YIKES… it’s time for Hayley’s Wedding morning spooky story (& proof that wedding mornings can sometimes not go according to plan) 👻
The morning of Hayley’s wedding, she woke up with an allergic reaction to the glue from her lash extensions she got the day before. Her eyes were almost swollen shut, she was so uncomfortable and of course, she was worried. However, shoutout to Hayley for staying oddly calm and trusting in my expertise 🥰
Here’s why professionals matter: it’s all about adapting while still achieving the desired outcome. Instead of increasing her pencil, we got her some non-drowsy allergy meds and she laid down with an icepack on her eyes for twenty minute intervals until the swelling went down. I was focused on making her feel comfortable and confident 🩷
Looking at these videos, you’d never know what her morning started off like. Honestly, that’s one of the biggest parts of my job, not just creating beautiful Bridal makeup, but staying calm, helping you pivot and coming up with a game plan when you are decision-fatigued out!
