Alex Watson's engagement photo makeup trial
I had the honor to be asked to do one of my sorority pledge sister's makeup for her engagement photos. I was so excited to be able to share this memory with her! Alex is such a beautiful person inside AND out! She has such natural beauty, so with this simple but glam makeup look, it just made her that much more beautiful! I went for a more simple look to bring out her already pretty features, such as her amazing eyes and smile! I didn't want to do too much with the eyes, because of the flash photography would make her look a little "racoon-ish" if done too dark. I am so extremely happy for her and her fiancé Heath's big day!!
Alex,
Thank you so much for asking me to do your makeup for such a fun and memorable day for you! You are such a beautiful and great person. I had so much fun with you creating this look! Seeing you get so excited about it, and to see how much you loved it, made me so happy. Thanks for making what I love to do so easy and more fun! You are going to be a gorgeous bride, Alex!
