I am pleased to share my story and a comment from the beautiful bride about this special Makeup and Hair Wedding affair. It was red carpet treatment all the way doing makeup and hair in the convenience of the bride’s family home for the rehearsal dinner the evening before as well as her wedding day look at the hotel.
“From the initial make up and hair trial to the wedding day, my experience with Jackie Shawn was unforgettable. While I thought I was only looking for a make up and hair artist, I received so much more! Jackie takes a holistic approach to her work and in addition to offering flawless make up and hair I was able to take advantage of her “face first” healing session a few days before my wedding day. I left the experience with beautiful, glowing skin and a calm mind that lasted until the big day! I am beyond happy with my experience and highly recommend Jackie Shawn’s holistic beauty and healing sessions. She truly draws the connection between face, mind, body and soul!” - Elle Bourgeois
Elle, the beautiful bride-to-be, scheduled a FACE FIRST session at WBLab the day after flying in, a couple days before her wedding in Toronto. The FACE FIRST session recharges body, mind and soul - perfect for releasing stress after a long flight and days of nuptial celebrations while prepping the skin to look and feel its best for the special day. For her session I created a customized cream to calm redness in her skin and keep it regulated until the big day. One of the cream ingredients was Camellia Oil which is anti-inflammatory. It soothes the skin reducing redness and swelling and repeals pollution. Nobody wants a puffy face in their wedding pictures.
For the big day it was Elle’s wish to embody her signature, a flawless natural look. As you can see in the candid picture taken just before the ceremony Elle opted for a stunning barely there makeup and classic chic hair look.
Myself, alongside my assistant, created hair and makeup looks also for the mother-of-the-bride and bridal party. I had a wonderful time meeting Elle’s entire family. Weddings… such a loving time to celebrate.
