It is my great pride & joy to share a shoot conceptualized by Christine Le and myself to highlight the various wedding vendors located in the San Francisco Bay Area - specifically the South Bay vendors and hidden gems! We were hoping to submit it at the time it was produced & shot in June of 2011, but at the time there were an over saturation of stylized shoots! The photos were shot on film and are as is without alteration. Nearly 2 years later, I am excited to share a few of the images here on my blog. All of our vendors and the models worked hard and we are really proud of our work. Watch the video now! :) :) :)<br />
<br />
I also wanted to thank my friend Patty for agreeing to join! What had happen was the original 'maid of honor' we casted had to cancel because she had to go in to work that day. Patty & I went to grade school together in Bangkok, Thailand...we were supposed to hang out but I got the dates mixed up!! And then I begged and begged Patty! lol this is her acting & modeling debut! </div>

Here is the description of our project:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christine & I drew our inspiration from the heart of California and its Spanish heritage. By juxtaposing a beautiful historic venue with modern elements, we salute old world</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spanish charm but present it with a modern twist!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allied Arts Guild, a cooperative of artists, has been an inspiring sanctuary for artists and craftsmen since 1929. Originally owned by a Spanish King in 1700s, it was designed in the classic Spanish Colonial Style with tile work broughtby art lovers. The location is picture perfect with its exquisite over from Spain and Morocco and purchased Spanish-style gardens, making it a dream destination wedding venue. The Spanish architectural details of the red-roof tiles, archways, courtyards, and wrought iron reflect the beauty and history of California.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our color palette of soft peaches, yellows & ivory was inspired by the warm California sunset as well as the hues of the venue's Spanish tiles. Indelisa Montoro from Royal Bloom designed the romantic yet modern floral designs. Also found in her charming boutique, located in the Allied Arts Guild, is the chandelier, vintage utensils and plates, as well as couture wedding favors like the bird nest our ring bearer is holding in his palm!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The groom and ring bearer wear custom fitted tuxedos provided by Eli Thomas. The lines and ruffles of the bride’s organza ball gown {“Chelsea from David Tutera by Faviana 2011”} echoe the motif of the Spanish tiles. Complementing the gown is a hand-made hair accessory by Bonnie Harper from One World Designs Bridal. Jewelry featuring an elegant organza & cotton flower on top of ivory feathers with a pearl accent in the center; it is placed carefully on top of the modern, side-parted low. The bridesmaid and mother of the bride wear Simone Carvalli – all gowns chignon on the bride by makeup & hair artist Elizabeth Chang from Skyla Arts, and the unique floor-length Sara Gabriel “Rachael” Veil are provided by BoLee Bridal Couture. Also showcased on the bride, is Yael Design’s bridal “Novelique” collection that is opulent and stylish –featuring a beautifully crafted diamond engagement ring. Jewelry worn on thebridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride is from Yael's “Lyra Collection” containing colorful diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Staying true to our Spanish/California inspiration, Tim Prestoza from Low Tek & Elizabeth</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
chose “Mi Corazon” (My Heart/Love) as the background music of our video, and the style of the digital videography –mixing the old and the modern - replicates vintage Super 8 mm film but is done instead (remove instead) digitally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a surprisingly warm day for June, but despite the heat, all the vendors and models pulled out all the stops to create these images & video! We hope you enjoyed the photos and thevideo as much as we do!</div>

I have to admit it's a pretty great feeling to see your makeup & hair work fill up an entire catalog! woohoo! Even though these images have been out for a while now (since I'm lagging on my blogging), I am still thrilled to share the work I did for <a href="http://fundraiser.mixedbagdesigns.com/Spring-Catalog">Mixedbagdesigns</a> for their Spring catalog! For 2 of the days we shot, I was lucky to have my friend Melissa Hoffmann as my 2nd in command to help me get the kiddos ready! I remember distinctly that we had a lot of adventures with the CalTrain....because it coincided with another Giants Parade....! At 5:30am Melissa was trying to catch the CalTrain and almost missed it because the line to get the tickets was so long!! I had no idea fans woke up so early to get into the city for the parade!! Luckily she made it and we were on the train together! So much excitement (or rather anxiety!!!) to get to a job ....! If we drove, we might have missed the job with all the traffic!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wardrobe stylist <a href="http://peggijeung.com/">Peggi Jeung</a> and I had a lot of fun on this job! And I was thrilled to work on the Fall catalog again with the same team last week! We also got to work with great models - Men & Women, kids and teens from Stars, Look and JE Models!<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to sharing the Fall catalog when it comes out!! :) Until next time!!! <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Congratulations to Amy & Steven! Or rather, happy anniversary!! I know...their 1 year anniversary already passed recently- but it's still a great day to celebrate their love and admire their beautiful photos! It was a fairly warm day, and while we were comfortable while in Cypress Hotel, I know that it was definitely warm in Los Gatos at the bridal cottage! The heat did not take away the charge of Amy & Steven one bit!!! I loved how Calvin of Fisheye Photos and Richard+Rose of Grover Films captured the couples happiness! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the consultation, Amy had described that the hair she wanted was a flower bun with some branches and leaves branching out! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even on a really warm day, if you properly and gently blot off the excess moisture (or sweat) or oil, your makeup will be sure to last throughout the day with little disturbance. Just remember that makeup can be water proof but not oil proof or smudge proof! If we've worked together, I am sure you heard me say this! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway without further babbling, please enjoy a few of Amy & Steven's images & the video by Grover Films! For more photos, be sure to visit Calvin's blog, <a href="http://calvinyaophotography.blogspot.com/2012/05/amy-stevens-enchanted-wedding-in.html" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Fisheye Photos</a>!

