I am proud to say that renowned St Louis, MO photographer, Josephine Havlak called one day last summer and wanted to know if I would do her makeup for her own portrait sitting…of course!! And how magnificent is this photo??? Josephine, thank you for your continual confidence & support over the last 15 years. I have learned so much from you, especially about the importance of the correct lipstick for photos! In her wedding blog, Wedding Chatter, Josephine advises that a Bride and her makeup artist need to work together to choose lipstick in “…shades that make your lips stand out from your face without being so loud a color that you notice nothing else about the face. ” In other words, bright without being loud. Best advice, ever.
