How to Make Your Cream Eyeshadow Stay

I love the look of cream eyeshadows! It creates a sexy, dewy look but unfortunately they usually don't stay as well as powders. Well, I am here to tell you how to get the dewy look without ending up with goo in your crease half way through the day!
First of all, you have to use a primer (I love the Urban Decay one). This will create a base for the cream to adhere to. However, if you want to avoid that extra step (because face it who has all the time) I would suggest getting a cream shadow that dries to a powder (I love the MAC paints or the Cover Girl intense shadow blast). For bolder color, layer the cream shadow and use a powder eyeshadow to set it. This will give you all day wear and the shimmery shadows still give you the dewy look!

Spotlight Bride: Sepideh

The amazing photographer Roberto Valenzuela just shared some photos of a bride I worked with back in September and I just had to share her gorgeous photos with you! First of all, she is a beautiful girl... so it wasn't hard enhancing her natural beauty. But, I have to admit that I am very proud of the hair and makeup I did on her. Her face is glowing in all of the photos and even when you look at photos of her cutting the cake at the end of the evening, you could see that her makeup and hair is still perfect! YAY! Mission accomplished :)
