Mercan’s wedding in HillCrest
As a hair and makeup artist, each wedding I’m a part of is unique, but Mercan’s wedding day truly stands out. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was filled with both excitement and a sense of calm, and I knew it was going to be a day overflowing with love.
One of the highlights of the morning was the conversations we had while I worked on Mercan’s hair and makeup. We chatted about the details of the day, and I could feel her joy and peacefulness. She told me, "Your presence was absolutely calming, and we had good conversations. I felt understood in what I wanted for the wedding day for hair and makeup." Hearing this was such a rewarding moment because my goal is always to help my brides feel relaxed and truly understood as they prepare for their special day.
Mercan had a beautiful vision for how she wanted to look—natural, elegant, and radiant. Together, we crafted a look that enhanced her natural beauty and reflected her inner glow. When she was ready, she was excited to see her soon-to-be husband for the first time that day. Later, she shared with me, "My favorite moment of the day was seeing my soon-to-be husband for the first time after getting ready." It’s moments like these that make all the preparation so worthwhile.
Her hair was styled in an elegant, low updo with soft, romantic waves framing her face. The loose tendrils add a natural, effortless touch to the sophisticated style, complementing the clean lines of her gown. This classic updo keeps the focus on her face while highlighting her gown’s neckline and her graceful posture. For makeup, Mercan had a beautifully natural and fresh appearance. Her skin was glowing, with a subtle dewiness that brought out her natural complexion. Her eyes were softly defined, with neutral tones and a hint of liner, creating a gentle but captivating look. Her lashes were enhanced to give a fluttery, romantic effect, adding depth to her eyes without overwhelming her natural beauty. The soft nude-pink lipstick complements her glowing skin, pulling the entire look together with an understated elegance.
As her family gathered around her that morning, you could feel the love and support in the room. Mercan shared how important it was to have them there, saying, "Having my family around and knowing that I am going to marry the person I fully trust and who makes me happy helped a lot." Being part of these intimate moments, where love and anticipation fill the air, is what makes my job so fulfilling.
