Had the one of the most rewarding makeup lesson experiences with this bride to be this weekend! She wanted to learn how to do her own bridal makeup for her upcoming wedding so we went over proper techniques, tried new products, and ensured she was comfortable with recreating this look on her big day! 💍

Can you even tell who did either side of her face? 🤭

Bronzy soft glam for her maternity shoot! ✨💗🍼👶🏼

Whatever occasion you have, get glammed to look and feel your best 🖤 inquire on my website makeupbygianna.com (🔗 in bio)

Let’s kick off 2025 with some natural glowy makeup ✨😍

Get your skin in tip top shape with a great skin care routine and help from an Esthetician for all your upcoming weddings & events ✨

Here are some tips to get your skin care routine started:
• always remove makeup before bed 🫧
• wear your SPF (even in the winter months)☀️
• get a professional facial & dermaplaning!
(Removing dead skin and hair from the face = a
smoother makeup application!) 🧖🏻‍♀️
— go see my girl @skinby_syd for all your facial and skincare needs 🫶🏻

Soft wedding guest glam for my girly, Sydney 😍🤎

When I was just a teenager, not knowing my footing yet, Sydney always lifted me up and believed in me. So many years later, she still supports me and refers me to others which makes my heart so happy to know such amazing people like her.

To all of my clients and brides, this is your girly for all things Esthetics! Get your skin glowing for your next event (especially for your wedding!) by seeing Syd @skinby_syd ! I promise you won’t be disappointed 🫶🏻