"My Five Top Tips for (Most) Clients"<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Greetings from Los Angeles! I am down here briefly for The Makeup Show LA that happened last weekend for education/kit investment, for work (and hustling!), and two bridal consultations! I have consultations and meetings lined up when I return home and I cannot wait to meet my potential brides of 2013 (& 2014!)!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This morning, I am feeling particularly grateful to have great clients & great potential clients! To potential future clients & vendors alike, I urge you to read this blog by Preston Bailey:<a href="http://blog.prestonbailey.com/2013/03/04/my-five-top-tips-for-most-clients/"> "My Five Top Tips for (Most) Clients"</a>! </div>
<br />
Just in case you did not click through to the link, I will highlight - in quotes the 3/5 that stood out to me (even though ALL 5 are important!)<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq ">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">"<b>I. </b>We are artists who have gone into business to make a profit. Please refrain from placing us in a position where we feel you are trying to get us to give away our services. It is disrespectful, and leads to resentment of both the client and the job itself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>II</b>. Our main goal is to make you happy. We have the utmost respect for you and your budget, which is why we are willing to be honest about what you can and cannot afford. Please remain flexible with your budget, if you want “more” than what your budget allows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>V</b>. Last but not least, know that we value and respect you. Without you, we do not have a chance to design, and we do not have a business. It is for this reason that we are always willing to go the extra mile, and further. Please be generous and responsive with your feedback, as it is the only way we can learn and grow."</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are great advice, and written so concisely and nicely! I couldn't have said it any better than Preston! I have some thoughts that came to mind when I read them and here it goes: Regarding #I, we are artists and service providers, but we are people too - we need to make a living doing what we do! #II. We would not be in this industry if we did not have any desire to make you happy - in fact, that is our main goal! But please understand that our rates are a reflection of our services and unique artistry, something that can't be interchanged with another artist based on pricing, and if you like what we offer and are interested in hiring us, then please don't forget to think about us when you are designating where to spend your budget! #V. If you don't provide any feedback (positive or constructive), it would be difficult for us to meet your needs. We are artists with our own vision, tastes, and personalities. We are eager to please you (the client!) and make you happy but we cannot do that if we don't know what you are looking for! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To end this seemingly random blog post, here is a random photo from Monday's photo shoot! :P You know backstage in fashion week where the photographers come in and snaps away of the makeup in progress? This was one of those images! I was in the middle of finishing up her makeup, lashes are not done, and obviously her lips are still missing! :) :) No worries, with the right products, you can reduce the appearance of dryness! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was an absolute pleasure to work with an amazing team - this gorgeous model (Sacha from Wilhelmina LA), photographer Alvin Nguyen, and celebrity hair stylist Daven Mayeda on this shoot. I was definitely excited and inspired again with everyone's creative energies coursing around! Most importantly, I challenged myself with trying to do eyebrows a different way than what I'm used to (based on the class/demo taught by Sam Fine last Saturday at the Makeup Show LA)! I'm just happy to be pushing myself harder to get to the next level!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until next time! Have a happy Thursday/Friday and Weekend ahead! v^o^v</div>

Please meet my "shimmy shimmy Bride" Danica! Special thanks to Christina from Nightingale Photography for sharing these beautiful images with me. This awesome video highlight is from Christina's <a href="http://nightingalephotosblog.com/sneak-peek-danica-and-alfred-married-st-ignatius-legion-of-honor/">blog</a>, where you can see MORE beautiful photos of Danica & Alfred!!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love this video by Nightingale Photography!! Makes my eye water a little every time! I love their story, and I love the editing here! <br />
<br />
I was introduced to Danica via my bride <a href="http://skyla-arts.blogspot.com/2011/12/gillian-walter-san-francisco-city-hall.html">Jill</a>! They were co-workers, and when Danica saw Jill's photos on her handheld digital camera, Danica decided to sign the contract with me right away, even though her wedding was almost a year away at the time! I thought that was awesome....! But even more crazy is I received over 11 more inquiries for Danica's date! It's fate I guess that we got to do Danica's wedding! :) <br />
<br />
I felt even more honored when I found out that Danica wanted a more glamorous look, something that I didn't already showcased in my portfolio. She trusted in me in my artistry enough to know without a doubt (without seeing any glamorous makeups, without trying me out!) to send me the contract and retainer fee!!! During our consultation, we did a smokey eye, but Danica realized she wanted more, and on the day-of, she requested 2 sets of faux lashes, and asked Carolyn to add the hair extensions! Even my teammate Carolyn was surprised because she has never seen me do a glamorous look like this before, after working with me for so long!<br />
<br />
Carolyn and I also 'glammed' up her mom (who also wore 2 sets of faux lashes!), and a few of her bridesmaids; the rest of her bridesmaids were glammed up by her family members! It was a lot of love and positive energy in the getting ready suite at the Hyatt, and....I will never forget this...! After Danica got in her dress and Christina was snapping away, I looked over to snap some photos of her with my phone, and I see Danica doing the Shimmy! This is why I call her my shimmy shimmy bride! She was feelin' the whole thing!!! She was feeling great, and her happiness was so contagious!!! Carolyn and I left with a huge smile on our faces, all the way until we drove home! :) Just wanted to emphasize that even though a glamorous style is not 'my' personal style, it doesn't mean I don't find it beautiful or I don't know how to execute it! What's MOST important is that the client, the bride, looks & feels the most beautiful!!!! Brides that Shimmy = unforgettable! <3 p=""><br />
Please enjoy a few highlights from Danica & Alfred's wedding! </3></div>

I had a great pleasure working with Mindy + Steven for their big day last March in Capitola, CA. Mindy, with the help of the mother of the bride + mother of the groom really put everything together - they decked out her mother's beautiful backyard/garden in Capitola. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When I met Mindy for the consultation, she said to me (paraphrased) "I am so lucky to marry my best friend." It is always a joy to see two families become one! Mindy is a successful <a href="http://themommyblog.com/">blogger</a> & <a href="http://www.amazon.com/42-Rules-Divorcing-Children-Well-Adjusted/dp/1607730723/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1349362287&sr=1-6&linkCode=ur2&tag=themommyblog-20">book author</a>. It was really fun to listen to her share with me her experience as a professional model! It's no surprise to me that Mindy was working full-time as a model, (she is gorgeous!) flying to Germany and Japan! I also got to work with Daphne, Mindy's beautiful daughter, who requested an elegant french twist. I was also thrilled that Steven was open to receive Groom's grooming services! :) Trust me...it's very subtle. If I didn't tell you, could you really tell he had a little bit of concealer and some powder on? A little goes a long way for those wedding photos! </div>

