Sweet 16 Makeup Look Inspiration: Natural Soft Glam for a Birthday Princess

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of doing makeup for a beautiful Sweet 16 birthday celebration! For many families in the USA, turning 16 is a huge milestone.
My lovely teen client was celebrating her very first time having her makeup professionally done. Since she didn’t normally wear much makeup, she felt a bit nervous at first. To make her comfortable, we scheduled a trial session one month before the party, where we planned out her look and made sure everything felt natural and to her style.

My First On-Location Bridal Makeup in Sedona: Lessons, Laughs and a Beautiful Japanese Bride

Bridal makeup in Sedona will always hold a special place in my heart – because that’s where my very first on-location wedding began. Back in 2011, long before I had a decade of bridal beauty experience under my belt, I packed my kit, drove from Phoenix to Sedona, and met my bride, Keiko, for the very first time on her wedding morning.

She had traveled all the way from Japan for a spiritual Sedona ceremony that blended Native American traditions with her own. I had no trial, no professional lighting, and certainly no makeup chair – just a passion for making women feel confident and beautiful on their most important day. That morning shaped the way I serve my brides today, and it’s why I am so passionate about bringing the complete on-location bridal makeup experience to weddings across Arizona.
