Helene - Hermosa Beach

The best stories begin with a recommendation. Helen came to me through a former colleague. And from that first contact, I knew this experience was about more than just makeup: it was about trust, connection, and knowing how to read between the lines.

 

Helen didn't have time for a makeup trial. We arranged a video call, and in that virtual space, I was able to capture crucial aspects of her look: she was a little nervous, had never had her makeup done professionally before, and wanted to feel authentic, without losing her essence.

 

Listen to Create

During our conversation, Helen was clear about one thing: she wanted a style that represented her, without feeling disguised. Her request for an updo wasn't just aesthetic; she wanted freshness, comfort, and, above all, a way to highlight the back of her dress. These details, which often go unnoticed, are what, as a professional wedding makeup artist in Costa Rica, I must identify and translate into a personalized design.

 

We discussed shades of pink to enhance her eyes. At first, I sensed her hesitation, perhaps fearing a striking result. But I knew that, with the right techniques, we would achieve natural, heat-resistant bridal makeup in Guanacaste that would illuminate her eyes without stealing the spotlight from her natural look.

 

Connection Beyond the Brush

On the wedding day, Helen was patient, sweet, and trusting. Thanks to that connection, we achieved a look that made her feel confident, beautiful, and completely herself. This type of work reminds me that you don't always need physical proof when you listen, empathize, and prepare.

 

Thank you, Helen, for trusting me. Being your wedding makeup artist for destination weddings in Costa Rica was an honor, but above all, an experience of mutual respect and genuine beauty.