Last summer I posted the teaser for the "<a href="http://skyla-arts.blogspot.com/2012/07/from-runway-makeup-hair-aw-2012-into.html">Behind the Scenes</a>" from this shoot and discussed some of the Fall Trends on the runway. Even though the photos were up on my portfolio (wink wink...I have updated my bridal website's slideshow + commercial print portfolio) but I post more images on the blog! Enough babbling!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were going for a Parisian vibe, but it was shot in the beautiful windy San Francisco! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am so pleased with this set! All of the photos were shot on film photography - the colors and richness! To my knowledge, most film photographers do not spend a lot of time in photo shop, so I try to make the subjects look as perfect as possible for every frame. I love the film look and I am thrilled with how the hair/makeup/grooming turned out too! Woohoo! ^.~ The middle to last part of 2012 I had a lot of men's grooming jobs, either working on CEOs or for print work on male models ages 20-40. I am quiet enjoying it more than before! While men 'take less time' or could be thought of as 'easier' compared to woman, I have to say it's definitely a balance making it look like they are not wearing any makeup at all, and their hair natural but 'well groomed.' It's actually a lot of fun styling men's hair - it kind of feels like 'molding clay' or something into a mini sculpture, but it's actually hair! Fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Matt posted the photos on <a href="http://mattedge.com/blog/?p=1665">his blog</a>s - I selected a few different ones to highlight because I'm trying to showcase my makeup/hair work but I really love how he put it together! The wonderful thing is Matt moved from LA to the SF area, and so we'll be working together again! Very excited to work with Matt again! Previously I had to go to LA to work with Matt, or wait for him to come up to the SF area en route to work a wedding in Napa/Sonoma! </div>

I hope everyone is having a great January so far! I thought long and hard about what to blog about as the first post of the year! I think blogging is like exercising; once you've stopped for a while, it is so much harder to get started again! I took an entire week off work over the Holidays, and that was really lovely! Last October, my husband and I FINALLY made it to our honeymoon (it only took us 3-4 years of marriage to finally go on vacation/honeymoon!). I figured if I worked majority of the year, I should take Christmas and New Years off! For a week, I felt like a normal person - going to the grocery store, cooking, spending a lot of time with friends and family, regular exercise, de-cluttering my home, spending time with my husband. It sounds terribly mundane, but these moments are precious to me because strangely, it doesn't always happen, and definitely not in such a peaceful manner! You could say because of work-aholicism (admittedly, my partner and I are both workaholics) or...a more neutral yet accurate way to say it is "I'm a small business owner." I prioritize my work over a lot of things and I've been gradually working towards having a more balanced lifestyle! Reflecting back on 2012 and how it buzzed by, I am determined to work on that balanced lifestyle in 2013! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I shared with my close friend outside of my industry that I have March-Dec 2012 weddings to catch-up on my blog, and he said: "Liz, you better get to it!! Do it now!!!" I'll be trying my best to put those up, but I'm not making any promises! I thought about it over the holidays - my purpose of having a blog is to give the reader (or potential client) a glimpse to who I am/who I am as an artist (they are not mutually exclusive!), who I am as a business owner, and a sample of my personal aesthetic. I find that while I do want to showcase my work (Look what I've done!! yipee!!!), I think that it's more important for my future clients to know that my personal aesthetic is actually not as important as my clients' personal aesthetic! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really just want to make my client happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On occasion I would get into deep conversations about beauty with people I encounter, about the visceral impact it has on us. People outside of the fashion/beauty industry and don't care much for it would be surprised to learn how up-close and personal a hair and makeup service can get. It's visceral, emotional - it can trigger something that affects them in a way they never thought a simple makeup/hair service could! It can be anything...I compliment the client's lips while doing lipstick, and she says: "they are just like my grandmother...I miss her..." I enjoy meeting different types of people, but what's even more enjoyable, is if I can help them reach their goal with their hair and makeup!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I sometimes ask myself: Who am I to decide what you "should" look like? What gives me the right to be a "taste maker" with your makeup & hair? When I was little, art teachers would say: "You really have an artistic eye" and I knew it was meant to be a compliment and felt joy hearing it - thanked them politely, but I never felt like what I saw was necessarily unique or "better" than my classmate next to me - my vision and interpretation is divine, and sacred - to me! The same way my classmates' interpretation is sacred to them. However, I understand when my clients come to me, they generally do want my input and opinion, which I do share, but I end up either following the clients' preference, or meeting in the middle! Why? Because my goal is not to impose my aesthetic; my goal is really that the client looks in the mirror and loves what s/he sees, feels beautiful, and their day is "uplifted" in some way! Sometimes my clients' preference follows my personal aesthetic to the dot! When that happens, I feel like: "Wow! you really 'see' like me!!" and that's a lot of fun! But not my primary objective! When I see how fabulous they feel, I cannot help but "see" them as simply "Beautiful" - even if the up-do or the shade of lipstick is not one I would normally choose. I see beauty as being beyond a person's subjective interpretation of their reflection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier today, my client from last fall used g-chat to let me know that she had written a review on yelp for me! I immediately went to read it, and it really made my day! Immediately I was reminded of an inspirational book, "<a href="http://www.daymakermovement.com/daymaker-movement/be-a-daymaker.aspx">Life of a Daymaker</a>" by David Wagner, owner of the Juut Aveda Salons. I loaned that book to my mother-in-law who brought it with her to Seoul {who also is still holding onto my copy of "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Andy-Warhol-Back-Again/dp/0156717204">The Philisophy of Andy Warhol</a>"! Hey Omeoni! I want my books back! ;P} but if I still had my copy, I would be opening up a passage randomly, and find a paragraph to inspire me. After reading Life of a Daymaker, I love my job even more! I want to be my client's Daymaker, and that's my goal - but when my clients tell me I made their day, they actually become MY daymaker! ♥ I highly recommend reading <a href="http://www.daymakermovement.com/daymaker-movement/the-story-that-changed-my-life.aspx">the story that changed his life</a>, and the rest of the book! I loved the part where described how he got into his career, one that his family did not support, and that he started humbly as a valet car parker for the clients who went to the Aveda salon. He made sure he was the BEST car parker and worked his way up and was determined to become a hair dresser! If my goal in life was to make a lot of money, I probably would have opted for a career in finance - but alas, that is not my goal for my life! I love being of service to someone who needs my service, and I love making someone's day. As makeup/hair artists, we don't have the easiest job nor the hardest job. There are parts of it that I am sure we all do not LOVE doing - just like any other job in the world. For us, we feel like we have the best job! I truly feel grateful to have worked another year in this industry, doing what I love - Hopefully many more years to come!! But as my friend says, cross the bridge when you get there! Take it one year at a time! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you managed to read all of this rambling...then...! In conclusion, I am very excited for 2013! I'm looking forward to all the new people I will be meeting, seeing their vision of beauty with the "inspiration" images they will be bringing me, and just doing lots of makeup/hair!!! Yay!!!<br />

