How we met

Well, I've known this beauty her whole life. That's because she's my niece! So when she asked me to do her hair and makeup for her micro wedding here in Houston, I said yes! Well, not at first because I was already booked that day.

Yes, initially, she was getting married in March, so I had that day blocked off on my calendar to do her hair and makeup then. Things changed, and they moved their wedding to a date that I had already booked with clients. Luckily my client was more than understanding and agreed to let Jazmyn have her time spot so she could be at the courthouse on time.

I've watched Jazmyn grow into a beautiful woman, entrepreneur, and now a wife. The years spent with her have been nothing short of fun, good food, and many trips to my salon, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

The Wedding

Jazmyn, like other brides of mine, has had to endure the stresses of planning a wedding during this COVID-19 pandemic, but she was in good spirits the day of her wedding. She was her usual, calm-laid back self, ready for the day to get started so that she could marry her bae.

Hair

Jazmyn wanted a low bun look for her wedding. I have done this style many times and knew it would look stunning on her. She’s got a lot of thick beautiful hair, so I flat ironed all of her hair using one of my favorite flat irons, Croc, with a light hair oil. Edge control and hairspray were used to make everything sleek and shiny. Instead of a bang, we opted to have two curly tendrils to frame her face. Jazmyn also wanted to incorporate one of my new NBG Hair Accessories into her look, so she is wearing “Nicole.”

Makeup

Traditional makeup was applied to Jazmyn’s face. She has combination skin but easily sweats on her face, so I used a cream foundation by Juvia’s place and topped it off with a thin layer of liquid foundation by MAC Cosmetics. A bronzed, smokey look was applied to her eyes, soft pink blush to her cheeks; then, I finished her look with lashes and a nude lip.

What did she say?

Despite this being my aunt, I’m so glad that I chose to have my hair and makeup experience done with her. I felt glamorous, and my hair and makeup stayed on ALL day! 10/10
