Desmond Bridal Makeup: Korean Concept

Here’s a dashing gentleman among the roses, Desmond. His elegant Korean concept styling and strong proficiency in blending the skin color evenly are his competitive advantages. It is easy for the uneven tones (face and neck) to show especially under the unkind camera lighting. Desmond’s bride’s skin tones looks absolutely natural even under the bright camera flashes. The last thing you want is to look too fair or too dark with a different shade on your face compared to the neck down.

Thankfully each makeup artist has his/ her own strengths and expertise to cater for every client’s specialized needs. While the stylist may have gained much knowledge from attending courses/ training and the numerous hands-on experiences, each their own distinctive skill.

Desmond believes that it is completely essential for the bride to look GREAT on and off camera. He focuses on enhancing the eyes intensely but tastefully. The eyes makeup should be done conforming to the event’s atmosphere and state of lighting. For instance he would give the pair of eyes a dark brown hue for the morning session and a more smoky effect for the night event. An over-the-top look will only overpower the groom, making the bride stand out in an uncomfortable way. Therefore, to make sure the makeup does not go overboard, he colors the lips lightly and applies moderate blush. As a result the overall look is natural and pleasing with emphasis on the peepers – they glow with energy. All his clients praised his natural and not overly done results. Read more reviews below.

His signature hair style is the most sought after Korean concept hair. Soft curls, the modern loose braids, classic low tie-up, cute hair with long bangs fixed to the side. Desmond realizes the importance of hair on the entire appearance and for the hair to be “simple and nice”. I am particularly intrigued by the way he creates the superstar look out of a very simple, classic hair-do and neutral shades.

The challenges of bridal makeup come from the need to study the bride’s features and think of the best makeup and hair for her. Let’s face it, not everyone look like a superstar. The makeup artist would have to deal with issues such as pimples, skin blemishes, dis-proportionate eyes sizes, facial shape which is too round and what not. Desmond adjusts the way he applies the cosmetics to the specific condition. For example, over-apply of makeup on someone with chubby face is a no-no. His technique is to downplay the weakness by contouring the face to create an illusion of depth. So it will look sharper and less wide. Another slimming trick is to add more volume to the hair. For a woman with nice features and slim figure for example, he would heat things up by designing a celebrity glamor look to go with more fashionable hairdo for her.
