Wedding hair extensions & makeup.

.

Every woman has dreamed of her wedding day, but when her man actually proposes, she may not be ready to live up to her dream. She may have imagined long, lustrous hair trailing down her bare back. But what if it’s the height of summer, and she just cut her hair short? Or what if her hair is naturally fine and wispy, not at all the look she longs for? These dreams can come true, and hair extensions are the answer.
Rosa (hair extensions)
For hair extensions, Art Occasions uses one hundred percent human hair, usually in 18-inch lengths. These come in a range of colors, which blend in perfectly with the existing hair.





Rosa (before) 

Rosa’s hair is extremely layered, with the ends barely reaching her collarbone. This style limits her choices to wearing it down in her everyday look or putting it up in a sleek updo. Both of those options can be attractive, but if she wanted more options, there simply wouldn’t be enough hair to work with.



Hair extensions added length and volume. We touched up with a curling iron and some hairspray for gorgeous, natural look. 


Using makeup, Rachanee blended a “smoky eye” look for Rosa. This kind of application helped open up her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. Rachanee kept a more natural look for the lips, adding just a lip liner and gloss. The low-key makeup on the mouth compensates for the smoldery drama going on in the upper part of Rosa’s face.  

Sandra’s mid-length hair is super fine.
To add length and volume, we used hair extensions in the lightest blond shade. 




To keep the hair in place, we anchored it with blond-colored bobby pins.
 

To show that any color can be used to enhance a wedding look – not just the usual pink or peach shades of makeup – Rachanee used a more challenging color. She used three different shades of green – yellow green for the highlight color,  olive for the midtone, and mint for the contour – blended to complement Sandra’s striking hazel eyes.Sandra makeup
