MMC Makeup Artists

This has been a long time in the making, but I am so happy to announce the launch of MMC Makeup Artists this month! It's been a goal of mine to start a team of makeup artists to help serve my clients better and WOW, today is the day I realize that goal!

What makes a MMC Makeup Artist unique?

MMC Makeup Artists cater to the distinctive woman with coveted makeup styles... from classically understated to elaborately dramatic, they always accentuate the natural beauty in each individual face.
They have worked with hundreds of models, actors, brides and other clients and have experience with many cultures and ethnicities from around the world.

Their applications can be provided on location and are uniquely crafted to suit the distinctive complexion and style of each individual client using products designed to provide an enduring and flawless finish.

Not only are all MMC Makeup Artists schooled in the trade of makeup artistry, they also must go through an extensive internship with me before they can be considered a MMC Makeup Artist.



And now to announce who the MMC Makeup Artists are!

Lauren Morris is a talented and capable makeup artist whose creative style emphasizes the natural beauty in every face while always meeting the expectations of her clients.
She attended one of the most recognized makeup schools in California and has a degree in beauty, character and special effects makeup, but specializes in beauty and bridal makeup. She also successfully completed an internship with me in 2009.

Austin Wedding Guide - November 2009

I am so ecstatic to announce that the November issue of Austin Wedding Guide is out... why? Because I was lucky enough to be the makeup artist for the cover as well as the eight page spread inside!!

I love the concept of this spread, Day to Night. It showcases both a daytime, garden wedding as well as an evening, indoor wedding. I can't decide which one I like the best... I'll let you decide for yourself, here are some pictures!






A lot of preparations and hard work went into making this amazing shoot possible and I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all those who were involved!!

Photography: Maria Bernal
Models: Kendall, Melissa, Megan, Julie and Karalyn
Location: Dunvegan Keep
Flowers: Brenda Abbott Floral Design and WOW Factor Designs
And last but certainly not lease, Austin Wedding Guide!

What's in Vogue: October 2009

Daring lips, muted eye
Intense lipstick can be both powerful and pretty. Pair bright scarlet or deep crimson with subtle eye makeup for one of the hottest trends of the season!


products I love
NARS Illuminator in Albatross
Dust this across cheeks for a instant glow without looking too pink!

Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Makeup Remover
At the end of the day we all want to relax... let your eyes relax also by using this to remove any trace of makeup, even waterproof!


MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger
This is one of my all time favorite reds... not only do I wear it all the time, I even used it for the picture above!

Daguerreotype

When photographer Tania Quintanilla sent these images to me I was blown away. I put them on my computer's desktop and I stared... and stared. I'm still staring three days later.

Wedding: Nadia & Thomas

I truly enjoyed being Nadia's makeup artist for her wedding and her bridal portraits; a few of which you can view below. I went along with Nadia and Dustin Meyer, her photographer, on the day of her bridals' for touch-ups and lots of fun!

Nadia and Thomas were married at Lakeway Resort and Spa.

Hair by Jen Hoover.

The right face for warpaint

It took photographer Julian Humphries and I nine months of patience and planning for this look before we found our perfect face in model Danielle Burgess. Well worth the wait if I do say so myself!

Wedding: Kelly & Mike

I truly enjoyed working with Kelly and her family on her wedding... they were all so much fun, just like Kelly! Only a bride who has a great sense of humor can take one of her bridal portraits in a Amy's Ice Cream photo booth... although I'm sure her photographer, Dustin Meyer, had a little something to do with that!

Thanks Kelly, I wish you and Mike a wonderful life together!
