04 — EMILY LYNN & CO.Wedding Weekends Are Having a Moment. Here's How to Plan Your Getting Ready Looks.Wedding weekends often happen in destinations. Think Cabo, Carmel, Sedona, a family property in Montecito. And destinations mean variables. That Malibu cliffside rehearsal dinner has ocean breeze. The poolside brunch has direct sun. The evening reception is air-conditioned inside. Each of these affects how makeup holds, how hair behaves, and what looks will actually work across the full experience. We also think about the vibe shift. A welcome event is usually more casual. Softer looks, more approachable. The rehearsal might be slightly more polished. The ceremony is the moment. And some couples do a farewell brunch the next day where the vibe can be fun and relaxed again. Each one deserves its own energy, and we love working backward from that.

101 — LOS ANGELESThe In-Depth Look at Airbrush Makeup From a Professional Makeup Artist. What is Airbrush?As makeup artists, we all have our own unique taste, experience, technique, eye for things. Two of us could use the exact same concealer and one of us hate it. You know why? Because we have different processes when it comes to applying, using a brush vs. a sponge, the skin prep beforehand, the amount of powder - a number of factors that all make up the end result. Two artists could receive the same inspiration photo, and achieve the same end result, but by completely different means.
