I adore Courtney, and loved spending time with her at our trial, and with her and her family and friends on her wedding morning at Rancho Bernardo Inn. We both share a love for fresh looks, and clean makeup. Her whole wedding vibe was so incredibly clean and elegant, and those bridesmaid dresses were perfection!!

I enhanced her beautiful features with warm tones from one of my favorite Ilia palettes, and used a blend of cream shadows with traditional, as well as several cream and powder blushes mixed in to create this effortless look (effortless looking, but still takes the full hour to create!). Rose gold airbrush from Temptu was also used as a gorgeous highlight that really popped with her look. Pro tip: Courtney made sure to get facials and take exceptional care of her skin before her wedding day. It makes all of the difference when your makeup goes on like butter from proper hydration and exfoliation.

I loved creating this loose and romantic low bun that is so timeless!

I’m excited to share some beautiful moments from her wedding day!
