We are thrilled to announce that Face Body Beauty has won the Oregon Bride Award for Best Makeup & Hair for 2012! This is our 3rd year in a row to win this award. We were so honored this year to also be a runner up for the Best All Around Wedding Vendor in the entire state of Oregon! We make service as much of a priority as our artistry!

Some of the team was able to make it to the awards banquet. Here is a picture of me (Jennifer), Sunny and Whitney! The rest of the team were working on photo shoots/event projects that evening. We were so excited and proud of our team!

2010 has already been an exceptional year for Face Body Beauty!In January we were awarded the Bride’s Choice Award for makeup and hair from Wedding Wire and Martha Stewart Weddings.

This month we were super excited to have been recognized by Oregon Bride Magazine as the Best Makeup & Hair for 2010.

We love what we do and are thankful for the many blessings 2010 has brought! Thank you to all of our friends, family, clients and colleagues for your support and loyalty! Much Love 🙂

I recently had another wonderful opportunity to work with Sara Gray Photography and several other amazing vendors on an pink and white brunch celebration shoot which was published on The Wedding Chicks blog.

 The basic idea for this brunch wedding celebration was to build it around a  feminine pink-and-white palette.

With this in mind, I designed a soft makeup and hair look for the bride using soft, understated pink tones.

I used a soft frosty colored pink on the lips as it photographs beautifully in naturally lighting.  Several shades of blush helped to create and enhance the natural flush of this glowing bride.

I highlighted the inner corner of the eye with a special shimmer powder to create a beautiful glow to her eyes. Just enhancing the natural glow that a bride always has! In keeping with the soft pink and white palette, I styled her hair in a soft side chignon.  Incorporating small strands of pink toned, irregular freshwater pearls added something unique to the style.

A special thank you to Sara Gray Photography for the beautiful photos and for creating such a wonderful wedding concept. Here are some of the other vendors involved in this inspiration shoot:

The Face Body Beauty team of artists get together at least once a month for artist workshops. Sometimes we focus on hair and other times we focus on makeup! We have a few areas/topics we focus on for each workshop. It is always way too much fun and such an amazing way to stay current and inspired!

Above, Nanielle is working on our model during one of our Makeup Workshops! We were focusing on soft & beautiful looks for blue eyed beauties!!

Above, Rebecca is creating lovely & soft look for our model…showing that not everyone needs to wear eyeliner on their top eyelids….some ladies look  much better and more natural without it!

Below, Oh how I love to backcomb 🙂   Imelda is curling every lock of hair just perfectly…there really is an art to curling correctly!!

Imelda and Jennifer are working on creating an “undone” style for our model! So popular right now!

  Such a beautiful, loose and undone style for our model!

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peak into the workings of the Face Body Beauty team! If there is a certain style or technique you would like us to blog about just let me know and we can make that happen!

Face Body Beauty does offer both makeup and hair styling lessons so contact Jennifer if you are interested in either a one on one lesson or small group lesson! It is a great way to learn techniques for both makeup and hair! All lessons are customized to your specific goals and skill level!