I've been meaning to try Zumba for a while, more so after these two assignments for Z-Life Magazine! Coincidentally, I received these photos today, and I also received my<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zumba-Fitness-Core-Xbox-360/dp/B008BERH08/ref=pd_sim_vg_2"> Zumba Fitness Xbox game</a> in the mail!! Now that my husband and I FINALLY installed curtains, I won't have to feel self conscious about my neighbors looking in while I attempt to work out a sweat in my living room! ;)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was very very excited to get an opportunity for a tear sheet that features "beauty" work and we got to do 2 different features (one for the serum, the other for the hair chalking technique!!!) I was pleased to see that it was also the first story in the issue!!! yay! I look forward to work with this magazine again and of course, trying Zumba! <span style="text-align: justify;"> For the serum shot, my left hand is in the shot (lol! my first shoot as a 'hand model'! lol!!!) and Rebecca was holding the serum droplet!! It was a lot harder than it looked but we were able to get the shot under Laura's expert guidance!! Laura did an amazing job with...everything!!! Planning the shoots, casting the PERFECT models, and then - the beautiful product shots!!! Bravo bravo!! I can't feel more proud of the spread!!! Not shown here, but there was a product shot that featured a </span><a href="http://lauratillinghast.com/p835097502#h49c14e00" style="text-align: justify;">REAL LIVE SNAKE</a><span style="text-align: justify;">!!! Click to see it! I think that is pretty rad! :) :) :)</span></div>
<br />
On the personal note....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm heading to LA next week for a job, and the job continues the following week here in the Bay - and after the job completes, I head to NYC for a destination wedding! I don't know...my goal of catching up with blogging doesn't seem to be a realistic one...! You may also notice that I seem to prefer to blog the commercial/print work that I do, versus the 37+ weddings I haven't gotten around to!!! I hope you don't think that I prefer one type of work over the other because of this!!! The truth is, blogging about my lovely brides and their handsome grooms requires more time commitment, and also I am still collecting the photos from spring/summer weddings. My beloved iMac is also reaching the end of its rope....! And I'm having trouble updating my gallery on my bridal page...which brings me to... my new bridal website that will launch Spring of 2013! I will begin working with a webdesigner/developer this coming month! It's very exciting but wow...I was thinking Nov/Dec will be a nice down time for me, but it didn't end up happening that way. I hope I don't sound like one of those people who goes "I am just SO busy...SO busy" and it gets annoying. You know the type!!! :P But I have to say my plate is quite full, and I feel very blessed to be busy (even though I do whine about it when it gets a little overwhelming!!), working in an industry that I love. In the meantime, if you would like to see sneak peaks of bridal photos, please like & follow the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Skyla-Arts-Makeup-Hair/106994926126?fref=ts">Skyla Arts Facebook Page</a>. I also have a Commercial Facebook Page, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Elizabeth-Chang-Makeup-Hair/271935149489715?fref=ts">Elizabeth Chang | Makeup & Hair</a>, dedicated to sharing commercial/print/photoshoot work. Lastly, I'm active on <a href="http://instagram.com/elizabethchang_mua">Instagram</a> and post behind the scenes snapshots and of course...my cat Skyla, and occasionally the food I'm eating :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday I did a bridal preview/consultation with a lovely bride-to-be, and she asked how many weddings I did/am doing this year, and I said: "I think it's 40 or 41" and she thought that was a lot! Definitely a lot more than last year! But I know of colleagues that do 60+, or 100+! I had a conversation with them about it...I ask them..."How do you manage??!!" Next year I will feel so lucky & honored if 40 brides choose me for their big day! I'm just hoping that next year will be even better than this year! And by that I don't mean I hope to get more than 40 brides! :P Truly truly...to my clients who hired me, if I haven't said it enough, THANK YOU! Yes yes...This is a belated Thanksgiving post! :P :P </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until next time!!! *smiles*</div>

I seem to find my work through Instagram a lot! <a href="http://www.scouttm.com/#imagegalleries/new faces/Karyta/1">Karyta</a>, the beautiful model on the left (from Brazil & represented by Scout SF) had posted the photo of her for the <a href="http://www.pbteen.com/shop/sale/sleepover-sale/">Sleepover sale</a> on her Instagram account! Eventually, with her assistance, I was able to locate where the full size image was through the PB Teen website (I clicked on the product, and this photo was the last 'view' of the product!), and I also the spread of the catalogue! The other beauty on the right, is <a href="http://www.castimages.com/Lifestyle_profile.cfm?id=4675&CategoryName=KIDS%2FTEENS">Alina</a> at Cast Images!</div>

It finally feels like Winter here in the Bay Area! I am excited to share these images that I did the makeup & hair - I worked on the on-location ones and not the in-studio photos of the look book. It took place in a beautiful historical home for<a href="http://www.tartcollections.com/lookbooks/2012-winter-holiday"> Tart Collections</a> Winter/Holiday 2012 look book. I was pleasantly surprised that the above image from our shoot also ran as an advertisement, first in September's Collector's edition of <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/bazaar-blog/september-collectors-edition-082812">Harper's Bazaar</a>, then again in the 40th Anniversary Edition of <a href="http://www.wmagazine.com/about/40th-anniversary">W Magazine</a>! I found out about Harper's Bazaar in August through Tart Collection's facebook/instagram page, but the W Magazine was the huge surprise for me - like a shock wave. I was just browsing my magazine casually...and BAM it was there! I know and understand that having an ad run in the print is not the same as having the cover & cover story or a full-blown editorial featured in W or Harper's Bazaar, but seeing it in print was still an emotional experience for me, particularly because I actually subscribe to these two magazines and of course, aspire to be featured in it! It is particularly surreal because I am so used to seeing the glossy ads, and I was admiring the perfect ad for Dolce & Gabbana makeup ad featuring Scarlett Johansson and showing my husband how perfect it looks...It really is shocking to be in the same magazine, printed really really big! The gorgeous model is <a href="http://www.starsmodelmgmt.com/portfolio.php?did=2516&tid=6892&name=Larisa_Fraser">Larisa</a> from Stars Model Management SF. </div>

You can see the entire lookbook <a href="http://www.tartcollections.com/lookbooks/2012-winter-holiday">here</a> - and also found on the website is a little behind the scenes video of the on-location day. If you look closely you will find me combing her hair and watching the set. I'm truly grateful for the people who are willing to give me a chance and do work that I love doing....! Hopefully I will get to do more soon...! ;) </div>

