Wedding Pro's Luncheon in Morrisville

I love to network and meet others who show simliar interest. In case you didn't know this about me, I find many interests and pursue them. Of course, more than 17 years ago that interest was Hair Design, so I always network for that. However, over the years I've been involved in Photography, window treatments, upholstery, sewing, painting, faux painting, Rotary Club and Toastmasters International to enhance my public speaking skills.
Although I've done Wedding Hair for many, many years, I am just recently marketing and advertising on the web for WEdding Hair and Make up in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary area.  So, it would only make sense to then get involved with Wedding Professionals to Network as well. https://www.facebook.com/pam.perry3#!/PerfectWeddingGuideNC

Off to my luncheon!

Fashion Make Up and Hair Cary

Doing beauty makeup is so much fun. Taking a gal who is going to a special affair, be it prom, wedding or gala, and transformer her into a "Belle" is so exciting and gratifying.  But doing fashion make up and hair is exceptionally gratifying. Why? Because quite frankly you just don't get to do it every time.  Recently I got to cover over the models eyebrows  and add blue polka dot eyelashes to that area.  Not only that, the hairstyle was fabulous. I curled the hair with a 1/4" curling iron, teased and add "padding" to help the hairstyle form.  What a wonderful time working on this look. I sure do hope another "fashion hair and makeup" look comes along soon. check out more pix at http://www.pamperryhair.com/

Wedding Hair and Make up Raleigh

Yowzers!! 2 new bridal shoots under my belt.  The first gal wanted a side swept bun she found in a magazine. Lovely!!  Her hair was nearly the perfect length but it had layers. That generally means there will be loose hairs in the bun that need to be smoothed down. There is a great trick: Invisible hair nets!!  If you ever danced or had a little dancer in your family you know what those hair nets can do for the ease of making a bun. Besides making buns, they are great for looping hair around and making designs for super hair do's!!

Asymmetrical Wedding Updo

Airbrush makeup with lashes

The make up was airbrushed on and she loved, loved, loved the coverage. This gal loves "full coverage" foundation application and was quite please with how well it looked. After applying foundation, I applied the blush and we moved on to the eyes! Her choice? Smokey!!  We used great pinks, light and dark bronzes and even used a teensy bit of black for the outer corner. After applying individual eyelashes, we moved on to the mascara. But let me share with you that this gal was quite pleased with the lashes and how well they go on and quickly I applied them. Most gals have had strip lashes put on, but I personally avoid them at all costs for many reasons but especially for poor adhesion. Maybe it's just me but I don't' have great luck. Besides, I can put on as many or as few lashes as I want.  And I love this!!
The other bridal look was more on the vintage side.  The make up application was lovely with this gal choosing a greenish blend for her eye make up. Her blue eyes really stood out.  We finished up the look with eyelashes and a soft pearl like shell colored lipstick with a pearly gloss on top.

Lovely!

Corn Row braiding

Years ago, in beauty school, we learned how to corn row hair among many other things. But honestly, corn rowing hair has never been asked of me, so I never honed that skill. Welll, with a some encouragement from a friend, I am learning so that I can sew in hair tracks for upcoming projects I am working on but also in case I need to sew in hair for a client.
It's been a whole day of practicing and it's been tough. My fingers are not used to that small movement with fine detail. I'm going to keep practicing the actual cornrow braid. Once I get comfortable enough and fast enough, I'm going to start corn row braiding with adding loose extension hair. That will help soft fine hair be a little coarser to hold the braid longer.  After I learn to corn row well enough to put in rows for sewing in hair, that's the next thing I will learn and practice. Once corn rows are in, I'll sew the tracks in.
It's a fun project and I'm glad I was encouraged to learn.

Wedding Hair and Airbrush Make up Raleigh

Today's shoot was awesome!! What made it awesome?  First of all, the weather was amazing so we shot outdoors. Was an easy, 1 light set up while the model held a reflector board. Secondly, a natural makeup look came out amazing with Airbrush application on the skin. It looks flawless and doll like; as if no make up is on at all.  The coverage is amazing. Since I use silicone based make up with the airbrush machine, it lasts through sweat, tears and the accidental spilled champagne toast! Thirdly, I showed off what using hair pieces in a shorter haired gal can do to give her a super duper updo!!   Not every gal has enough hair or long enough hair to pull off an updo or half up-half down style.  The only thing to do is get good quality human hair to add to the style!!

Wedding Hair and Make Up Raleigh

fishtail braid bun

Since I am a hobby photographer, I like to post new photos as often as I can. So that  means I find reliable and appropriately aged models to showcase whatever ideas I have. This week after poking around on you tube, I found an sensational Hairstylist from Austrailia named: Sharon Blain. I love her ideas, her style, her creativity, so I set out to learn and do a few ideas on my mannequin first.  Since I already had a photoshoot set up for this saturday, I asked my lovely model Kristen if she would be up for doing 3 looks. She agreed and away we went with the ideas. After all the chatting, viewing the website with Sharon's work, and working out our ideas, we went to town.

a look from a bridal magazine

Incidentally, our third look was a gorgeous redhead from the bridal  hairdo magazine I have at the salon.
We got started at 1 and finished up the 3rd look by approximately 5pm. It was fun, quite a bit of work but worth it.  I attached 1 photo here but you can see more on my site.http://www.pamperryhair.com/
