Bridal Spotlight: Ashton McQueen

By | Makeup, On Location, Photography, Prép Beauty Parlour, Weddings

On Saturday, August 8th 2015, Ashton McQueen gathered with her friends and family at the Burnaby Mountain Rose Garden View More: http://ashley-durance-photo.pass.us/ashton-and-zachto celebrate the joining of 2 beautiful souls and the beginning of a blissful and exciting marriage. Ashton wed long time boyfriend, Port Coquitlam realtor Zach Pugh.

The pair are madly in love. Ashton has always had a fancy for Zach, and thought he was extremely attractive long before they started dating. When they met, their connection was instant and the two have been inseparable ever since. For the past 7 years, they’ve travelled the world together, while keeping their Port Coquitlam condo a home with their 2 cats.

Ashton chose some of Préps best artists to pamper her on her special day, and even had one of our master eyelash technicians, Alisha, as one of her bridesmaids! Ashton and Alisha have been besties for ever. The bridesmaids wore one shoulder soft pink tea length dresses with a flirty twist in the front. The light colour contrasted nicely with their off-white bouquets.
View More: http://ashley-durance-photo.pass.us/ashton-and-zachAshtons sophisticated and intricate bridal updo was carefully crafted by beauty team member Jenn. Her dramatic and bronzed bridal makeup was done by Mika, who created amazing depth for her chocolate brown eyes while softening Ashtons features and finished with strip lashes for an extra pop! The look was tied together beautifully with Ashtons lace veil.

Ashton chose a gorgeous classic white form fitting off-the-shoulder gown from La Sposa Bridal in New Westminister. The all over lace added a touch of vintage, and harmonized perfectly with the sweeping train that lightly trailed from behind her. She truly was a vision in white!

The rose garden was the perfect backdrop for Ashton and Zachs ceremony. Their wedding photos, shot by Vancouver Photographer Ashley Durance, were brought to life with the vibrant colours of the garden and the pairs obvious chemistry. Their reception was held the the SFU Diamond Alumni Center, where guests enjoyed good food and music while celebrating the couple.

Engaged: Lianne & Robert

By | Makeup, On Location, Photography, Prép Beauty Parlour, Weddings

Lianne was Prép Beauty Parlours first official makeup job & first Bride of 2016! She came in bright and early on January 2nd, her bright blue eyes shining in anticipation of her Bridal Makeup Trial. It was a sunny and sleepy January morning; perfect for Liannes engagement photo session later that day.

Lianne Vroom #8

 

Liannes bridal trial makeup was done by Préps beauty team member Crystal. Crystal started the appointment by going over different ideas looks with Lianne and discussing Liannes vision. Crystal prépped Lianes already glowing skin with some of *Éminences’ Red Current Mattifying Mist, which hydrates and mattifies the skin while providing nutrients and anti-aging benefits. Crystal also used cosmetic brand *Youngblood’s Mineral Primer to create a smooth canvas for the makeup.

Lianne Vroom #4
This gorgeous bride-to-be went for a more natural, subtle look instead of the more popular dramatic bridal look. Soft bronzes and neutrals warmed Liannes pale undertones while a her baby blues were played up with a bold winged eyeliner. A touch of soft pink flushed Liannes cheeks and a peachier shade was swept over her lips for a well rounded and truly stunning finish. Paired with her loose waves and side swept part, Liannes final look was sophisticated, slightly angelic, and oh so sexy.

Lianne Vroom #1

Lianne is marrying fiancé Robert in late August. Their ceremony is set to be held at Vancouvers Holy Rosary Cathedral, with the reception following after at VanDusen Botanical Garden. Keep an eye out for a blog on their wedding this summer!! Heres a sample of their engagment photos, shot in downtown Vancouver in Gastown by Vancouver based photographer Edward Lai.

The NEW Blotterazzi by BeautyBlender Has Arrived!

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

DYCN7iC-ghM

When the Beauty Blender hit the market a couple of years ago, it was an immediate hit and became a makeup kit essential. Today, with the craze and obsession of “contouring”, not owning a Beauty Blender is soo, like, what are you even doing with your life?!! Here at Prép Beauty Parlour, not only do we carry multiple packages and variations of this nifty little tool, we also have the newest addition to the Beauty Blender family. World, meet the Blotterazi!!

We all know that even the best foundation can’t always fight the dreaded oily sheen that skin can sometimes get. Hundreds of dollars are wasted each year buying single use oil blotting papers that get thrown out without a second thought. Thats where Beauty Blender has scored yet again, with the reusable, washable, every nook-and-cranny fitting Blotterazzi. This awesome holy grail product comes in the classic Beauty Blender hot pink, and in each (ventilated for hygienic purposes- awesome!) egg-shaped mirrored compact comes two blotters, that are shaped like an egg to fit all contours of the face and have a plastic sheet to separate them to stop the spread of bacteria from each other. The compact is small and easy to keep in your purse for all day oil protection. It also comes with a packet of liquid Blendercleanser to make washing a breeze! The Blotterazzi is designed to absorb oil without disturbing your makeup or irritating the skin (use dry), and with the super plush, light sponge, whats not to love?

Retailing at Prép for just $30, a perfect investment for yourself (save money of blotting papers) or an even better stocking stuffer for the makeup lover on your list. Why not check out some of the other awesome Beauty Blender products we carry while your at it?