Here I go again - blogging out of order! I just settled for the fact that I will probably not be able to blog about everything I do, because there's so much to do, and I want to be able to enjoy everything instead of viewing it as a chore or some task I must do! I just got back from a brief week-long vacation in Kauai, HI with my husband. We have not gone anywhere together since we tied the knot - not even on our honeymoon. Definitely a huge reward for us to save up and go somewhere! I have to say it's really hard to go from working 60-80 hrs to less than 1 hr a week - to leave your cellphone alone and not touch it - but I think I was doing pretty ok on that! ;) ;) While away, I was just laying by the beach or the pool reading frivolous books - and I mean these <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regency_romance">historical regency romance novels</a>! As I was organizing the latest images from my portfolio, I couldn't help but notice that these photos from a series titled "Young Love" by photographer Angie Silvy can totally fit into a hilarious & entertaining narrative that summarizes into a romance novel. :P So I'll be providing these funny captions for your entertainment! Or you can ignore it and just check out the lovely photos! :) I was thrilled to work with such an awesome team of professionals! Can't wait to work together again some time in the future! xoxo</div>

<i>Here goes..the story of Lord Cameron and Miss Hanna...(LOL)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The "season" just began, and the noble/worthy "ton" who were fortunate to receive an invitation to Lord Cameron's month-long soiree at his Golden Gate Estate, arrives and participates in a game of croquet. </i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Of course - all of the ladies wanted to capture the attention of the young & handsome, wealthy successor of the title, and of course - the most eligible bachelor, Lord Cameron! Always impeccably dressed and dashing, it's no surprise he is always surrounded by the ladies. However, if you notice carefully, his usual confidence always wavers subtly as his childhood playmate, the stubborn and stunning Miss Hanna, walks into the scene.</i></div>

<i>C: "Do you even know the proper position of handling a mallet? Do you need me to show you again?"</i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>H: "I can handle it just fine! Don't touch me!" and she thinks - how can he be a bigger pompous ass than he was last year? Despite their facade of antagonism, they soon realized they were attracted to each other...so they planned a stroll in the forest... </i></div>

<i>And a picnic on the lawn - without a chaperone! How scandalous!!!! If anyone found out about it, Miss Hanna's reputation will be utterly ruined, and she can only settle to be someone's mistress!!! </i><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Still, the battle of wills persist, as the free-spirited Hanna never enjoyed being a proper "Lady" - but if she were to marry Lord Cameron, she would have to follow the strict social etiquette as befits her new status. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Is summer really over??<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am definitely feeling the fall coming, especially in the mornings and evenings! Don't let these sunny photos fool you - it was a little chilly by the beach! I think this was Feb/March time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was amazing that Amanda's natural hair texture was exactly what we were going for so all I did was just smooth it out a little bit with a tiny bit of cream to prevent any frizzy fly-aways! Beachy hair is supposed to be more loose/undone, but we still want the 'mess' to look intentional and not just simply...mess! Chloe (in the polka dot bikini) came in from Arizona (OK...if it wasn't Arizona it's close by!) and I did her hair in the car! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was using my trunk as a table, and I pulled out my makeup chair for them to sit! A pair of older ladies drove by and asked Kelsie (Kelsie is Sasha's studio manager) and myself: "Is that a REAL makeup chair? Where did you buy it?" And after I said: "Los Angeles" they just drove off!! At this shoot, we had a special visitor! Kristen, their agent from Stars, stopped by and said hi!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was challenging to select the film from this shoot, but in the end, I ended up with these 4 images that I love! The girls were bringing it! Running down the beach, doing some cart wheels, and even interacting with strangers while modeling (not shown here obviously lol...!) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used Stila's One-Step Primecolor in "Kitten" on Chloe's lids, and "Pop of Pink" on the lips and cheeks. On the cheeks it was followed by Yaby Blush BL0015+BL001 for a natural coral/pink color that shows up nicely against the blueish-colored sunlight. If you don't balance the color, it will wash out! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In October, my husband and I are finally going on our first 'real' vacation! That means, the trip is JUST for relaxing and resting...no agenda (ie: attend a wedding etc etc)! In fact, we have not gone on our honeymoon yet....but we've already been married 4 years (since 9/19 last week!) so it's too late to call it a honeymoon! lol...</div>

Congratulations to Mindy & Robert! This lovely couple tied the knot in San Francisco City Hall in February 2012! Mindy phoned me to inquire about my services, and I was pretty surprised to find out that her wedding date is less than a week away, right after Valentines Day! When she came in for the consultation, I had asked her about her dress, and she told me she was on her way to Nordstroms after our appointment to try to find something. I immediately suggested my preferred vendor, <a href="http://www.boleebridal.com/">BoLee Bridal Couture</a> in Sunnyvale, CA. Mindy's folks live in China, and could not long distant flight, and even though they are having a City Hall Ceremony, I thought that she would still love for the day to be ultra special! I think the dress definitely was definitely the magic item, that Jon the hero of the day made happen! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the timeline to get a gown would seem like mission impossible, (6 days!) it turns out that the owner Bo, had ordered an extra size 6, a "just in case" dress, for a last minute bride! Their in-house tailor, Jon, worked miracles, and gave up his Valentines Day plans to finish the dress so that Mindy could have her beautiful San Patrick gown fitted to her petite body!!! I did not know all of this was going on until I arrived bright and early at the apartment to get Mindy ready! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.iqphoto.com/">IQphoto</a> did a phenomenal job capturing the couple and the beautiful dress! The portrait photo of Mindy standing by the window with (above photo to the right!) is just one of my favorites! :) Of course I'm a little biased because it also showcases my hair work ;P Special thanks to Joseph from IQphoto who was patient to let me choose the photos to share on my blog and website! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Initially during the consultation, we did an up-do with more details and texture in the back, but that was before Mindy found the dress! So she had emailed me and told me that because there is that ruffling/train detail, she thought it would be best to keep the hair in a more simple chignon, and showed me a photo of <a href="http://cdn.indulgy.com/E4/9C/o2/205124957997619558mkOLllf5c.jpg">Tina Fey at the Sag Awards 2011</a>, and I completely agreed with her decision! :) I of course love brides who know what they want and love! I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did when I first got them from Joseph @ IQphoto!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am excited to finally start the process of blogging the weddings from 2012 & to share all of beautiful brides earlier this year! Stay tuned! :)</div>

