Makeup - Airbrush foundation and Photography

When deciding on whether to hire a makeup artist to do my wedding day makeup or not, I chose to go the DIY route and acquired an airbrush machine instead.  My makeup skills came mainly from experience and watching a lot of youtube gurus.  I was quite comfortable in doing my own makeup and especially since I'm asian, I'm not so fond of  allowing anyone who doesn't specialize in asian makeup to put my face on for such an important day -- I'm also the same way with my hair, no pun intended.

Naturally, doing makeup became another hobby of mine.  I had a chance to play 'makeup artist' for a family's wedding last year and I just wanted to show you some of the before and after photos trial run that I captured.  (I had to plead a great case in order to show these photos online :) Thanks ladies!)

I forgot to take the photo before I did her foundation and eyebrows.  The before photo (left) show the airbrush foundation in natural light.  The after photo (right) shows the finishing look with the built-in flash.

Master Bedroom - Neutral Palette Inspiration

We have an official closing date on the house! With a little over a month left before closing, seeing the house in it's final stages of development get's me really excited.  I mentioned before that I was quite nervous about my color palette for the new house.  I love me some color splash but not so certain about painting a brand new house.  As with all of my design adventures, I started a mood board (is that what they call it?) for my Master Bedroom.  I wasn't kidding when I said I was sticking to neutral tones!
