Classic Beauty for the Beach Bride

admin — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 19:00:00 +0000

A beach wedding can be as casual or as classically elegant as you see fit, lovely Sunshine Coast brides. Take our gorgeous model, Kirra, here. Sporting a relaxed chignon hair style and natural, but striking makeup, the elegance is amplified in a couture gown by Erin Clare Couture.

“Ella” was created with laser cut lace and layers of soft tulle. The illusion neckline and plunging back are delicately embellished with this unique lace.

Adding to the polished bridal look, an exquisite posy bouquet of cream and dusty pink roses with dusty miller leaves, and an arrangement of fresh florals in Kirra’s hair.

These images were ones taken on a recent fashion shoot for our Summer 2015 free online magazine, but alas we did not have room to show off all of the inspiring beauty. These are never-before-seen shots from our shoot at Shelly Beach in Caloundra.

Over the next month, lovely Sunshine Coast brides, you will have the opportunity to win a "Lovers Shoot" with none other than the amazing duo that is Wholehearted Studio Photography + Styling. This husband and wife team have honed their respective crafts, so they complement one another perfectly.

Hayley takes care of the styling side of the husband and wife team, and specialises in bespoke styling for weddings, parties, and has a particular eye for putting together props for photo shoots. Aaron is the creative genius behind the beautiful images, which are so lovely it hurts.

The Lovers Shoot up for grabs can be used as an engagement photo shoot, trash the dress shoot, or wedding day do-over, and will include :

One-hour photo session with Aaron for two people at any one Sunshine Coast location
Personalised photography styling by Hayley
Advice on wardrobe styling from Hayley
Professional hair styling and makeup application by Sally Townsend Makeup Artistry
20 edited images on CD

Your final result will be something you and your husband will treasure forever, and can really be personalised to suit your personalities, interests, as well as reflect your relationship at this moment in time.

Take a look at the below photos from a Lovers Shoot with local Sunshine Coast couple, Emma and Aaron. Their shoot was conducted in Maleny, and incorporated the couple's classic Kingswood, as well as their furry babies. Emma and Aaron are dedicated daschund enthusiasts, so Hayley worked with them to incorporate some really funky sausage dog details. We also love the retro picnic set, and the vintage camera is a nice touch, especially as Emma is also a photographer herself. The beautiful Emma sports makeup by Sally Townsend Makeup Artistry.

Natalie has designed a soft frosty eye makeup with a hint of peachy pink hue and a very light brown in the sockets. She applied a very soft peachy pink shimmery cheek with a glossy peachy pink lip.

Spotlight on a Supplier: KJ Makeup Artistry

admin — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 10:00:00 +0000

You want to meet someone super impressive? We give you Kylie-Jane, one of the Sunshine Coast most sought after wedding makeup artists. She and her team of creative and professional makeup artists at KJ Artistry make the special day of Sunshine Coast brides all the more special by providing an exceptional standard of service.

KJ Artistry was a winnner in their category in the 2011 ABIA (Australian Bridal Industry Academy) Awards, 2009 & 2010 Bridal Awards Finalist and Kylie Jane herself a 2009 Young Business Woman of the Year Finalist. She even runs her own makeup training academy, and is a wife and mother of two! Talk about superwoman-stylin' it up on a daily basis…

Today, however, we get to know Kylie-Jane on a more personal level. Because we think it's nice to meet people on a personal level, we introduce you to the very lovely – inside and out – Kylie-Jane of KJ Artistry.

TBT: What is something very special to you in your life?

KJ: My Family – my husband, Scott, and our two kids, Ezekiel (4yrs) and Jonah (almost 2yrs.)

TBT: What is your shopping weakness?

KJ: Accessories, I am totally addicted to earrings, handbags & accessories (scarves/headbands etc) – I am a sucker for buying them! And of course makeup, I own way too much of it!

TBT: Do you have any pets?

KJ: Yes, a dog and cat, we have had many fish, they are all in fishy heaven. I think the last one was Nemo #6!

TBT: What do you love about your job?

KJ: The thing I love most about my job is seeing the reaction when someone looks in the mirror after having their makeup done. I love the screams (of joy), the excitement and the tears that often follow – the feeling that you have just made that person look and feel like a million dollars. Some women have never felt glamorous or beautiful before, and I feel privileged that I get to create that feeling for them.

TBT: What pieces of advice would you give to a bride looking for a makeup artist?

1. Check out our website – www.kjartistry.com ha ha!

2. Make sure you view your potential makeup artist's portfolio (make sure it is quite a varied portfolio to give you an idea of the range of "looks" they can create.)

3. Have a trial! Your expectation of what you are after for your wedding day may or may not eventuate on your actual wedding day if you don’t have a trial (and often there is not a lot of time on a wedding day to "play around" with looks.) A trial gives you the opportunity to try the products that your makeup artist uses, a chance to have a chat about the style of your wedding and the look that you are after, and to test the durability and endurance of the makeup to see how it will hold on a wedding day (average endurance needed is 12hrs.)

TBT: Who inspires you and why?

KJ: I'm not inspired by one person as such, but I am constantly inspired by many mediums – e.g. Makeup that I see on TV, in magazines , in books etc. At present I am most inspired by the enthusiasm of my Students at our KJ Artistry Academy. They are studying a Diploma of Retail Cosmetology & Makeup Artistry Course, and their drive, thirst and passion to learn as much as they can, reminds me why I love what I do! They inspire me.

TBT: Tell us a bit about KJ Artistry.

We provide on-location and in-studio bridal makeup services within South East Queensland. KJ Artistry consists of a team of dedicated make-up artists, who love and specialise in bridal and special event makeup artistry. We would love to enhance your natural beauty while creating a flawless, radiant look that will last throughout your next special event.
