Elegant Bride,Tracy, at Great Expectations Villa, St. John USVI

Bride, Tracy, was so sweet and easy going!
Sugar and Spice travelled to St. John  at the Great Expectations villa to pamper and beautify Tracy and her sister/ maid of honor !
Tracy decided on a soft curly updo that incorporated soft waves being tousled back into an intricate up sweep complete with orchid floral hair accents which looked lovely in Tracy's beautiful brunnete hair.
She also requested a very soft and natural makeup session that brought out her best feautures while adding a bit of "ooh la la" to the overall look.
Tracy's maid of honor went for a low updo with orchid accents with volume at the crown and a side bang in the front. Her makeup session included a bit more dramatic look with smokey eyes and soft cheeks and lips.

From Poland with Love!

"From Poland with Love"
@ Silk Cotton Villa on St. Thomas, USVI

Polish Bride Ania was such a treat to work with!! We sat down for her first beauty service; a manicure and found out we have so much in common!
She was the sweetest, most genuine person and Sugar and Spice wishes her and her new husband nothing but the best the world has to offer!!
Ania requested a half up-half down hairstyle with a bit of volume at the crown. We added a sparkly headband to complete the look.
For her makeup we used the airbrush method which lasts for hours and suited Ania's beach wedding perfectly. Ania requested smokey eyes and a nude natural look to the rest of her face. We used heather gray, bronze and shimmery silver accents to bring out her light eye color and fun loving personality. To complete the look, we used individual eyelash extensions that made her eyes "Pop" and a rose pink lip stain for her pretty pucker.

Sugar and Spice Artistry is always thrilled to work with local Brides and gladly booked Leytisha's wedding makeup at the Westin Resort in St. John.

We created a creamy smooth base for her foundation ( we had an amazing platte to work with from the start) and played up the eyes with hues of plum and gold complete with lash extensions and a shimmery gloss.
