additional info on the client:
- Kamille is one of those girls who does not need makeup & would still look pretty... 
- client has a very smooth skin with no blemishes or break outs at all... if you notice on my products list, I didn't use any concealers.... she only has very few freckles & that's it!
- Kamille wants a smokey eye that is a little darker than the traditional neutral bridal look colors... 
- she also wants a nude lip but I'm thinkin I might change her lip color for the reception to MAC Pink Plaid... I just think it would go well with her complexion
- Kamille is a very straightforward person... she will tell you what's up & I must say I like that in a person... 
- she also has a very bubbly personality... I think those two characteristics go well very perfectly together!! you can be honest about your opinions & be funny about it at the same time...
- she reminds me of Angelu De Leon, a Filipino actress... (to all my Filipino readers who are familiar with her) don't they look alike????



behind-the-scenes pix...







Kamille's wedding will be on the 2nd of May... I'm so excited to do her makeup on the actual day... =) she's gonna be my first bridal makeup!! yay!!
