Imagine a soft ocean breeze, golden sunlight filtering through palm trees, and the gentle sound of waves in the background. That was the setting for Carlos and Alex’s wedding in the Coronado Bay area, one of San Diego’s most picturesque locations.

The Bridal Look: Soft Glam with a Touch of Glow

For Alex’s makeup, we opted for a Full Neutral Glam approach that emphasized her features while maintaining a glamorous feel. Her makeup look included:

• Flawless Skin: A full-coverage, long-lasting foundation with a satin finish to withstand the warm San Diego sun.
• Soft Smoky Eyes: Neutral browns and champagne tones complemented her eye color beautifully.
• Luminous Highlight: A touch of highlighter on the high points of her face for that perfect bridal glow in just the right places

With an early morning start, I made sure to use top-tier, sweat-resistant products to ensure Alex’s look lasted from the ceremony to the final dance of the evening.

Bridal Party Glam

Alex’s bridesmaids opted for soft, sun-kissed looks that complemented the beachside setting. We went with both matte and dewy skin depending on their preference, bronzed cheeks, and natural lip shades to enhance their features without overpowering their natural beauty.

Why San Diego is a Makeup Artist’s Dream

San Diego’s climate is ideal for weddings because of its mild temperatures and low humidity. This allows for more versatility in makeup application, ensuring it stays picture-perfect all day.