After planning out this beauty story, our original model had a last-minute emergency and couldn't make it. We still had all of the lighting equipment, so we decided to do the shoot anyway. I posted on my Facebook asking if any models were free at short notice. Thankfully, Ashley rescued the day and could come instead! We changed the concept a bit to fit Ashley's skin and the lighting, and got some beautiful photos! Ashley is a really good beauty model to work with and really knows how to pose well for the camera. Since September is here...I guess it's time to post some Fall Colors? </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We went to Michael's to get the materials for the various hair accessories. I used lip tars from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics for the lip looks. I really like the braided look on Ashley. Considering the last-minute changes, we were really happy to come out with some good images from this shoot! Check out the other photos!<br />

Um! It's now Summer - but why am I posting a fall/winter shoot? :) I am getting senile (yes yes...my birthday is coming up so I have legitimate reasons to say I this) and of course I haven't been posting everything in order! This past weekend was my second time shooting in Santa Cruz, and it reminded me that I have yet to share these images on the blog! </div>

Earlier this spring, I worked on a look book for a quality clothing company <a href="http://tartcollections.com/">Tart Collections</a> but I haven't seen the images from there...until now!!! This is a page in the September issue of <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/magazine/cover/gwen-stefani-interview-0912?click=main3">Harper's Bazaar</a>!!!! Look for the Gwen Stefani Cover! :) I know it's not the same as having an editorial in there, but...it's still pretty exciting for me...! To see it in Harper's Bazaar! Crazy!!! I subscribe to 3 magazines in the U.S.: W, Marie Claire & Harper's Bazaar! Anyway...I am just so thrilled to see an image from that day, and to see it in print = even better! The beautiful model, Larisa, is just...super gorgeous, and beautiful inside & out!! She doesn't really need any photoshop/photo editing! :P She exercises regularly, and has a passion for cooking! You can check out her blog, <a href="http://www.modeleatsblog.com/">Model Eats</a> to learn some unique recipes & get health/beauty tips!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also currently found on the newsstands, is the Fall 2012 issue of The Knot! Sorry you have to bear with my terrible iPhone photo shots of the magazines....! But...for quality images, you can find them at your local newsstand! :D<br />
<br />
I worked on the cover+cover story under the Key Artist, <a href="http://erinskipley.com/">Erin Skipley</a>! I was really excited to assist Erin - I just had a great feeling about her, and without knowing anyone else who also knows her, contacted her via facebook messaging around February of this year, and then ran into her at The Makeup Show in LA! I then walked over to introduce myself, and because Erin works in Seattle/LA, I knew it will be a long shot to assist her, but when this opportunity came up, I dropped everything and flew to LA for the day!!! It was a long and tough day! (GORGEOUS wedding dress after wedding dress after wedding dress) but I loved every minute of it! ! ! ! ! I was very proud to be Erin's assistant and it was very exciting to meet Elizabeth Messina and all the lovely vendors, AND to be at Smashbox studios! (more Behind The Scenes coming soon!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you didn't know my aesthetic already... I looove this type of look! Very bohemian, romantic...and FILM. I was gushing the whole day!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Congratulations to Joyce & Jeff on their intimate San Francisco City Hall Wedding earlier this February!<br />
<br />Special thanks to <a href="http://www.mistilayne.com/">Misti Layne</a> for sharing their beautiful photos with me!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The happy couple had a long distance relationship until Joyce moved to the West Coast so they could be together! I always find it romantic, when Long-D (long distance relationships) have a happy ending!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While I was working on Joyce's hair and makeup, the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom got their hair done by Melissa, who fortunately was available to help me out on this early morning! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the bridal party was on their way, I took Melissa to breakfast at "A Good Morning" (in Los Altos - very yummy eggs benedict~ mmmm!). That was when I received the call from Seventeen Magazine about doing makeup for the spread that came out in April!!! I was so surprised and ecstatic - and I was lucky to share the moment with my friend Melissa. It was a great day all around!!!! I know I am super behind in blogging weddings, but better later than never!!! I'm sure I'll be able to catch-up by Christmas time...Maybe! Enjoy the photos & have a great evening!! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was super excited to work with the Sasha & Peggi again! This shoot starred Kelsie's baby pug dog, Jewel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At each photo shoot, something fun usually happens, but this one I enjoyed in particular! J<span style="background-color: white;">ewel (the adorable pug) was a bit of a diva because Jewel's loyalties are with Kelsie and Kelsie only! The whole scene was super hilarious because Jewel's eyes will follow Kelsie wherever she went, and her face screamed: "Help me help me! This girl I don't know is kissing me!!!!" - That was the face the whole time!! Scroll down to the bottom to see an outtake shot - the GOLDEN moment that Jewel let go of her reservations, and gave Sarina a KISS - from afar! Sasha caught it all on camera! :) :) I laughed so so hard when I saw the film! Jewel did it unwillingly - you see, her eyes were even closed to block out the emotions - like a kid's first kiss or something! So adorable! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another "lol" moment is the look with the heart-shaped sunglasses...! Sasha turned around to the three of us {Peggi the stylist, Kelsie the studio manager, and myself} and said: "I can see your reflection...you look like the 3 mean girls with your arms crossed."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a warm sunny day...All I wanna do is lay on the grass and lounge around. Meet Alex - she has a really beautiful smile and a sweet personality! Her southern accent is adorable! ;) Immediately upon starting her makeup, I was like: "Doesn't she look like Alexis Bledel?!" After the first few looks, I knew the plan was to do a picnic theme, so then...I kept pushing for the red lips - knowing how gorgeous it looks on Alexis and how it will pop from the lush green colors of the grass. Unfortunately I had to leave the shoot early to make another appointment. Sasha thought maybe they would switch into a more neutral lip for the picnic, so I handed them a wipe and a empty jar with a tiny bit of lipstick. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I got the photos back, I was ecstatic to find that they decided to keep the red lips towards the end and I loved the results. There were many other favorites from this shoot, but I selected 5 of my favorites! Out of the five, my favorite is the first one above! It's such a happy photo...and I love the polka dots against the grassy fields! One of my photography friends pointed out that I seem to be fond of back-lit images - YES it's true!! I like it when the subject looks like they are glowing! ^.~</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Peanut, the cute dog featured, belongs to Peggi. As I was doing Alex's hair, Peanut was pacing around the apartment {a very cute studio apartment that Alex was renting out for the duration of her stay in SF} - and Peggi said: "Peanut! Come back! You are in the hair spray zone!" lol...and Peanut obediently marched back to the safety of the other side of the studio. that was my favorite quote of the day.</div>
<br />
I hope everyone is having a good day/good week so far!<br />

