HAIR AND MAKEUP FOR THE WEDDING DAY

hi jaime I just had a trial w/ Louisa Agate. she is the one that does the airbrushing makeup that was in newsday. I loved it. I did it on the day of my engagment photo session, so i haven't seen the pic's yet. but i was very happy w/ the way I looked and my makeup never came off and never smudged. I too am getting married in the fall and she is coming to my home. I will be doing a trial with patti, from the same place. They are in european image salon. The number is 516-364-3736. ask to speak to Tracy. She handles all the hair and makeup bookings and she can answer all your questions. Good luck!

Isn't it ironic...

I just realized that the assistant Tracey of European Image is Tracey74 who posts rave reviews about Louisa Agate constantly! Funny isn't it?

Isn`t it ironic...

Do these people really think they are fooling us? If you do a search on Tracey74 posts and the one above you`ll notice she basically words each post identically just under different names. Girls, ya think she gets a commission on the brides she brings in? HMMMM?? Do us all a favor a take your soliciting to the vendor board!

Isn`t it ironic...

i am really interested in booking a trial w/ louisa, based on the positive feedback posted by tracey. i should have put 2 and 2 together when i called to inquire about prices and she said to ask for tracey when i call back to book the appointment. i wonder if louisa asked her to post those messages. seems to me that if she is so well-know and popular among the "stars" she wouldn`t need to solicit business on this board. that`s why i am so weary of everyone, but the "regulars" on this board. don`t know who you can trust!

An idea for LIWeddings.

Which brings up an interesting idea for LIWeddings... Can they implement some sort of a reputation system? Basically give us the chance to rate peoples responses to help newer folks distinguish who is credible or not...

Isn`t it ironic...

Well, I have to admit I wasn't so savvy to put 2 and 2 together. Although, I have to say Tracey 74 always did annoy me and seemed very cocky in her postings. Anyway, I can assure you I am a real Bride. I am getting married November 3rd. I did try Both Patti and Louisa. I booked them both. I was more than pleased with The airbrushing. I took photos when I was done and my skin truly looks awesome. Like you were born with great skin. As for hair, we only did one trial. I am not sure if that style I am going with , but I do believe that Patti will do a great job as well. I have to say, of all the important decisions I have had to make planning my wedding. This was most important to me. Not to sound at all conceited, I have always spent a lot of $ on my hair and my cosmetics. I have my hair done in one of the finest NY salons ( have tried others, when I moved to LI). It was most important to me and to all of you what you look like on your most special day. Even though Tracy may have been shady, you can take my word on it Louisa and Patti are very respectful and professional.

Isn`t it ironic...

read my post on top -Eurpoean Image Salon - as quoted in Newsday. please respond, hopefully we can discourage others from soliciting business on this board (wishful thinking, but maybe.)

Isn`t it ironic...

I wonder if Louisa and Patti know that Tracy is doing this. It would be a shame if some brides could miss out using a very talented make up artist because of her stupid assistant.

Isn`t it ironic...

thanks for the advise! i am booking for my friend and paying for her. we will probably do the trial anyway. this really annoys me though. does the makeup feel heavy on your face? she doesn't wear much makeup and doesn't want to look like a clown or feel like she she is wearing a caked-on mask. the way i look at it is, it's worth a try. this is a once in a lifetime event and you want to look your absoulte best, it's pricey but hopefully worth the extra $$$.

Isn`t it ironic...

Just out of curiosity, why aren't you using the salon you go to regularly?

Airbrushed Makeup???

I've never heard of airbrushed makeup until now. How does it work and does it feel funny? I've only used airbrushes in art school, never on someone's skin. I would think it felt wierd. Tight and dry??? What do you guys think??? Thanks!

My Salon

well, this is actually for my friend whose wedding is this summer. unfortunately my salon only does hair, not makeup and the stylist doesn`t travel. so, in addition to makeup we also have to find someone that does hair. ideally i would like to find someone that is multi-talented (hair/makeup) and travels. i am doing the research for her because she lives upstate and i am going to pay as a part of the wedding gift.

Isn`t it ironic...

The makeup feels really light, it doesn't feel heavy at all. The application actually feels very cool. I wear my make up very natural as well In pictures I have to say it looked awesome. The idea of looking that put together at the end of a very long day is really what sold me. I am sure there are many great make up artists out there, but none can make your make up stay on perfectly for the whole evening without a touch up. Just as a test, when I went to my sisters (didn't want him to see me) I wiped my face on a black t-shirt. It didn't come off. It was very kool. I know I sound like a commercial, I don't mean too. Try it and let me know. Curious what other "real" brides think.

