wedluxe feature – autumn splendor

We are beyond excited to finally show you some images from this shoot that got featured on the WedLuxe blog. It doesn’t get better that working with some of the best vendors in Edmonton to create some seriously beautiful images. Stef and I were inspired by the colour pallet chosen for the shoot and Stefanie decided to colour our fabulous model Kristina‘s hair a peachy pink and then I kept the same tones running through the makeup. I used the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette on Kristina’s eyes to get the perfect English rose eye look. We can’t wait to do more creative bridal shoots in the future! here are a few more photos of our work on our model Kristina: Vendors involved: PHOTOGRAPHY • NICOLE ASHLEY PHOTOGRAPHY, PRODUCER • JENNIFER BERGMAN WEDDINGS, LOCATION • LOFT 50 STUDIO, STATIONERY •PINKPOLKA INVITATIONS & STATIONERY, FLORAL DESIGN • FABLOOMOSITY, GOWN • MONIQUE LHUILLIER FROM DELICA BRIDAL, RING •DAVID KEELING JEWELRY, HAIR, MAKEUP & MODEL STYLING • BEHIND THE BLUSH, JEWELLERY & ACCESSORIES • HUNT AMOR, CAKE • THE ART OF CAKE, CATERING • EDMONTON PETROLEUM CLUB, ADDITIONAL RENTALS • SPECIAL EVENT RENTALS (CHINA, CHAIRS, GLASSWARE, DRAPERY), DRESS MY DAY (FINE LINENS), 29 ARMSTRONG (FLATWARE)

short hair tutorial: elegant updo

Janna •

Today we are crazy busy with 2 weddings this morning but of course not too busy to bring you our newest summer short hair tutorial of an elegant updo. We wanted to prove that even with short hair it is still possible to achieve an elegant updo perfect for a wedding, prom or any elegant event you are attending. To learn how to do the makeup from this tutorial check out our post from earlier in the week

summer makeup tutorial: elegant event

Janna •

Since we are in the busy point of our wedding season we decided to make this summer makeup tutorial that is suitable for any elegant event you may get invited. This look would be perfect for those times too when you just want to take your makeup up a notch and a red lip is the fastest way to look the fanciest in my opinion. I used the LORAC Pro palette on our model Kristina and finished the look of with the most classic red lip using MAC Russian Red. On Saturday we will be posting the hair tutorial that goes along with this makeup look, see you all then!!

alee cd cover photo shoot

Janna •

Since Big Valley Jamboree is happening this weekend and the lovely Alee is playing the country festival we thought it only fitting to do a #throwbackthursday to the photo shoot for her CD cover with Nicole Ashley. These images are some of my favourites as it had a beautiful floral crown that I crafted and then went into a more sultry edgy look.I gotta tell you it is pretty cool seeing your name on the CD sleeve. Of course it wouldn’t be a shoot with Stef and I if there weren’t some shenanigans (last photo). We loved working with Alee and she is an amazing artist and her crazy long hair and legs don’t hurt either! If you want to see more images Nicole has a blog post showcasing Alee here. *Hair and Makeup: Janna Huget and assisted by Stefanie Carlson *Wardrobe created and styled by Janna Huget *Photography: Nicole Ashley

BtB picks: summer staples

Janna •

Now that it actually feels like summer here in Edmonton with over 25ºC temps I figured now is the perfect time to share some of my go to summer staples. SPF is important all year round and especially in summertime for everyone and even more so for me as I do not tan at all and a mere 10 minutes in the sun can leave me looking like a lobster. After I put on my moisturizer in the morning I have been reaching for the Neutrogena clear face sunscreen in SPF 60. It has not broken my sensitive skin out yet and it has light reflectors the help blur imperfections. On days where I want more of a medium coverage finish on my face I have been using the IT Cosmetics CC cream that is SPF 50. After I finish using my CC cream I have been applying this amazing cheek stain by Tarte called fearless and on my oily skin which usually breaks up blush in under 5 hours it has been lasting over 10 hours. It leaves the most beautiful coral stain on my cheeks. A bonus is that it smells just like fruit loops and it can be used as a lip chap also. You can see me using it in our Boho Bronze makeup tutorial on Kristina. Lips I find are the most forgotten about when it comes to sun protection. I have experienced burnt lips first hand and trust me even though your lips swell up to Angelina Jolie status it is so not worth the pain. So when I am out in the sun I have been using the Ombrelle SPF 30 lip balm. The best part is that it is clear so I can layer any lipstick or gloss over it. Lets face it everyone wants bohemian beachy waves with the least amount of effort in the hot summer heat. I love this Davines ‘This is a Sea Salt Spray‘ as it gives me the right amount of hold when sprayed into my damp hair without getting that 90s crunch. Stef also featured this spray in her pregnancy favourites. Last but not least my two fail safe summer staples are my Ray Ban Wayfarers and of course a floppy hat to ensure the sun doesn’t burn my scalp to a crisp! Let me know what your summer staples are!

BtB picks: best full coverage concealer

Janna •

I am always on the hunt for the “perfect” full coverage concealer and I think that my search is finally over. When I went to LA IMATS with Stef I purchased 2 shades of the OCC skin conceal. OCC is a vegan and cruelty free brand which is amazing and I noticed that it doesn’t make me break out at all. I have very sensitive and breakout prone skin and some concealers (MAC Studio Finish concealer cough cough) make me break out almost instantly. Full coverage concealers are perfect for covering up hyperpigmentation, tattoos, scarring and very red pimples. I purchased 2 colours to that I could create a custom blend depending on if I was tanned.. aka using St. Tropez.. or my regular pale self. The 2 colours I have are YO and R1. The best part about these concealers are that they are super pigmented and you need only the tiniest amount of product. I have tried them under my eyes but found them to be a tad too thick for my personal taste and have stuck to using them just on my blemishes. *from my knowledge in Edmonton you can’t purchase the concealers in-store but OCC does ship to Canada or you can purchase them through Sephora online. Temptalia did a great post with swatches of all the shades to make it easier to figure out which one or two to order

summer makeup tutorial: boho bronze

Janna •

Today we bring you another summer makeup tutorial that is super easy to recreate for a summer BBQ, a music festival or a summer wedding as modeled by Kristina. I used the LORAC Pro Palette to create the eye look which has the best selection of half matte and half frost shadows to create any look. I love palettes like the LORAC Pro since it gives you a really large range of colors that is cheaper than buying individual shadows
