The Eyes Have It – by Deb Valle

If you don’t know it now, you will soon figure out that your BIG day is all about the pictures! YOUR pictures!

Bridal Makeup

It’s very unlikely that you’ll look back at your entree selections, your flowers or even your venue and ever think “OMG! What was I thinking?” On the other hand, choose NOT to have professional makeup and a fantastic hair design and you almost certainly will!

Even you ladies that are not a fan of makeup, trust me, you should have your makeup professionally done. Family with good intentions, friends that are “good at it” or thinking to yourself, “Oh, I’ll just do it myself” or even worse – doing your normal makeup routine – are things you should most definitely avoid! You cannot undo bland or just plain bad pictures!

I LOVE eyes. They speak to you; they can lead to the center of your soul. And they can make or break your whole look.

Your eyes are the center of your face and you want them to POP! On your wedding day, your eyes have got to make a powerful statement!

Whether yours is a daytime or evening wedding…slightly bolder makeup is a must. I am not talking about dark or heavy with loads of thick black liner. I am, however, talking about enhancing your brows, using shadow two to three times darker than you normally would, liner a little bolder than you’re used to and in most cases, lashes! Adding lashes, even when you have been blessed with fantastic natural lashes bring out your eyes in an incredible way – on and off the camera! It may take a little getting used to but when all is said and done, you will have a stunning look for your photos.

Trust your makeup artist to help you achieve that stunning look and don’t be afraid to share your likes/dislikes at your trial. Makeup wipes off and we want YOU to love your look. We work with photographers on a regular basis to help you achieve a perfect balance between “real life” and amazing makeup for your photographs. Team Beauti always has your best interest at heart and promise that you will love the results!

Miami Madness!

Team Beauti enjoyed themselves this past Monday at The Wedding Salon Bridal Show in South Beach!  Six of us headed down to participate in this event because of our recent expansion to Broward and Dade County.  We had the privilege of doing the hair and makeup on four of the models for Sasha’s Bridal Boutique which was showcased throughout the evening.  When the doors opened at 4pm, the brides were immediately drawn to our booth.  We were demonstrating the airbrushed technique on anyone interested.  When I looked back behind me to see how crowded the room had gotten, I saw that both Deb and I had a line of 5 brides deep waiting to try the airbrushed makeup!  We went nonstop for 3 1/2 hours!   Thanks to everyone who helped make that bridal show such a success and I look forward to hearing from all those brides who loved the airbrush look!      Joanne ~ Team Beauti

 

Airbrushed vs. Traditional Makeup

We get this question quite often…”What’s the difference between airbrushed makeup and traditional makeup?”  The answer is BIG!  When you’re having your makeup done professionally for an occasion such as a wedding and your picture is going to be taken countless times for numerous hours, airbrushed makeup is the answer to your prayers.

Airbrushed makeup is either water based or silicone based.  Water based has a matte finish and silicone based has a dewy finish.  In my experiences, I have found that both last approximately 14 hours, is sweat proof and can be reasonably water proof.  Airbrushed makeup goes on with an air compressor which, when done correctly, leaves a flawless finish.  When done correctly, airbrushed makeup does not look “cakey” or feel heavy.  In fact, many of my brides have said that it doesn’t even feel like they are wearing makeup.  Check out the gallery of photos on www.TeamBeauti.com, the majority of those brides have been airbrushed.

On the other hand, traditional makeup is your typical liquid foundation.  It’s applied with the artists’ fingers, sponge or brush.   The application, regardless of technique, tends to have a heavier feel and look.  It has a lasting power of approximately 8 hours and most brands are not sweat proof or water proof.  In fact, many brands of traditional makeup have an SPF which does not photograph well.  It often leaves the subject looking “pasty” or “ghost-like”.

The best way to find out which type of makeup is best suited for your skin and your taste is to set up a trial with your makeup artist.  This is not something you want to play with on the “big” day.  The artists on Team Beauti specialize in airbrushed makeup application and can help you make the best decision for you.

The “Beauti” Behind the Brush #2

This post is about me, the owner of Team Beauti.  I am a Registered Nurse, Esthetician, Makeup Artist and Laser Technician.  Not to mention a wife, mother, taxi driver, chef, maid, teacher etc.  I started Team Beauti almost five years ago and have loved life ever since.  There’s nothing better than waking up in the morning and being excited to go to work!

10 THINGS ABOUT ME

1. I married my best friend from high school and without him I wouldn’t be who I am today.  I am a better woman, mother and business owner because of him.
2. I love the sound of little feet in the morning heading towards my bedroom.  I also love, equally as much, the sound of my daughter saying “Good Night Mommy!”
3. I can count my true friends on one hand.  Quality is more important than quantity.
4. I am a Jersey girl.  Please don’t hold it against me!
5. I grew up “comfortable” but my parents made me buy the Jordache jeans I wanted with my own money and I was only allowed to wear them once a week!
6. I am addicted to shoes.  I am a member of two shoe clubs!   Yes…shoe clubs!
7. I was a Pediatric Nurse for 10 years.   There were good times and bad times.  I have never met so many heroes in my life as I did in those 10 years.
8. I love it that my 13 year old son will still cuddle on the couch with me!
9. Doing makeup on a bride or model is fun and never feels like work.
10.  I don’t sleep well the night before someone’s wedding.  I’m afraid I might oversleep, go to the wrong venue or forget something important like my airbrush machine!

The “Beauti” Behind the Brush

The talent that Team Beauti fosters is second to none.  I’m so proud to work with these girls.   Deb has been  doing makeup with Team Beauti for almost 4 years now and has been a true friend since day one.  She is amazing and is so passionate about her work.  Read below and find our more about this “Beauti Behind the Brush”.

10 THINGS ABOUT ME

1. I am a Christian and believe in the power of prayer. I even pray for my brides, their future, even the weather on their big day.
2. I love being a Mom.  There is nothing about my son that I don’t absolutely adore! A day does not go by that I am not amazed by him. He is my angel and very heartbeat.
3. My husband is the smartest man I know – and I hate it! I will never admit that to him directly. 
4. There is nothing more important than my family. I’m loyal and honest, tend to trust too quickly and treasure my true friends.
5. I am quick to call Mom when I need a boost.
6. I grew up in the “boondocks”, built secret forts in the woods and rode my horses everywhere in Royal Palm Beach and Wellington.
7. I am most comfortable in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt.
8. There is nothing I enjoy more than an iced cold beer with friends on a hot day.
9. I love early morning walks – watching the world wake up, the smell of fresh cut grass, rain and suntan lotion at the beach.
10. I am a graphic designer, love illustrating with pencil and am fascinated with anything creative.

Deb was brave enough to put herself out there first…plus it was her idea!  I’m working on my Top 10 things and will publish it soon!

Thanks Deb!