Hello ya'all! Time for an annual makeup & hair trend report. It's been nearly a year since my last<a href="http://skyla-arts.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-beauty-fall-2011-2012-makeup-trend.html"> trend report</a>! yikes!! I try to be more diligent but honestly...I'm kind of a Fall/Winter gal to begin with (Born in September!) so naturally I enjoy the looks that extend from summer to the fall the most. Enough babbling and onward with the post!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was such a pleasure to work again with L.A. based fashion photographer<a href="http://mattedge.com/"> Matt Edge</a> and his beautiful and talented sidekick, Allison Edge! The shoot was styled by Allison with our minimal input (my Tory Burch sunglasses made an appearance!) I snapped all of these behind the scene images with my iPhone and then used photoshop curves to portray the colors I want! I've been really into Instagram but in the end, the photoshop curves give you more flexibility and fun (albeit more time consuming)</div>

Meet Sara J. from <a href="http://scouttm.com/">Scout SF</a> and Conrad from <a href="http://www.starsmodelmgmt.com/">Stars SF</a>! It was so cool when Matt & I agreed on our top choice of models! I always feel invigorated and inspired to work with professionals that share a passion for the art, and then we work together towards executing the vision! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similar to last year, I've gone through some of the shows, and decided to pick-up and hone into a few of the looks I've selected to shape the type of look that I'm going for...The huge difference is...I put the looks together and presented it, with the help of my wonderful summer intern, Anna! The ones I've selected will be featured after the Behind the Scenes photos! Scroll down! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I selected one to two elements per look to feature:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Look 1</b> had the pin-curl classic waves that frames the face. The makeup is similar to the Dior/Ralph Lauren look - I incorporated the flirty but still natural looking false lashes! </div>
<br />

<b style="text-align: justify;">Look 2</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> really focused on the messy french twist. I thought about doing the side swept thing in the front, but decided in the end to sweep it back for a more natural volume! I wish I got a photo of the back, but for now you can see it below from a side view. I loved the Vespa scene!!!! Conrad commutes around the city in his Vespa, and it was a perfect (and unexpected) prop for the scene! They looked super cute together! </span><br />

<b>Look 3,</b> I emphasize the wing liner slightly, but I mostly wanted to focus on the red lips. I was inspired to leave it half down - so ended up with this look! My goal was to make Sarah elegant and polished!<br />
<br />
We'll see how the photos turn out in a few weeks! :) Scroll down to see the Fall looks summarized.<br />

<u style="background-color: white;">Makeup</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Clean semi-matte skin, full brows, lightly contoured eye shadow, a dust of peachy/pinky cheeks and a tiny bit of contouring for the cheeks, clean </span><b style="background-color: white;">winged liner</b><span style="background-color: white;"> and naturally pinky-nude lip color {as seen in Ralph Lauren & Christian Dior - although I love that Dior added the false lashes, emphasizing the </span><b style="background-color: white;">cat-eye</b><span style="background-color: white;"> shape} Lanvin & Anna Sui had a thicker and more dramatic winged liner, while it may be appropriate for parties, it may be harder to sport on the daily basis!</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Bright</b> </span><b style="background-color: white;">Pop of lipstick - </b><span style="background-color: white;">orange-red</span><span style="background-color: white;"> - even though it is also a great color for spring and summer with brighter colors, when paired with classic colors like black/gold/brown/nudes {Featured here in Dennis Basso, but also seen in Zac Posen and Marc by Marc Jacobs} A brighter lipstick like a soft fuschia, goes really well with darker colors like black/gray and blues and purples, making it a beautiful and versatile color for fall wardrobes.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<u>Hair</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">I am attracted to the <b>classic shape of the pin-curl</b> featured in Dior S/S Couture and Dennis Basso in Fall Ready-to-wear and how it frames the face. Tuck it in for a faux bob, or let it down for a side pony.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Speaking of <b>ponytails</b>, my favorite is the Anna Sui one with a retro flair that is perfectly sleek. The volume in the ponytail for Ralph Lauren is placed low - you can make it sleek, or wear it textured and messy. The 'key' feature of the pony is that it's a low pony by the occipital bone (above the nape).</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Lastly, I noted the <b>french twists</b> - my favorite would be the messy ones featured in Tory Burch. I was also very drawn to the different placements - in Donna Karen, the french twist is pushed all the way to one side, giving a dramatic asymmetry! But, comparatively I'm more drawn to the ones featured in Valentino - it looks very subtle and elegant in the front, but very dramatic from the side. </li>
</ul>

