First of all, What is HD makeup?
High-def cameras expose any crease, wrinkle, or blemish. But thick, unnatural pancake makeup is
also obvious through an HD lens.
To avoid the cakey texture of standard TV makeup, high-definition makeups are sheerer while still hiding uneven skin texture and other un-telegenic flaws, You can see the skin through the makeup, but the makeup creates a softer focus.
In other words, these cosmetics simultaneously camouflage imperfections, cover blemishes, and still manage to appear invisible. The pigments and formulas are designed to blend seamlessly with the skin.
What’s in HD makeup?
The main difference is light-scattering ingredients. The reflective particles are what make the foundation really flattering.
Diffusing light creates an illusion of an even finish so you can’t detect the flaws underneath -- like airbrushing for your skin. Cosmetics with an HD label will likely contain one of the following: mica, silicone, crystals, or quartz. These particles sit on top of the skin and help to scatter light in subtle ways.
The powders are often milled to a fine consistency to help avoid detection by the cameras. Mineral pigments in a micronized texture are often present as well because they don’t settle into pores.
Some formulas may contain mattifying agents to prevent shine in oilier complexions and avoid glare. So foundations are usually oil-free.
HD makeup is often made to moisturize because makeup can settle into cracks and creases of dry skin. The hydration also plumps up dry skin to make wrinkles and lines less noticeable.
How is HD wedding makeup different than everyday makeup application?
Wedding day makeup is a mix between everyday and evening makeup if we are talking about style and colors. It also depends on the bride and what she is going for. Time, light, location and personality also play a role in the makeup application process as well. HD technology makeup is the only way to go when it comes to you're wedding day.
How far in advance do you recommend a preview, if any?
Some brides come to us on a budget or don't have time for a preview, which is fine with us, Although I think a preview is important to do long before a bride walks down the aisle Most book us as soon as they get the ring! During the trial I assess the bride's color, face shape, skin type and features. I play around with different colors until we achieve 'the look'. Then I record all of the products into my database so we both know exactly what we will be using on the wedding day. Above all I want to make sure the bride is confident and beautiful!
How long does the bridal appointment take?
The consultation prior to you're wedding for your hair and makeup will take approximately 1 to 2 hours. Hair and makeup on you're wedding day will take about two hours. However, we suggest booking your appointment far enough in advance that you leave yourself plenty of time to relax, take photos, and enjoy your special day before the ceremony!
What should the bride do to prepare for her hair or makeup consultation for her wedding?
We recommend finding some images of hair and makeup for reference for your look to show your stylist before they arrive. Don’t forget to show your stylist your dress, if possible, too! If you would like the stylist to use hair accessories for your look, please have those purchased and ready for use before your consultation.
Will the bride have the same stylist on her wedding day as she does for her consultation?
Yes, before we confirm her wedding day with a (link hidden) stylist, we will ensure they will also be available to accommodate your consultation date.
Do brides generally wear false eyelashes?
Yes, most brides prefer to have them applied because I use individual-sometimes strips. A few lashes can make the biggest difference in opening up the eyes. Human hair false lashes look so natural — no one would know they aren't your own!
What specific product line do you use?
I swear by Make Up For Ever and most of my artists use similar HD technology makeup as well, although we use many other brands including Chanel, Dior and Lancomé.
How do you make the makeup last all day and night?
I use HD quality makeup and its all water, cry and sweat-proof Also applying the makeup in generous layers is key. Prepping the face, using a good primer and then setting the makeup with powder and spray.
So we hear you specialize in "destination weddings" what exactly does that entail?
Yes, I do wedding travel for my VIP clients and love it! Some brides dream of a beach wedding on the coast of Spain so they bring me along knowing I am very experienced and preffered. My job as a makeup and hair artist for a wedding goes way beyond the makeup, for example; last year I was using pliers to fix the clasp on the brides' dress right before she walked down the aisle. It helps to have a knowledgable friend by your side to help with all the small (but very big) last minute details.

Rose M., Seattle
"Cassandra has the aesthetic eye necessary in order to thrive in the business of makeup art and design. She provides a wide spectrum of makeup services catered to each individual. For me, she did a more classic glamour look, and I really appreciated her eye for detail, and gentle catering nature. Highly recommend for brides mades and weddings!"
Stacie T., Seattle
"This review is coming from the perspective of a professional makeup artist who worked with Cassandra. I've seen Cassandra's work and name pop up everywhere in Seattle & was attracted to the diversity of her portfolio- clean beauty, creative beauty, male grooming, and many ethnicities which is sadly not the norm with Seattle artists. Anyhow I love to collaborate with other artists to support their projects and observe their style for personal growth.
What I witnessed working with Cassandra & her assistant Celia at an event was excellent consultations, fast work, and personal accents in the makeup that make it gorgeous yet one of a kind. It was very inspiring, the models were ecstatic, great attention to the overall styling, and the hair/makeup was incredibly complimenting without being over the top. I look forward to working with Cassandra again & highly recommend her as one of the best & most talented in Seattle."
Lisa W., Seattle

HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrity level stylist!"
Esther B., Portland
"I felt amazing, thank you for my makeover for my runway show, Cassandra!"

"Cassandra is a great artist. She's been in the game a long time and my favorite part of her craft is How she collects and uses Chanel and Makeup For Ever products ( which are the best! She's always surprising me with her accessory collection too.
