Marianne & Chapie // Stellenbosch South Africa

My dear friend Mare has featured quite a bit in my make-up work before, as you’ve probably noticed. This was her real wedding and I’m thrilled to have been there and to have done the makeup for the bride and the bridesmaids, all close friends.

Chappie and Marianne got married on 13 October 2012 at Nooitgedacht Estate in Stellenbosch. It was THE perfect day. This wedding, this day and these people are so close to me. One special day with its memoirs, engraved in my heart forever.

27.05.12 - Julia & Andreas

It was such a pleasure being involved in this wedding! Julia looked flawless on her special day. I got the focus on her lovely eyes by playing with plums and purples that work so well with her blue eyes. The slight rosy cheek and soft pink lips was the last touch to finish the look. She looked so gorgeous and timeless. I also enjoyed giving each member of the bridal party a unique look to suit their bubbly personalities. Oh what fun!

Bridal party

While on holiday in South Africa, I was so happy to do the make-up of the bridal party at the wedding of one of my dear friends. The setting for this wedding was a stunning farm in the Free State near a tiny town called Vrede. I had so much fun and joy working with these lovely ladies. They all looked so confident and stunning.

I played up her eyes by doing a softer version of a “smokey-eye” using more natural shades of brown, gold and a hint of purple. With the emphasis on her striking eyes I only used a subtle pink-tone for her lips one shade darker than her natural colour. Topped with matching lip-gloss and this look came together wonderfully.
