In the Spring I officially quit my full time job to move to Huntsville, Alabama to be with my husband Kyle on military assignment. It was the scariest thing I've ever done to leave a job and established business... but despite the fear and uncertainties, I knew God was calling me toward something new for myself, my marriage and the bridal beauty business we'd created.

I took the Summer off from social media and makeovers to learn how to cook (still a very big work in progress...), make an apartment a home for Kyle, our miniature schnauzer Artie and I, and to reset my priorities in business. I'm not the same girl who started her makeup business right out of college. Running from job to job and a quick Instagram post no longer allows me to serve intentionally to the best of my abilities. I knew there was something more to create - possibly something even more lasting.

My vision to serve women and help them feel beautiful, celebrated and loved is the same, now it's just expanded and refined to better serve you whether you sit in my makeup chair or not.

There will be a stronger focus on the process and heart behind why we do what we do. Not only are we going to celebrate women, but we will do it while intentionally seeking beauty. I think the most special thing about this is we can all attempt to make our lives more beautiful, no matter the circumstances we may find ourselves in. 

I felt uniquely drawn to this new direction, inspired to seek Beauty in 5 specific areas:


          - Beauty in Authenticity
          - Beauty in People
          - Beauty in Faith
          - Beauty in Design
          - Beauty in Self Care


Blog posts, social media reels, behind the scenes and practical tips. Today is the day all of that dreaming and preparation comes to fruition and I can barely contain myself!
It's actually happening and I am thrilled beyond words you're here for it!


​This is the start of a new journey together, one that more authentically and not so perfectly shares my heart and the little moments of beauty I find, not just makeup talk although there will still be plenty of that. Most of all I hope this new content helps you feel the freedom to live authentically yourself!


Whether it's trying out a new mascara, writing in a prayer journal for the first time, taking a moment to make a mocktail or redesign your bedroom, there is splendor and creativity in it all.


Below is a compilation of some of my favorite moments I found beauty this Summer, I can't wait to continue on this new adventure with you!

Seeking beauty with you,

To complement the historic estate and Lauren Fair’s luminous photography style for this editorial, I wanted to create a natural beauty look designed to appear breath-taking in person and translate beautifully onto photos:

• The Signature Lake Como Glow: Utilizing lightweight, hydrating layers to achieve a sun-kissed, lit-from-within complexion that mirrors the soft Italian light.
• Soft, Defined Eyes: Using a warm color palette inspired by the estate's sun-bleached terracotta and dusty antique gold to subtly enhance the eyes while keeping them soft and romantic.
• A Pop of Color: Adding in a bridal lipstick to match the florals will always be one of my favorites touches to make each bride's makeover unique and fresh.

Whether eloping in Europe or planning a wedding in your hometown, your bridal look should be one that ensures you look like your most polished and radiant version of you. Never stuffy, fake or forced.

Years from now when looking back on wedding photos, you'll want to be drawn to the timelessness of your look, the details, and the emotions. It is those little moments that turned "You" into "We". Don't you want to remember how beautiful you felt on that special day?

Here we care about love & legacy, not just makeup. We know that the makeup is only as important as the moment and the feelings that follow.

Warmly,
Jor

It was truly a lovely morning at the Willard Hotel for Anne's wedding day festivities! This wedding was particularly special for me as she was a Redheaded Bride and redheads will always have a special place in my heart!

The morning of, we decided to go in a completely different direction in terms on the makeup application that we did at her trial makeover a few weeks earlier. We went for the luminous skin, extra rosey cheeks and a nude shimmery eye. Just fabulous and the perfect look to highlight her red eyebrows and beautiful smile if you ask me!

I'll leave you here with some on my favorite photos of the day and Anne's kinds words about working together!

until next time,
​Jor
