Exceptional Beauty Makeup Artistry By: Tiffany Crews

As a professional makeup artist  I believe that makeup and skin care go hand in hand. That is why I decided to attain my esthetician license in order to enhance my knowledge and skills as a beauty professional. I have been serving brides with makeup artistry since 2005 I started my own freelance business in 2006.  I love working with brides, it gives me the opportunity to take a plain canvas and turn it into a beautiful work of art. I attained my makeup artist experience through esthetician school in addition to working as a makeup artist for Lancome Cosmetics, Bare Escentuals, and Being True Cosmetics.  I have continued my education in makeup artistry through various classes and workshops. I use professional makeup products with my service, they include Stila, M.A.C., Lancome, Kryolan, and Private Label Cosmetics. I also use I Envy by Kiss eyelashes which are 100% human hair fibers so they look very natural and they are weightless. These lashes are suitable for contact lens wearers and they have been approved for cancer patients.

As a licensed skin care therapist at The Flowering Almond Spa located at The Founders Inn in Virginia Beach VA, I have had the pleasure of working with several brides in getting them ready for one the most memorable days of their lives. As a professional I believe that the way your skin looks affects the way your makeup appears. That is why I offer a skin consultation within the bridal makeup consultation to address any skin concerns that my clients may have before their wedding day. I also recommend customized skin care regimens for my brides to utilize at home to maintain the health of their skin.

I have experience with all ethnicities regarding makeup application and skin care. I also specialize in facial contouring, which gives my clients a non-surgical facial enhancement creating the perfect face. In addition, I offer brow tweezing and brow threading services to give my clients the best brows to frame their beautiful faces. I offer strip and individual eyelash applications as well.

( No makeup application is given during the free consultation). Contact me for my availability concerning the consultation either by phone at (336) 202-1085 or by email at exceptional_beauty@hotmail.com.

_ If a client decides to utilize my esthetician services offered at The Flowering Almond Spa (www.floweringalmondspa.com) or at Private Moments Day Spa (www.privatemomentsdayspa.com) they are welcome to by contacting either facility and making an appointment with me with the receptionist. I recommend beginning facial services in preparation for the wedding day at least six months in advance to get your skin in top notch shape for your special day.

_ If a client is wanting to get a bikini wax service before their wedding day, I recommend doing so at least one week in advance to allow any redness or irritations that may occur time to heal before the wedding day.

_ If the client is on accutane, acne medications or acne antibiotics from a dermatologist she should not be recieving any waxing services. Only tweezing and threading are suitable options to avoid adverse skin reactions.

For natural wedding day radiance:

• Sleep at least six to eight hours everyday! Okay, I know this may be a tall order for a busy bride but rest is important to renew your energy and give your skin the chance to revitalize itself. You would also get rid of bags and dark circles under the eyes that are induced by sleeplessness.

• Maintain a well balanced diet. This may be another task for a bride always on the run but you must treat your body well for it to treat you well. Pack fruits into your bag like apples, oranges and grapes so that if you miss a proper lunch you can always eat them on the go. Carry a water bottle as well so that you can easily drink the eight glasses a day that you need. A hydrated body means supple and smooth skin.

• Exercise for 30 minutes, three times a week. Even if this means taking a brisk walk or jog, do it. Your circulation needs to be pumping so that your skin can be healthy. Besides, that flush to your cheeks is the perfect color for the blush you would choose for your wedding day makeup.

• Six months in advance, schedule monthly facials with an esthetician. By your wedding day, your skin would be healthy and glowing.

• Invest in an eye cream to combat darkness, puffiness and wrinkles well in advance of your big day. Put it on nightly so that you can awaken to visible lift and firmness around the eyes.

• Use a mask once or twice weekly to address problem areas in your skin and increase suppleness, smoothness and softness.

• Book a massage the day or morning before the ceremony. A relaxed bride is a happier, worry free bride to have for company.

• Get your eyebrows professionally shaped a week before the wedding day. This gives the brows time to calm down if there was any redness of irritation. If there are any stray hairs, a quick plucking should do the trick, once you keep the professional shape.

• Worrying and younger brides may experience breakouts. If you get a pimple close to the big day, keep your hands away from your face. Apply a treatment nightly and be very careful not to pop it as your skin would only look inflamed.

• Book a makeup trial at least 2-4 weeks or so before the day, so you can be comfortable with the makeup. The last thing you need is an unpleasant surprise on your wedding day. Put these measures into place to ensure that the most radiant person at the wedding is you.
