Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

One of my favorite recent projects was working with a bride who wanted a timeless, soft glam look for her wedding day. She wanted something elegant and natural but still radiant for her photos. The process started with a bridal trial, where we tested different makeup looks and ensured the products worked well with her skin type. On the wedding day, I provided both makeup and light hairstyling for the bride and two of her bridesmaids. The entire session took about 4-5 hours, ensuring every detail was flawless. What made this project special was the bride’s emotional reaction—she was glowing with happiness and said she had never felt more beautiful. Her confidence shined throughout the day, and she later shared stunning photos where the makeup held up beautifully for hours. Moments like these remind me why I love what I do! 💕