Last month a new federal regulation about sunscreen came out. The new laws primarily influence sunscreen labeling:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>anything less than SPF 15 that did not pass the new test that was developed must have a big warning label on it saying that it does not protect against sun burn, skin damage, skin cancer, etc. </li>
<li>SPF labels above SPF 50 are banned (basically because above SPF 50 doesn't make much of a difference)</li>
<li>terms like "sunblock" and "water-proof" are banned (because nothing can totally protect you from sun damage). <span style="background-color: white;">FYI - Sunscreens labeled "water resistant" are required to maintain their SPF level after 40 minutes of water immersion. "Very water resistant" products maintain their SPF level for 80 minutes. I didn't know this before and thought that the "very" was just a name!</span></li>
<li>in order to be labeled "broad spectrum," products must protect against both UVA and UVB rays</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
UVA and UVB rays differ in their length. UVA rays, which are longer and penetrate deeper into the skin, are the cancer-causing and DNA/collagen-damaging rays. UVA rays cause wrinkles by damaging the dermis layer - most importantly, the fibroblasts that produce the collagen and elastin, which is the elastic tissue that gives skin its elasticity. When you pull it or push it, your skin should bounce right back. Damages to the elastin fibers causes sagging, winkles and aging. Damage done is permanent; the fibroblasts do not regenerate, and thus will not be replacing the collagen/elastin. In contrast, UVB rays are the burning rays that cause sun burn and alter skin color. Melanin is produced by cells located in the basal layer of the epidermis (sitting above the dermis). Genetics determine the amount of melanin activated - once skin is exposed to UV rays, melanin is produced and is pushed to the top layer of your skin to help absorb and block UV rays. Fair skinned people produces pheomelanin (red to yellow color cells, which is why fair people turn PINK or become tanned), whereas dark-colored skin produces eumelanin, which is dark brown/black pigment. <span style="background-color: white;">Another common misconception is that darker skin tones do not need sun screen. Well - you will not turn that much darker because increased amounts of eumelanin is not readily visible, but it doesn't mean that the UVA rays did not damage your DNA & collagen & elastin!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In esthetics, most clients come in to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. Let me tell you...the sun exacerbates all three of the above. The sun can cause redness & inflammation (erythma) to acneic skin, and furthermore, your skin will pump melanin to protect itself as it is more vulnerable when there is a breakout, and that will leave you with a acne scar. If you are not concerned about acne, hyperpigmentation, or youthful appearances, it's still a good idea to wear sun screen because it is good for your health!! You would not smoke, therefore...you should wear sun screen! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SPF refers to the Sun Protection Factor and how much longer you can stay under the sun compared to with no sun protection. An SPF 15 sunscreen protects against about 93% of UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks about 96.9% of UVB rays. Notice that doubling the SPF number does not double the protection. Dermatologists generally recommend SPF 30 with broad spectrum protection.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The label "SPF" only refers to protection against UVB rays. In the U.S., labels only specify SPF. In Asia, sunscreen labels also contain PA measures (PA+++ being the best protecting against UVA rays and PA+ being less protection). It'd be great if we could get this labeling system going in the U.S., in addition to the new law requiring all sunscreen to meet broad spectrum protection!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How should you go about selecting sunscreens? There are two types of active sunscreen ingredients: those that provide <b>physical</b> protection and <b>chemical</b> protection. The main difference between the two is that physical sunscreens <i>reflect</i> UV rays, while chemical protection chemically <i>absorbs </i>UV rays. Physical sunscreens work immediately upon application, whereas chemical protection needs 15 to 30 minutes to become effective (depending on the quality). </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A very important thing to do is to check the sunscreen you are currently using -- check this chart from <a href="http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/doc/sunscreen.pdf">this EPA article</a> to see if your product has both physical and chemical protection. It's good to have at least one of each! If your current sunscreen meets the requirements, GREAT! If not, it may be time to look into investing in a great sunscreen. </div>

<br />
The above table is from EPA's article about sun and skin. Check it out: <span style="background-color: white;">http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/doc/sunscreen.pdf</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">During your annual check up with your physician, ask about any abnormal growths and dark spots that you've noticed and ask your doctor if you should get it checked out by the dermatologists. I've encountered a client who was in her late 20s that had squamous cell carcinoma removed on their nose!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After initial application in the morning, you can use powder sunscreens or makeup with SPF during the day for continuous protection against sun damage. Keep in mind, though, that many of these contain light-reflective metallic SPF (like Zinc and Titanium dioxide). These metallic ingredients reflect light and might cause the skin to appear somewhat whitish or super-shiny, which may also alter your skin color in flash photography. This is totally fine for everyday, but I'd avoid products with SPF for special occasions for this reason. The metals also make sunscreen harder to spread across your face - think of the white pasty look and the stickiness you experience! <span style="background-color: white;">The ancient Greeks used to bathe in olive oil and then dust their bodies with fine sand in order to protect themselves from the sun. That sounds uncomfortable! </span><span style="background-color: white;">Fortunately, many sunscreens on the market today have been refined and grinds the metals micro-fine and manufactured with excellent spreadability and 0 stickiness! </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Even if you don't see the sun (rainy day, cold winter day), or if you're staying at home on your day off, you still need to wear sunscreen. Light from ambient or fluorescent lighting, and light through a window all still contain harmful rays. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I use myself is PCA's Weightless Protection SPF 45 for my oily skin type. It's incredibly light and smooth because there's Vitamin E in it, which is a great emollient and antioxidant. It also contains caffeine, which is also an antioxidant but additionally kills damaged skin cells that may turn into skin cancer. Another one of my favorite sunscreens is Perfecting Protection SPF 30 from PCA skin. It contains Licorice Root Extract that not only reduces hyperpigmentation but also suppresses the pigment from forming after being exposed to the sun.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Even with great sun screen, if you are out in the sun for long hours (especially between 10-4:00pm), the effects of sun damage can still be very significant. My husband looked great (and younger) before he began playing golf....He aged significantly since he started. He gets a little sad when I mention this, but alas, it is true. People would not have guessed his age, but ever since his golf habits started, he actually looks his age - when I touch his face, I immediately notice the loss in elastin and the formulation of fine lines where it previously did not exist. It's already a little late, but I've been bugging him to use more serums and stuff. The moral of the story is...by the time you notice the wrinkles, it's already LATE. If you are worried about premature aging/photo damage, wearing sun screen is almost half the battle! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">For the gentlemen reading this, wearing sunscreen does not male you less manly, but enhances your attractiveness in every way. If you are 24 and look 40, it really isn't more manly...! </span></div>

Don't forget about your lips (don't want to lose collagen there!), arms, tops of your feet, ears and neck! A good place to look for your sunscreen and lip balm is Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.<br />

Congratulations to Ryan & Emily! Today their gorgeous 'destination' wedding was featured on <a href="http://www.jetfeteblog.com/destination-weddings/helena-destination-wedding">Jetfete</a>! They are such a sweet couple! Carolyn & I had a blast on the morning of, meeting the bridal party and getting them ready. What a group of strong, beautiful, athletic woman! It was kind of inspirational, to see them up in the morning, PERFECTLY ready/prepared for their makeup & hair appointment early in the morning - previous to that already worked out/showered/blow dried their hair, coming into the room with positive energies! :) Carolyn & I really appreciated that! After I had packed up and walked to my car, ready to go, I turned to Carolyn and said: "We are so lucky to have wonderful clients like Emily!!!" Emily was so sweet to also write a <a href="http://emilydoan.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/napa-nuptuals/">blog</a> with a personal message to all her wedding vendors - I was truly touched by it! <br />
<br />
The beautiful images are shot by Annie Gerber who is based in Arizona! It was a funny moment, when the bridal party thought Carolyn was the photographer because they kind of look alike! (beautiful tall and blonde!) Annie had a quiet, joyful and graceful presence in the room while taking photos of the bridal party getting ready! <br />
<br />
Emily is currently in the process of opening up her own bakery in SF! I am looking forward to visiting her new bakery when it opens! ;) I cannot wait! Congratulations again to the beautiful couple!! I hope you enjoy viewing the photos - thanks to Annie for providing them for us!! {Love working with Annie! Please come back to the Bay Area again soon!!!!!!}<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><br />
