I had a trial run with Jenn, a soon to be June bride from Horizon Church. Jenn is another young, attractive makeup minimalist.

So many of my brides tell me horror stories of encounters with makeup artists who don't listen to what they want and when they are finished, it isn't an “I Feel Pretty” moment. Instead it is an, “I don't know who I am” moment.

Jenn had seen my work before since she attends my daughter's church, but we had never met. We spent an hour, designing a look for her wedding day one step at a time. I always involve the bride so that she sees and approves of what we are doing as we go along. When we finished she told me that she has never liked her make up before when she had it done, but that she liked it this time. That is always what I wait to hear! Can't wait for the wedding day!
