About Modern Glam: Receptions & Cocktails
Evening lighting requires a completely different approach to makeup than a daytime ceremony. I prioritize a high-shine, photographic finish that catches the light without appearing oily. Whether you are leaning towards a dramatic cut-crease or a soft, glowing base, I use specific hydrating primers and long-wear setting techniques to ensure your look stays crisp through the dancing and photography.
While traditional wedding makeup focuses on heritage, your reception or cocktail party is the time for modern glamour. My approach to these events is about creating a sophisticated, high-fashion look that complements your outfit rather than overpowering it.
My Approach to Evening Glam
For receptions, I work closely with you to finalize a look that balances your personality with the vibe of the event. If you are wearing a gown or a heavy cocktail lehenga, we often pivot to bolder choices. Think winged eyeliner, deeper lip shades, and high-shine skin that looks radiant in low-light banquet halls. I utilize high-end, long-wear products specifically selected to endure the heat of the stage lights and long hours of socializing.
Hair and Styling
A huge part of the 'modern glam' look is the hair. I specialize in styles that are often too complex for traditional bridal events, including:
- Sleek, wet-look ponytails for a sharp, edgy aesthetic.
- Hollywood waves for that classic, red-carpet appeal.
- Structured, chic updos that keep you comfortable while looking polished.
I also provide assistance with outfit styling, ensuring that accessories like statement earrings or necklaces are placed perfectly to match your hairstyle and neckline. If you have a specific style in mind that you have saved from social media, share it with me before the event so we can tailor the technique to your face shape. My goal is to make sure you step into your reception feeling confident and, most importantly, like the best version of yourself.
