I had the pleasure of collaborating with the fabulous Sharon Davis of Sharon Davis Makeup Artistry and Gia Peebles of Aura Salon and Boutique for a shoot featuring their 2016 glam bridal makeup and hair looks. Sharon shares her inspiration with us below.

S: Vintage Glam is a reoccurring theme for brides and I can’t get enough of it! Of course we are going to see more of this beautiful technique since the worlds Queen Bee “Beyoncé” told us to get into formation and how to ‘slay’. So our brides are doing just that.

S: My beautiful bride has been on a journey to incorporate her love for deep, rich royal colors in her July wedding color palette. Her first look displays a beautiful saturation of violets. Our goal is to share how to successfully wear various shades of violet on the eyes and lips. We balanced her look with luscious locks of hair.

S: Our Second look really pushed us into a very elegant vintage look. By sweeping her hair into an upward coif exposed all our models features. We softened the eye color with a more neutral palette and allowing the focus feature to be her lips. Again, can a bride pull off such a rich, deep color on their wedding day? Absolutely! This look complements our brides beautiful features and glowing skin.

I hope that these classic looks will inspire your wedding day look! If they do, be sure to contact Sharon and Gia.
