Hera Beauty… Sparkle, Curl, Wink!

Every now and then we are presented with a unique challenge where we have the opportunity to try something new and exciting… in this case, a Hindu wedding ceremony with both American and Indian influences.

For this ceremony, the color gold was of significance to the bride and her family, so Kat made sure that the color was highly showcased in the makeup pallete and reflected on her skin.  Placing and setting the bridal bindis was a new and very cool experience!

Leena wanted to have a softer, romantic, yet classic look for her hair, and thus, Whitney created a loosely waved bun that worked well with the veil and dress.  Rachel completed the bridal party with styles of their choosing.
