Here is the fabulous Emilie Duncan! Hair, and make-up by moi!
www.emilieduncan.com I had the pleasure of working with Emilie for headshots she needed, and our professional relationship began. Emilie is incredibly professional, but it is balanced out with her down to earth spirit. She features vendors occasionally on her blog for 'Vendor Conversations'. It really allows brides to get to know who vendors are underneath their professions. My before/after work that is featured was done by the fabulous photographers: www.redgalleryphoto.com Read on!
Vendor Conversations: Makeup by MelissaRoshan
By way of intro for MelissaRoshan, I will just re-post what I said after she did my makeup for my new headshots:
“She did an amazing job and for me to say that is a big deal - I never think makeup looks good on me but she even did some fun false lashes and still managed to make me look like myself. Exactly what I was hoping for!”

Finally, tell us your absolute favorite makeup/beauty tip…
To find your proper blush tone, simply squeeze the tips of your fingers. This is your natural blush tone. Or, take a peek at the inside of your cheeks.. This is also your natural blush tone. So the next time you go to a make-up counter, squeeze your finger tips, and inform the counter girl you’re not giving blood—you need a new blush!
Please share a few of your favorite before and after pictures of brides…
