My in-laws in Michigan threw me the cutest little impromptu mehndi ❤️

I found out about this literally a few hours before it started, so I was veryyy unprepared but my aunts-in-law got to dress me up and it ended up being so coordinated and cute!!

This elegant half up with all the volume and dimension 😍 She had the thickest hair ever but it was so fun creating this.

Texture and dimension are not only for blonde or highlighted hair. I love applying specific techniques and products to help build that dimension on gorgeous dark hair. Obsesseddd to say the least

Hair post!! ✨ Clean texture on dark hair is my favorite 😍

Ditch the crunchy hair and stiff hairspray 🚫

Opt for something clean and breathable! Ask for soft volume if this is your vibe, it's perfect for dimension and definitely the trend this season! 💓

I'm lovingggg these big Hollywood curls 😍

The difference between Hollywood curls and waves is in the curl pattern. Waves 🌊 have a more smooth, side-to-side look, while curls are more springy and bouncy!

Now you know what to ask for at your next appointment!

Erin's engagement shoot makeup 😍

I loved her vision for this look. She wanted something that would, of course, photograph well for her photoshoot that day.

We wanted to give her ✨glam✨ but with a soft twist and this is what we came up with! She loved it!! 🤍

With the use of carefully placed shadows and shimmers, I was able to accentuate and bring out her gorgeous features.

Makeup is really an art and learning about using colors, tones and shapes to customize each person's look is so fulfilling ☺️

The sweetest model ever, Alivia 🤍

She and I are both so used to doing more wearable glam, or beauty shoots. But for this shoot, she knew she wanted something a little more edgy and editorial. She showed me an inspo picture and we tweaked and personalized it to her!

This is what we came up with in the end and can I just say.. green is SO gorgeous on her!! 😍