Isn`t it ironic...

I go to Frederic Fekkai in the city regularly. I am getting married on LI. I agreed with my mom and it will just make for a smoother day if we don't have to deal with traffic to and from Manhattan and any other mishaps that my happen.

Isn`t it ironic... Wendy

Wendy, do they airbrush all the makeup, or just the foundation??? How do you wash it off?

Isn`t it ironic... Wendy

OK-Here's the deal. She puts on a moisturizing mist on your face. Then she sprays on the foundation. She then sprays on the blush. She used a sponge to blend the blush. She then sprays your eyes. She did use some regular eyeshadow as well. She used a real eyeliner, real mascara and real listick. She also uses a little regular translucent powder to set everything. As for washing it off, it is makeup, it's just applied differently. Simple soap and water did it for me. If you do it let me know what you think. Good Luck.

How much is a trial?

Question for Wendy

Wendy, I`m interested in having the trial. My main concern is enough coverage. Would the airbrushing cover up imperfections like acne scars? Or is it too light on the face and not enough coverage. Thanks!

I have the same question Maria *NM*

Message for you brides(long)

Ladies, Please allow mw to explain any misinformation you have read. Yes, I do handle Louisa`s bookings,as well as the brides for hair. This is very recent, Up until The newsday article came out. When this came out Louisa got swamped with phone calls. She knew I was interested in the wedding planning/ consulting business so she hired me to handle her bookings. She knows I am very organized and that i will be on top of everything. No, i do not get "kickbacks". I get a paid salary. Not only do I book brides, I handle any questions, i do follow up phone calls, and i confirm appointments. I handle the makeup and hair to avoid confusion with the salons receptionists. this way you are only dealing with one person. Since I am trying to start my own wedding planning/ consulting business. Once I become a planner then "yes" i will get kickbacks from all the vendors i choose to refer brides to . Thats how they make money and get good referrals from vendors.One hand washes the other. But no kickbacks until then. Secondly, this is a website for Brides helping Brides. Since I was a bride last April, i went on this website to share my advice; just as you all do, some of whom are married as well. Also this is a good way to for me to see what vendors the brides like and dislike. You are the best referrals. When I first joined the website, i was not handling these bookings. This has only been a recent comeabout. since the article in newsday came out , Louisa hasn`t been able to handle this on her own, thats where I came in.If you check my old postings you will see that I posted messages for the vendors that i used, but also for advice any brides needed. Most of the brides solicit vendors they like, of course they do. Isn`t this website" brides helping Brides"??? I do apologize for my annoying posts, but please understand that I wouldn`t refer you brides to someone I was not confident in. Louisa is 1 of a million makeup artists in the new york area. But she is the only one that does airbrushed makeup. Actually the other makeup artist that does it is the one that does the "celebrities" and the " friends " cast. Everything that I posted about the makeup was from my own experience when I had the airbrushed makeup done for my own wedding, as well as patti & angela doing my hair and my bridesmaids. Like I stated before, I have posted on this site for other vendors that i liked, some of which i didn`t use, but heard good things about, and even offered advice as well as pictures of the glass carriage i rode to the church in.I am always on this site because it`s part of my researchfor my consulting/ planning services. Obviously if you all love a particular photographer, videographer, or any other vendor that you have more good things to say than bad things. they may be vendors that I might want to do business with in the future. Some brides were raving about other hair and makeup artists, as well as certain vendors. How do we know that they too, arent the vendor themselves?? I`m sure it happens. Once again ladies, I do apologize for my annoying posts as well as soliciting that you may have felt that I have done. I was only trying to offer my advice, as we ALL have done. maybe I took it to the extreme. I enjoy working with brides, for a wedding is a happy occasion. Please don`t hold this against me or Louisa, or Patti for that matter. They have nothing to do with this website. Louisa and Patti are very talented and love what they do and it shows. Sorry this is so long, but I can`t sit back and have people bad mouth me without me explaining myself. Thank you for listening

Tracy 74

What are the in salon prices for the airbrushed make-up for the bride and what is the price for bridal make-up without having it airbrused? Thanks

Message for you brides(long)

Since you now get a paid salary from Louisa, you belong on the Vendor Site--despite the fact that you were recently married. And if you had been using this site all along through your wedding planning, then you would know that this is not the place to solicit business. That is why Vendors Helping Brides was created.

Isn`t it ironic...To Wendy please read

I have been posting here for almost 1 1/2 years and we have the same name. Could you maybe add a last initial to yours so the postings do not get confused. I am getting married 9/23/01. Thanks
