Freckles are Friends
I think freckles are adorable and people that have them always have added liveliness to their skin. It’s kind of like having permanent blush or a semi-tan! I like to use products with a natural finish to brighten up certain areas of the face on people with freckles, allowing the natural dimension of the freckles to show through. 
Here’s what I used:
Complexion: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Nude, Tarte concealer in Light Sand, Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc in Peach Mosaic to illuminate inner corners of eyes, center of nose, and above lips, Tarte Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride, Maskcara Cosmetics to contour in Stone
Eyes: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer, MAC Eyeshadows in Bronze and Carbon, Stila Liquid Eyeliner, Short Flare False Lashes and Lancome brow pencil in Taupe.
Lips: Urban Decay lip liner in Obsessed, Bite Lip Mask in Champagne.

Brow Stencil
Tori was such a sweet, relaxed bride. We watched Lion King while I did her hair, it was awesome! I thought her before and after would be a good example to show when it’s a good idea to use a brow stencil, since I don’t always use them as you can see in my brow video.
Sometimes brows look better when they’re filled in just by hand, but for photos or if you’re going to be filling them in a lot, brow stencils can be super helpful. I use the Anastasia brow stencils and you just hold the stencils up to your brows until you find the stencil that is closest to your natural brow shape, then use that stencil as a guideline for both brows. 
I’m such a fan of Tori’s freckles, but she said for her special day she wanted completely even, porcelain skin. I like her skin both ways. She’s so pretty!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Kjerstin Makeup
Doing makeup on someone with colorful hair like this made me have to think a little bit (heaven forbid right!? 😛 ) Like hmmm, do I need to do brighter makeup so her hair doesn’t take all the attention away from her pretty features? Or do I do lighter makeup so things aren’t competing? After a couple of adjustments and finding out the location of the photo shoot, I decided that a gunmetal-neutral toned smokey eye and slight pop of color on the lips would be a good balance.
Here’s what I used: (P.S. ARE THESE LISTS USEFUL? COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW! Yes, No, Kinda Sorta?)
COMPLEXION:Temptu s/b Foundation in 004 (this can be applied with a sponge or a foundation brush also! And that’s a great price on Amazon for both the beauty blender and It Cosmetics brush.)Laura Mercier Secret Concealer #3, High Beam to illuminate, MAC Blush in Well Dressed,Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Elvis Duran.
EYES:Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer,MAC Eyeshadows Kid on the crease, Carbon on the outer corners. Stila Vintage Black Gold on lid applied lightly, Stila Liquid Eyeliner, Hypnose Mascara, Ardell Wispies strip lashes, Anastasia Dipbrow in Blonde for brows.
LIPS: Lancome lipstick in Fleur De Lis, Urban Decay liner in Native, Buxom gloss in White Russian.
