MEET MAKEUP ARTIST LAUREN NAPIER

I enjoy having my makeup done by the professionals and it’s always a plus to get the ‘expert tips’….so, I thought it would be fun to have a true expert stop by and share a few ‘expert tips’ with us……I’m so excited to introduce the beautiful and oh-so-talented makeup artist Lauren Napier of Lauren Napier Weddings! 

I adore Lauren….she is such a sweetheart and I love how she truly ‘enhances’ the beauty that is already there….Lauren says that her goal for every client is to ‘Never lose the woman beneath the makeup‘…I love that!  Now this is Lauren’s first visit at the cafe so let’s show her some cafe love….let’s begin with a little info on Lauren….Enjoy!

Lauren burst onto the makeup scene working alongside world famous photographers, production companies, television series, national ad campaigns and exclusive celebrity events.  Her work has been seen on E!, Bravo, Disney, Travel Channel, NBC Universal and the Wedding Channel.  Her work has graced the pages of Vanity Fair, British Vogue, Glamour, Essence, Nylon, More Magazine and the Knot.

Lauren continues to expand her cosmetic expertise to meet the needs of sophisticated brides everywhere. Lauren has a mesmerizing ability to tailor glamorous looks for every woman.  Her knowledge of skin tones, bridal styles and environmental conditions are what seals her client’s confidence.

Lauren shares a few ‘beauty tips’ with us…..’Spring is here!  As we start spring-cleaning rituals, swappnig scarves and gloves for oversized sunglasses and sandales, savvy ladies everywhere begin to hone in on the newest spring beauty trends – especially if you are getting married this year!

My tips to obtain flawless skin on your big day are….(1) Start out by eliminating the caffeine and drink water by the gallon!  (2)  Exfoliate dull skin away with the 3Lab Perfect Scrub, then pair with the Super H Serum that moisturizes without creating shine.  (3)  Moisturize with 3Lab’s WW Cream, this is a remarkable product.  The WW Cream aids in brightening sallow, winter skin!’

I asked Lauren what are her ‘must have’ products…..and they are the following three listed below…..

3Lab’s Perfect Mask!

(also one of Oprah’s favorites)!

Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara!

Lipstick Queen’s Oxymoron Matte Lip Glosses!

I also asked Lauren….’What is your favorite look for a bride?’

Lauren….’My favorite bridal look is a look that all women can achieve.  My favorite look starts with healthy, radiant skin!’
