Eco-Friendly Make-up For Your Wedding Day!

Monday, May 4th, 2009

So many brides have written in to me about how to have the best eco-friendly make-up possible for their wedding day.  It really is a great way to start a new beauty regimen!  I mentioned this briefly in a recent post for the Eco-Friendly wedding that was given away by the DC Green Wedding Consortium.  Carola Myers was the make-up artist and used several eco-friendly products that are easy to find (and within a friendly price range as well)!  Carola used Korres and Aveda products that can be found at Sephora, online and of course at Aveda stores!

 

Take a look at the bride’s make-up from the Earth Day Wedding- before and after photos taken by Jennifer Domenick of Love Life Images.  Flawless, fabulous, earth-friendly make-up is possible!

 

 

 

Look and feel great on your wedding day while being Eco-Beautiful at the same time!
