Stunning Bride: Jasmine’s Wedding – The Langham Hotel (Chicago, IL)

February 28, 2018 | Written By: Lena Clark Beauty

Black Bride at Langham Hotel

Jasmine got married on my mother’s birthday. I didn’t plan to work that day but there was something special about Jasmine that came across in her Wedding Service Inquiry. When I read her Online Bridal Consultation and met her at her Bridal Preview I knew I made the right decision.

Jasmine is so full of life and personality she made working with her leading up to her wedding day so delightful and entertaining. She opted for the airbrush makeup application because “if it’s not airbrush are you even doing it right?” (Jasmine’s words, not mine!) She knew exactly what she wanted which made everything so easy.

Black Bride After Makeup Application

Like most of our Stunning Brides, Jasmine requested a really clean look. She wanted an emphasis on skin – glowy, expensive skin. Airbrush foundation offers a very light coverage and is ideal for clients who want a skin like finish, BUT the formula can be very unforgiving to any texture issues – such as dry flaky skin. Jasmine has healthy normal skin with an overall good tone and texture, but she did have a few areas that were a bit dry. During skin prep we used Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum on her drier areas to keep her skin soft and help seal in hydration.Black Bride Looks Into Grooms Eyes

We went with a rosy gold toned eye and added some depth and dimension in the outer corner with plums and deep browns. We finished the eyes off with flirty lashes to add a bit of sophisticated drama. For the lip, we kept everything simple with a nude pink for the ceremony. Jasmine upgraded to our Half Day Luxury Wedding Experience so I stayed with her and was able to make a few changes to her look for the reception. One of the changes included a customized red lip. Jasmine loved her reception changes and even checked back in after her wedding to get her lip color “recipe.”

This time around, the Groom and I shared a special moment when he thanked me for making his wife look so beautiful. It was his first time saying the words “my wife!” It was an such an amazing moment!

Note: Jasmine graciously shared a few of her professional wedding images with us, and her photographers over at Artisan Events granted permission for use on our website.

PSA – Brides, whether you plan to book with me, or someone else, please do not wait until the last minute to secure your wedding makeup artist and book your bridal previews. In the past, we’ve had to turn many brides away because we were already booked on their wedding date. Your wedding day is one of the biggest most important days of your life, and YOU will be photographed more than anything or anyone on this day. Don’t gamble with your wedding day beauty needs. You should plan to book your wedding makeup artist 9-12 months in advance. Once you secure your artist, book your Bridal Preview IMMEDIATELY and schedule it for 2-3 months before your wedding day. Happy planning!
