What do you get when you combine The Wedding Yentas, one of the most successful mark. mentors in the country, and a Southern California wedding photographer?
You get a 2-part series that showcases the ways mark. can help you look the part for all your wedding-related characters: the bridal shower girl, the bachelorette party girl, and the honeymoon girl. On your wedding day, you will look fabulous, no doubt! But unless you have your own personal entourage on retainer, you’ll need to have a convenient, affordable, and fabulous beauty arsenal to help you look your best during all of your bridal events! The Wedding Yentas partnered up with Jennifer Cariker, a leading Mentor from mark. who worked with three fabulous models to artistically apply makeup and educate Yentas readers about how to get the look you want for all your special days!
When it comes to your bridal shower, you want to make sure you are fresh-faced and clean. You don’t need a heavy hand to apply your bridal shower makeup so natural shades that complement your outfit and skin tones should be part of your bridal shower product palette.
On model Kaelia, Jennifer applied an eye shadow duo called Making Eyes in the shade Cocoa. Kaelia’s blue eyes soak up coppers beautifully, so Jennifer’s tip is to use opposite shades from the facial coloring. Eye makeup for a bridal shower does not need to be dramatic, so Jenny chose shades that were natural and soft, but still reflected color from Kaelia’s bright blue eyes. Hazel and brown-eyed girls look great in plum and navy shades! Yes, navy! Don’t be afraid to try it — it’s gorgeous, says Jennifer.
A blending brush worked darker color into Kaelia’s crease and lighter colors into the corners of her eyes and brow bone. She also used a blush called Good Glowing in Cameo Glo. Lips are shellacked in Gloss Gorgeous which is a stay-on lip stain in the color Pop.
Before a girl gets married, she is a bachelorette. And as most brides know, a party for the bachelorette is one of the most fun nights out a girl can have! This is the time to do it up big! Whether you’re going to dance at a club or sip grapes in Wine Country, a festive look makes sense as you celebrate your final days as a bride-to-be!
On Bachelorette Brandy, Jennifer used a variety of shades from the Super Flip Color Kit. Good news: the Super Flip Color Kit features 9 eye shadows and 9 lip colors and it’s currently on sale! Jennifer also applied Just Pinched Blush in Peachy to give Brandy’s cheeks a burst of color. This petite twist-up blush comes in five shades and glides on smoothly, blending easily to provide a sheer wash of natural-looking color. Just Pinched melts onto your skin for a luxurious application and right into your natural pigmentation for a whole day’s worth of cheeky freshness and spunk. Jennifer added some drama to Brandy’s eyes with No Place To Run eyeliner, a gel-based, long-lasting eyeliner in the shade Jet Set, a defined black.
After the hoopla of the wedding day, it’s time to relax or go on an adventure. No matter the type of honeymoon you choose, you’ll need to make sure you pack the essentials without weighing down your baggage. As a seasonal special, mark. is showcasing the look of Ibiza, Spain. Products are inspired by this Spanish island off the Mediterranean and now we are all itching to hop on an avion and have an adventura!
One of Jennifer’s favorite mark. products, Glowdacious, worked great with model Danielle’s skin tone! Glowdacious is an illuminating bronzer and here, Jennifer is applying the shade Shimmied Up. Do you know how to properly apply bronzer? Here’s a tip from our expert: Apply your bronzer on your face in the shape of a 3 starting at your forehead, going to your cheekbone, and ending at your jawbone. This trick contours your face while also blending the bronzer so it highlights your face smoothly. Jennifer also used Ibiza Sol Marbleized Eye Shadow Stick in Aqua Deep. This was applied from the lash line to the crease of Danielle’s eyes. Danielle puckered up for the Ibiza Sol Marbleized Lip Gloss in Chica Coral for a high-shine, nude look.
