St. John Bride,Leytisha, gets a glowing recommendation

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.
Leytisha requested an overall glow to her makeup while keeping it natural and light. We suggested focusing on her high cheekbones, full lips and smooth complexion. 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.

Sweet bride Victoria's wedding day makeover at Marriott Cove, St. Thomas

Victoria was bubbly and excited from the time we arrived. She requested a full updo of curls with a few tendrils left un-pinned. We added ivory orchids for that dreamy beach look. Victoria reuqested warm tones for her makeup session that brought out her green eyes and great cheekbones.
Her sister, also maid of honor, requested a bohemian hairstyle with a cross braid in the front and a tie knot bun that was placed off to the side. Her makeup session also used warm colors with a bit of bronze thrown in to compliment her olive skin tone.






Sugar and Spice Artistry and Bride Alexandria at Caneel Bay Resort, St. John

A bride after my own heart-
Alex had a unique knack for wording her e-mails that made me know we would get along instantly. Feisty, independant and so funny, our appointment was non stop chatter and laughs.
Alex decided on an intricate side bun with a romantic side sweep in the front. We added colorful orchids that popped in her dark hair.
Sugar and Spice provided an airbrush makeup session for Alex which looked flawless. We used tones of gray, plum and pale gold to bring out Alex's eyes complete with lash extensions.

Sugar and Spice Artistry loved Russian Bride Lily from the moment we met. Shy, sweet and so beautiful; we knew our appointment was going to be fun!
Sugar and Spice Artistry provided beauty services for Lily and her bridal party.
Lily requested a half up/half down 'do with lots of volume at the crown and her short bangs swept to the side.
Lily decided on a glamorous makeup look played up with gold and plum tones complete with lash extensions.
Her Bridemaid wanted an overall rosy hue to compliment the sunset ceremony complete with an intricate side bun.

Sugar and Spice Artistry and Canadian Queen Martine at St. Thomas Marriott Resort!

Sugar and Spice Artistry worked with Martine, a beautiful bride all the way from our northern neighbor Canada.
She requested an elegant sideswept look that complimented her face shape and personal style. We opted for a chic side pin-up with cascading curls. We added a few orchids for that beachy touch.
Martine wanted to keep her makeup natural but focus on her high cheekbones and beautiful light eyes. We opted for shimmery colors that played up her fair skin and rose colored blush on the apples of her cheeks and a light glossy lip to match.
