Carsons and Cowgills in Kentucky

I am back with another amazing wedding!  I had the pleasure of acting as makeup artist for Maggie Cowgill!  She got hitched to the awesome Stephen Carson and I couldn't have been happier to be a part of their awesome wedding day.  Yep, two awesomes in that last sentence.

I met Maggie at her Mom's house in Lexington, Kentucky.  Of course, Maggie had a smile on her face the whole time I was there.  To think of it, I am not sure I have ever seen her unhappy.  Wedding jitters are certainly not enough to get her mood off kilter.

We had a wedding run-through a couple weeks earlier, so I was slightly more prepared about her preferences than most of the weddings I have done.  Everyone was a bit apprehensive about the coral lip color I had picked, so I had Maggie take it home until the wedding.  We will see how that turned out in a bit.

We got to work in a beautiful sun room overlooking the pool.  So, in lay terms, paradise.  Of course the onlookers were gorgeous!  Ok, it is my sister and niece so I may be a little biased there.


Kisses from the Father of the Bride!!!


Maggie loves a bright lip, so we decided to even out her complexion and add a coral lip.  Coral looks excellent on a fair complexion and brown hair and it certainly popped on her! (Certainly one of those gut-feeling winning situations I had)  When I do a bright lip, I follow the general rule to downplay the other features.  Maggie's beautiful eyes needed a bit of champagne eyeshadow and mascara.  Because her lid shade is naturally darker, we started with a light base.  I love the eyeshadow crayons because it gives some "sticking power" for your shadow.
