Frania's Bridal Makeup: On Beauty, Family, and Being Skinny

Frania's Bridal Makeup: On Beauty, Family, and Being Skinny

Photos, except for "before" and "prepping": IHeartMyGroom

 

I had the paramount pleasure and exciting esteem of being Frania's wedding day makeup artist. Not only were the raw materials majestic (her naturally gorgeous face and goddess-like figure) but she is a MomInMascara VIP. She is very special to me; I've known her for 25 years, since she was age 2.

As her groom said during his speech, her beauty is on the inside too. I told her at the reception that what amazes me about her is her unflinching grace, unbending heart, and undoubtable sensibility.

And how skinny she was! Frania, whatever you did worked. You were a total fox in that gown! A fit, fit, skinny fox.

Onto the makeup. Here is a before and after.

 

My heart is full of love.

 

And a few more of the day. Notice how pretty Frania is beforehand, how much her smile glows afterwards, and - in the background of last two pics - how much I cannot contain myself about the joy of this day... (!)

Also notice... how amazingly skinny this bride is! Go FRANIA!!

That we've known each other our whole lives makes us family; what sealed it indefintiely was being "backstage" together on this momentous day. My heart is full of love.

Excuse me while I eat celery now. I'm trying to get as skinny as Bridey.

 

Xx, Mom in Mascara
