Bird Cage on a Wire Shoot by Justin Marantz: A Reflection on Fashion and Beauty

The cage veil has been a popular accessory for some time.  Our vision was to style a shoot that showed brides the next iteration of this trend.  We enlisted the talent of in WHITE member and top beauty expert, Jennie Fresa, to take the looks to the next level!  In addition to our fashion commentary, Jennie has provided her inspiration for each look and how she achieved it. Fashion: This romantic veil by Haute Bride still provides the elegant effect over the face, but is a little softer with the subtle silk tulle vs. the open weave of a traditional cage veil.  We think that the oversized flower with brooch detail is just dreamy!  Gown by Modern Trousseau, Earrings by Maria Elena Beauty: Sultry Vintage Belle; makeup by maureen sullivan of jennie fresa For this smoldering beauty I gave Stephanie a deep smokey eye with rich brown tones such as Twig and our new Noir Gel Pencil Eye Liner.  Her skin is porcelain smooth with our Liquid Mineral Matte Foundation and her look is completed with the Garnet lip liner and Bordeaux lipstick.  This striking look is great for brides looking for a little drama (in their makeup anyway). Fashion: The cage veil selected for this look is by LA designer, Bijou Van Ness.  The 60âs inspired bow and whimsical feather detail take this classic cage veil to a new level.   Gown by Amy Kuschel, Earrings by Maria Elena Beauty: Pure & Simple, makeup by jennie fresa  Warm and feminine, this look is for the natural bride.  To create this look, I used peach topaz and bronze shadows on the lip with a delicate chocolate brown liner.  Skin is smoothed with a touch of concealer where needed and a light dusting of powder.  Shades of tawny and apricot on the cheeks and nectar gloss complete the look. Fashion: For this uber-feminine look, we selected a feather flower and tulle headpiece by Blush for Kristina Eaton.  We love the incorporation of tulle in the headpiece for softness. The tulle does not always have to cover the face to achieve a dramatic effect. Gown by David Feilden, Earrings by Maria Elena Beauty: Ladylike; makeup by jennie fresa For a modern-classic bride who wants to channel her inner Grace Kelly.  This style of makeup is polished and pretty with the right amount of impact in just the right places.  I used a sheer lilac shadow all over the lid, a pop of Rose blush on the apples of the cheeks and Temptress Red on her lips.  A few individual lashes finish the look. Fashion: We had fun combining the modernity of this sophisticated one shoulder Amsale gown with the classic sensibility of the pillbox hat by Bijou Van Ness.  It is perfectly acceptable to mix looks in this way, especially if they are reflective of your personal style!  Gown by Amsale, Jewelry by Maria Elena Beauty: Miss 60's; makeup by maureen sullivan of jennie fresa In this look I gave our model a swept out 60's inspired eye liner, super smooth skin with the coveted airbrush machine, and a soft nude lip using Bare liner and Undressed Lipstick.  She has just enough attention on her eyes for them to stand out without looking overly made up and the natural lip balances the look for a soft, sophisticated, and timeless beauty.  A Retro look with a modern take. Fashion: We let the hair be the accessory in this look.  Terri Coon of Timothy Pamment Salon was channeling the 1940âs when she created this masterpiece!  We love the volume of the hair with the ruffle neckline of this sassy gown! Gown by Amsale, Earrings by Maria Elena Beauty: Old Hollywood; makeup by jennie fresa Elegant yet bold.  Strong brows make a statement and are balanced with simplistic eyes.  Bare bisque shadow on the lip with no mascara or liner.  A velvety skin is achieved with a mineral matte foundation and powder.  Cheeks are contoured with Adobe blush and a hint of bronzer.  The striking lip is Merlot and Casablanca lipstick mixed. Fashion: By far our favorite look of the day!  We went for Old Hollywood Glam all the way!  The cage veil became an extension of the stunning hair style so that together they created a beautiful look.  The pop of black in the cage veil  made this shot very dramatic.  Gown by Amsale, Earrings by Haute Bride Beauty: Berry Beautiful; makeup by maureen sullivan of jennie fresa A flush of Hush Pink on the cheeks, a dusting of charm eye shadow on the lids and a burst of berry-like color on the lips create a rosey disposition for this blushing beauty.  This soft, fresh face is great for brides who like a little more color in their look.  Sure to put a spring in her step and a smile on her flawless (thanks to the Mineral Sheer Tint) face. Fashion: This disk veil by A Couture provides a dramatic look with a vintage flare. The unique material of the headpiece still has a sheer effect, but with a bit more structure.  We love this architectural alternative to the classic cage.  Gown by Amy Kuschel.
