Chandre is a very sentimental type of person but quirky. She likes classic things which are timeless but wanted hints of current fashions. Therefor Moi Styling created the following mood board for her:
Sybil and Rozanne from Moi styling:
We created a purple, pink and charcoal wedding style theme. Very classic but with hints of vintage decor. We liked the idea of combining different types of flowers within the purple and pink colour scheme. For her decor we suggested having crystal and silver cutlery and crockery. We suggested that the groom should wear a charcoal or black suit with a purple tie to complement the colour scheme. For her bridesmaids she wanted a colour which they could wear again and not be restricted. We suggested satin charcoal dresses. This colour suits any skin tone and is a neutral colour which they could wear again.
To portray the quirkiness within Chandre's wedding style we suggested to her that she should wear a purple shoe. She loved the idea of a shoe with colour because this meant that she could wear it again after the wedding.
We took Chandre for a fitting to Elizabeth's studio in Durbanville. According to her body type we wanted her to wear a strapless dress with detail on the bodice to emphasize her bust. We then liked the idea of adding a purple sash to the dress to reflect her colour scheme and add a brooch to that to reflect the vintage theme of the wedding. We selected an off white dress with a gold undertone to complement her skin tone.
She looked amazing!!
On the day of the show her hair and make up was done by Lori Mauerberrger from The Beautybulletin.com and Carla Abrahams.
Carla Abrahams shares her makeup tips:
"On Chandre I applied a smokey eye which is one my favorite looks for day or night. A smouldering smokey eye really adds drama and intensity to eye.Otherwise, smoky eyes are always fabulous!
Layering is also very much on trend with the smoky eye.So I have l used Benefit creaseless long lasting cream eyeshadow/liner in stilletto as a base which can be used on its own or underneath a eyeshadow for more of a dramatic smoky look.I applied “ I cannes and I will” eyeshdow from Benefit on top to bring the more of the plum tones forward. To accentuate the eye even more I used Benefit Smokin eyes kit which is complete kit with nude lip that will give eyes that sexy smokey look everyone is after in the outer corner of eye to give the look more depth and smoulder.Then I added waterproof black liner with smudger brush to finish off the smokey look.
If you choose to go dark on the eyes then wear a softer lip as to have your eyes as the focus.Vice versa goes for the lip.Smokin eyes & nude lip what a combo.You dont want to stop traffic by wearing to much you want to reverse it by adding drama to one feature.
I chose Chandre's look because her colouring of her mood board was vintage with shades of plum.Also Chandre loves a smokey eye and has great eyes to pull off a smokey look.(her eye are green which really complimented her colouring of wedding).She is also wearing a birdcage veil which is so chic and I wanted to draw attention to eyes .
I used You rebel tint foundation for a radient look to the skin, finished off with 10 from Benefit which is a duo of satiny pink highlighter and contouring bronzing powder together in one .Giving Chadre a sexy sweep in a box.I finished the lip with didnt hear it from me gloss/foxy lady /im with the band and posh lip liner."
Lori Mauerberger from the Beautybulletin.com shares her hair secrets:
"On Chandre, I applied to the 4 step process from ghd. I quickly want to share with you the 4 step process of ghd as this how I prepped Chandre’s hair.
4 Step process :
1) Cleanse and nourish
2) Protect
3) Create and style
4) Finish the look
She washed her hair the night before with the cleansing shampoo which is fabulous as it really cleanses and nourishes your hair beautifully, especially if you suffer from oily hair . I then applied the ghd thermal protector hair spray which is all about PROTECTION, Think HEAT... and the Song “ THE HEAT IS ON” .. now with this spray you apply either to wet hair or dry hair , Once her hair was blow dried, I applied my Creations Spray and began my ghd curls which I will teach in our next article . I have not done the 4th step which is the finished products ( hair spray and gloss ) as I will complete that later.
What I will be sharing with you is how to create that soft fringe in front like Charlize Theron on Chandre.
Take your fringe and create a triangle section using a tail comb. The section must be taken from your side parting of your fringe, not your middle parting.
You then divide your fringe section into 4 smaller triange sections. I have already applied the thermal spray when I blow dried her hair. No I am going to use the creations spray. Remember to spray.. “ From a distance” Sing it!
Work the product in. Take your first section and create your curl. Once you have done your curl, clip it with a pin curl clip and let it set.Repeat and let it set until its cooled down.I am then going to curl the rest quickly around the crown area. Now, once the hair has cooled down, take out the clips and you will see there is immediately volume and a softness infront. I will now clip it into the bun to give that soft feel. Finish off with a bit of hair spray and shine spray.
I finished off adding the bird cage veil, you can see now how the whole hair style compliments her look, her face shape. Dress etc.. You can see how the curls really help to bring out her blonde highlights. Also, it shows off her neck area in a very sexy way and compliments her dress and style beautifully" .
And this is Chandre transformation...........
