Professional wedding hair and makeup designs by Mei, in studio or on location, San Franisco Bay Area, San Jose, Napa Makeup Hair Artist, Marin, Danville
April booked us for her makeup and hair nearly a year in advance for her July 4th weekend wedding at the Palace Hotel. This proved to be a wise decision on her part, as we had over 100 inquiries for her date from when she booked us. After attending her bridal trial in late 2009, she added eight more people for hair and makeup.

In late 2009, we collaborated with international wedding photographer Henry Chen at Lulu and Ken’s wedding at the Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Henry is in high demand — when he is not shooting for the NBA, he is shooting weddings and special events all over the globe. Below are some of the memories from their beautiful wedding in the Bay Area. Thanks to Lulu and Ken for such an memorable wedding!
Jennifer scheduled her bridal trial, excited to go over ideas for hair and makeup for her upcoming wedding at St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco.
At our studio, we discussed Jennifer’s goals, the wedding theme and colors, and went over a few looks that she brought in.
We did makeup first, using our ultra-lightweight MUD foundations. For her lips, I chose Chanel Rouge Double Intensite in Rose Pearl. To create more refined, dramatic look, we used Shu Umuera individually placed eyelashes to really accentuate her eyes. I then created a bridal hairstyle that matched Jennifer’s personality: a sleek, elaborate updo that lasted all day.
Thank you Jennifer and Tim, we loved working with you! And a special thanks to the talented Sylvie Gil for her great photography.
