Check out the Spring issue of Brides Magazine Philadelphia to read about my take on achieving the sultry and oft-requested Kim Kardashian visage. Not suprisingly, it’s my raven-haired brides who hope to channel this look. Deep warm browns, pink cheeks, nude lips and tons (and I mean “tons”) of lashes….

Talking Wedding Make-up on “What’s up with Missy”
Here’s a recording of the interview I did with Missy Stein that aired on 5/5/10, on her AM radio show “What’s Up with Missy.” The staff at the station were great fun, and a good time was had by all…

What’s up with Béke? Ask am1340 WHAT Radio’s Missy!
Yesterday I taped an interview with Missy Stein, host of “What’s up with Missy” on am1340 WHAT radio. The interview will air on Wednesday, May 5th, at 9:00 a.m., as part of the show’s Wedding Week series. Also featured will be dynamic duo wedding experts Beka Rendell and Kimberly Fink of Innove Events, and dear friend Dr. Miriam Franco, who will be talking about her Stressfree Bride guided imagery CD.
Missy is a sparkling and witty radio personality – she is also passionate about featuring the work and accomplishments of some of our area’s most intriguing women (gotta love her that … solidarity, sister …). Check out her show on am1340 WHAT every morning at 9:00 a.m. Thanks so much to Missy and crew!
Beautiful Bride: Kate Jackson
Every now and then, I meet a bride whose fiancé is what I call “non-compliant,” that is, make-up “unfriendly.”
This is a challenge I always look forward to, because it’s my firm belief that most men who don’t like make-up react badly because the make-up is done badly, as in too much, not blended, wrong colors/textures, etc.
The day that I met Kate Jackson for her trial run, her intended, Ramsey, was not outright hostile, but he made it quite clear that I was about to disfigure his gorgeous bride-to-be. I did soft, believable make-up on the perfectly-complected Kate, made it out of there in one piece, and looked forward to seeing them both again on August 22nd.
The wedding preparations took place at Kate’s parent’s home (mom Dianne is a great lady, and participated in my recent “Make-up for Mature Women” workshop at DuPortail House in Chesterbrook). Even though the power went off at one point (fortunately, I’m not a hairstylist), everyone was ready on time.
In spite of the initial skepticism, I received this lovely note from Kate:
“We had such a fantastic evening, and are so grateful for the amazing make-up you did for us – me, my maid of honor, mother of the bride and mother of the groom . We were all so pleased with the way we looked both in person and in the photos. I’m sure you remember from the make-up trial how much my husband, Ramsey, disliked me wearing make-up. Well, on the wedding day right after we saw each other for the first time, Ramsey told me ‘I can’t believe I’m saying this, but your make-up looks really good!’ You officially won over your harshest critic!”
Ah, victory is sweet…and best wishes to this even sweeter couple!
