Wow I'm so lucky to have done the bridal hair and makeup for the cover of New Zealand Weddings magazine. This bridal shoot was done at Mollies.. A fantastic place to have a classy Auckland wedding.. Nestled in Herne bay, this wedding makeup and hair was inspired by Louis Vuitton campaign ad. Slightly 50's theme its a great bridal makeup and hair look!
This was our second Auckland bride for our wedding shoot in Herne bay. The bridal makeup was soft muted warm tones with a slight matte finish.
Her bridal hair look is youthful, elegant, modern yet different from your typical Auckland bride. A good option to try out on your bridal trial!This was our second Auckland bride for our wedding shoot in Herne bay. The bridal makeup was soft muted warm tones with a slight matte finish.

I did the makeup and hair in Auckland for
Anna Schimmel's campaign.. in These dresses were so beautifully crafted, it's really couture..
Her bridal gowns are among the best you can find in Auckland.

i must have used a can of hairspray for this wedding shoot in West Auckland. The brief was to make it a high fashion bridal look, but also very clean and pretty. Very unique bridal hair!

I really enjoyed doing this shot in Herne bay Auckland...

I prepared the hair with mousse in semi damp hair, then round brushed and pinned into a set. I then sectioned and teased, smooth hair back into a pony tail. I hid the elastic by covering it and bobby pin a piece of hair around the elastic. Then the remaining hair tease and spray with hair spray then smooth it out and pin into shape.. Yes it was a bit of work.

the makeup was soft and matte with apricot cheeks on the apple and brown shadow used as liner with a wet brush. and nude lipstick.

Simple makeup more complicated hair.

Result= groomed lady like look that is inspired by the current
LOUIS VUITTON campaign.
