I am so behind with my blog but I want to feature some of the GORGEOUSNESS – - so without further adieu -

This is Kristina. She was such a lovely and gracious bride. I loved her deep purple tones and those eyes…. Well, I could go on for days. She was amazing! Photograph courtesy of www.weddingsbyheather.com

Oh, Emily. She was a very Gatsby-esque bride with all the drama and glitz of the days gone by. Dripping in beauty. Photo courtesy of www.leannmariephotography.com

This is Keli. She was a favorite of mine, too. She loves the GLAM factor and had no issue with me turning up the volume on her smokey eyes.
So sexy and flawless!! Photo courtesy of www.leannmariephotography.com

This is Leena. So sultry and classic at once. I am asked to duplicate her makeup “look” often, so I wanted to share some additional pictures courtesy of www.weddingsbyheather.com

Dreamy Ali was such a stunning bride, too. Her serene, Grace Kelly-like beauty just eminated from her. Photos courtesy of the amazing www.weddingsbyheather.com

I have also featured a couple of pictures of the bridal parties.
Notice how the makeup complements the look of the wedding without drawing attention to one particular person except THE BRIDE! (of course!!)

This is intentional and is one of the reasons I highly recommend having your bridal party’s makeup done professionally.

There is continuity and symmetry. No glaringly obvious makeup faux pas. Your wedding day is not the day for surprises or one of your girls to stick out like a sore thumb.

Now might be a good time to mention Kiss and Makeup Gift cards!!

Rachel was old Hollywood glamour ala young Elizabeth Taylor. Her veil, her hair, her sumptuous skin, those intensely beautiful eyes. I reveled in it all.

This is Rebecca. I thought she looked alot like a Kardashian. I also loved Keara’s peacock feather details and colors.


That’s Heather, the bride’s sister. That silky skin runs in the family. Check out this next shot of the daughters and mom. Gorgeous!!

Pretty much in love with everything Keara. She was so easy and fresh, she loved her makeup and just smiled and said ” I trust you. Do what you want”

Can you imagine having a job where you joyously share in a wedding day and help to create this kind of beauty?

Ahhh. I love my job.

Please dial 412-610-0512 or click the contact button above to purchase a gift card. Thank you!!

It is an exciting time at Kiss and Makeup!!

When I launched my business 8 years ago, it was a leap of faith.  It was built on the foundation of  a love for makeup artistry and reverence for a woman’s unique beauty.

Hard work, determination and staying the course even in the lean times has paid off.  I have more business than I can handle and it is time to expand!!!

I am so pleased to announce that I am looking to add to the artistry staff!

If you would like to become an artist with  Kiss and Makeup I would love to hear from you.

I am looking for extraordinary candidates with makeup artistry experience, a love for people and a willingness to make amazing things happen!

If you are that person – send me your resume and a brief intro.  If you know that person – spread the word!

Please send all inquries to Lisa@Kiss-and-Makeup.com

I can’t wait to see where this next phase of growth takes us!

“Making the world a prettier place, one face at a time. ”

It has been an amazing journey that started with a tiny site built by me in the middle of the night with “before and after” pictures from my little digital camera.

The process of building a business, establishing my clientele and my body of work in a competitive market has not been without it’s challenges. Finally carving out a place for myself to be viable and creative all at once has been a marvelous and rewarding trek.

Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting and joining forces with some extraordinarily talented people.

Most notably, Heather and Craig Lahtinen of Weddings By Heather. I was mesmerized by her work and inspired by her passion and business acumen. Together, I think there is nothing those two can’t accomplish.

This website was a vision in our heads for a long time. Seeing it go live and come to fruition is a dream for me. Heather and Craig listened, analyzed and designed this phenomenal platform.

I am speechless at the result. Thank you just isn’t enough to begin to tell them how much I appreciate what they’ve done for me.

I want to thank all of the gorgeous women that allowed me to post their images. It is their inner beauty and the discovery of such that drives me to be better at my craft.

I want to thank Corrie Miller of Sweet Cheek Designs for the brilliant design that is my logo. Her intuitive style and ability to translate my vision was astonishing.

I look forward to seeing where this journey continues. But one thing I know for sure, is that it wouldn’t be the same without all those that I love and that love me.

Enter Heather.

They’re a big deal to her, too.

So, obviously I was so DELIGHTED to be a part of this angel’s birthday.

The dress, the hair, that skin, those eyes.  Together – an absolute symphony of GORGEOUSNESS!

Her husband whisked her away for an intimate romantic dinner after this impromptu photoshoot.

Ahhh.

Love it.
