Raven Reed - Luxury Bridal Beauty

Kathryn, my gorgeous and glowy bride from today! We knew we were right for each other after bonding over the importance of proper skincare over our consultation call. (And the fact that we are both Virgos! 👀♍️)

But seriously, getting your skincare routine A1 before your wedding day absolutely makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the appearance and longevity of your makeup on your wedding day. That is one of the main ways we achieve that signature glow that my brides really strive for. We can consult about your skin and get things in top top shape before your wedding day! Also, check out Anji from my previous post as well. She was 100% on top of her skincare, and you can see how much it paid off. I dare you to zoom in and see for yourself! 😉

I may be the odd one out, but I really love when brides let me do what I do (and let me enhance their beauty without copying someone else’s work). What I mean by that is NO INSPO PICS. Or if there ARE a few, we just catch a vibe and follow them loosely to create a customized look for my brides. A thorough consultation means more to me than the same repurposed Pinterest photos. I feel looking beyond the inspo pics allows YOU to shine more than the makeup itself. We like to strive for the “Wow, you look so beautiful today!” instead of “Wow, your makeup looks so beautiful today!” You feel me? ✨

So excited to serve Anji tomorrow morning. A naturally gorgeous woman who put her trust in me to bring out the best in her. I can’t wait! 😍

Exquisite skin for . Don’t you just love a good glassy, dewy glow?

Hint: The key is in the skin prep just as much as the actual makeup products! 🤫

I absolutely love this angled bun created for Emma’s wedding look! How about you?

It adds a beautiful touch of elegance and timeless style to your wedding day.

With all of the postponement’s this year, I have been really missing creating gorgeous styles like this! So happy I got to create this weekend with the lovely .bikini. I cannot wait to create more magic with my amazing brides next year! ✨

Today I finally got to meet the cutest and sweetest bride of all time! She hired me over a year ago for her October, 2020 wedding. Although COVID did throw a bit of a wrench into the original plans, it did not stop her from marrying the love of her life today. It was a blessing to have the pleasure of serving her on her very special day. Emma, you are such a kind soul and loved by many. Thank you so much for hiring me as your hair & makeup artist. Congratulations lovely! I cannot wait to work with you again for your reception next year!!! .bikini

“Raven, PLEASE shave like 10 years off of me!”

Step mama requested to elevate her natural look and wanted to appear more youthful for her daughters wedding.

Skin prep was essential to create this look so I made sure to use the line to plump and smooth.

So excited about the results! What do you think?

“Raven, PLEASE shave about 10 years off of me!!!”

Ask and you shall receive 🧚🏽‍♀️✨
