It was a pleasure working with you!!

We had a blast working with Jody and Jeannie and the girls from Details, Details on Jody’s wedding at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast.  Girls, if you are still looking for a venue…this one is amazing!! They have a great bridal suite that’s like a mini salon and, of course the grounds and ballroom are amazing.  The wedding was photographed by Hoffmann Photography, and he was kind enough to send us some images to share:

The beautiful bride!

I love this shot of the back of her hair…we did add extensions for extra length and volume…love it!

Marilyn hard at work on the adorable flower girl!

A close up of Jody’s make-up…I love the drama of the dark liner with her light hair color…it really helps her eyes to pop!

Me, hard at work…loving it!

Jody, thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of your wedding day!! It was a blast and you girls look amazing

Susan got married in Lake Arrowhead this past August at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa.  I met Susan through Kristen, one of my brides from the month before (She’s pictured far right in the photo with the bridesmaids).  They were in each other’s weddings, so it was great to be able to work with them both twice!! Susan’s photographer Sarah K. Chen  did a phenomenal job, as you can see below…

Susan has AMAZINGLY clear skin, so we barely used any foundation…that is pretty rare! She wanted a fresh, natural look with emphaisis on the eyes and lashes.  She is a huge fan on Revitalash…those lashes are all hers baby!! I know, totally unfair…but she claims it’s from the  Revitalash.  Susan wanted soft, wavy texture in her hair that rolled back in twists from her face…I think it really suited her overall look and the feel of the venue.  Mandi came along and did hair for the bridesmaids

Carmen was so kind to send us some of the great photos taken by Film Vitel.  Tessa and I did her and her bridesmaid’s make-up one morning in Pasadena and then headed over to the Make-up show down the street at the convention center…Perfect!!

Anyhow, Carmen was just beautiful…gorgeous skin and eyes and wanted something natural with an emphasis on the eyes.

For Carmen, I perfected her skin with MAC Strobe Cream and RCMA Foundation.  I used a deep plum blush and really focused on highlighing the high points of her face for dimension.  I used a lighter golden brown on her lids with a black liner to make her eyes pop.  The girls did their own hair   Carmen’s favorite lipliner is Chesnut from MAC (A definite must-have for darker skin tones!), so we used that and filled it in with a bit of nude gloss.

I like how dreamy these shots are with the veil…
