MONDAY'S MAKEUP TIP - INTRODUCING ELKE

I am beyond thrilled to introduce you to one of my favorite people, Elke Von Freudenberg. She has been in the beauty industry for over 20 years and has done brows and makeup for top celebrities and models in New York and California.

She has been reshaping my brows for the past year, and I couldn't be more grateful. Her shop in New York City specializes in fixing brows that are uneven or badly designed, which is exactly what my over-waxed brows desperately needed. She is considered one of the best eyebrow specialists in New York, and I couldn't agree more. Not only is she a true talent, but she's also the sweetest person you will ever meet. Ever.

I highly recommend Elke to any and all brides-to-be who want to look flawless on their wedding day - leave your brows and your makeup to Elke and you will not be disappointed.

Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of Elke's best wedding makeup tips, whether you're hiring a professional, or if you've decided to tackle it alone, so be sure to check back next Monday for her first tip.

In the meantime, here's a little inspiration from the woman herself: 
I spent years doing wedding makeup early on in my career when I worked as a makeup artist in the beauty salon. I also did photo shoots and advertising on the side for top magazines, and I realized that the best wedding makeup was actually the same makeup tips and tricks that I used on top models for their photo shoot. The dynamics are the same, whether it be a wedding, or a top photo shoot. Pictures are being taken. It must stay on all day. The model/bride wants to look beautiful, yet real.

I couldn't have said it better myself!
