Feathers & Fancy Lips

There is nothing like a beautiful red lip...if you can pull it off. We see it in magazines. We see the celebrities wearing it on the red carpet. We all dream of doing it but it's just so darn hard to get it right.

Well then, your dreams of feeling as sexy as a vintage pin up girl can come true...Just find Amy, our make-up guru, and you too can rock the red lips for the holidays!

Who is our inspiration for the red lipped look? It's our November bride, Cassandra Deluca. She travelled from Providence to Bristol to be beautified by our team of Leah and Amy.

She was was working it!

Check out this hair ornament...The flower is adorned with fancy feathers to complement the Bridget Bardot look that Leah created for Cassandra. Love the volume and L-O-V-E the accessory!

With shiny long locks like this, it's pretty hard to go wrong on your wedding day.

Amy created this flawless canvas for Cassandra's skin. Don't you love the lined eye paired with the red lip? There is nothing wrong with looking sexy for your wedding (or any other day for that matter!)

Almond shaped eyes look amazing when they are precisely lined with black pencil or liquid liner. One must have a steady hand, otherwise you might look a bit more like you belong on a street corner, not at the end of a church aisle.

We love Smashbox's Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner. This innovative gel-based waterproof liner stays blendable for 60 seconds then dries to a smudge-proof, budge-proof finish that lasts all day. Tears of joy are okay, girls.

Jet Set is perfect for lining the inner rim of the eye or as a stay-put traditional liner. It glides on effortlessly with an arced liner brush.

Don't you hate it when your liner that you so carefully applied in the morning finds its way under your eyes by lunch time? I don't know how this happens. You know...when you don't look in the mirror all day and then think of all the people who saw your raccoon look and didn't tell you. Boy that's the worst.

This liner withstands the New Leaf test. This test is working a 10 hour day...Lots of laughing, talking, sweating (ew!), and eye smudging take place in 10 hours at New Leaf. This liner stays put. REALLY.

We perform this scientific 10 hour New Leaf test for all sorts of things...We have tested shoes. Tall riding boots? PASS. Ballet flats? Fail, fail, and FAIL.

We test hair products, those wrap sweaters (look pretty but do NOT work for hairstylists), lint rollers, stain sticks (Tide to Go works color stain miracles), deodorant, hairdryers, and all sorts of make up (Smashbox Limitless Lipgloss really DOES last all day, because really, who has to time to reapply?), and everything else you can imagine.

You should ask us some time and we can tell you how something really works.

Our sincere thanks to Cassandra and all her girls. You were a hair and make up artist's dream to work with....your look was beautiful and unique, just like you...As always, thanks for choosing New Leaf!
