This Wedding Wednesday I would love to introduce you to a fabulous makeup artist.  I met her while working at Kyoto.  Someone had placed a to go order for Joncee.  ”I thought it was a joke and said, I am not paying for this…I didn’t order it! ”  Soon a very cute girl came in and said her name was Joncey (pronounced the same as my name John see, but spelled with a ‘y’ instead of ‘ee’).  I was floored!  I had never ran into someone with my name before.  We got to know each other through out her visits to Kyoto and being friends on facebook.  Now I am happy to share her makeup talents to you all!  :)

Meet Joncey!

Tell me a little about yourself:

I am an Esthetician at Two Rivers in Eagle and love doing makeup , I have been married for almost 5 years and some of my hobbies are traveling, shopping, Disney , I am a huge Disney fan and can talk for hours about it.

Favorite Quote?

“If you can dream it , you can do it.”  Walt Disney

Tell us a story from your most memorable wedding (does not have to be one you did makeup for).

Just the time I was doing my sisters makeup for her wedding it was so surreal, I will always remember that moment and how much it meant to me.
Why do you like doing Makeup for weddings?

Wedding makeups are my favorite because who doesnt like a good love story and how the couple came about to dedicate their lives to one another. So I feel privledged to be apart of that day.

What inspires you?

Disney has always had a huge impact on my life and has always inspired me to go after my dreams and pursue them and of course have a lil fun along the way. Youv’e gotta enjoy what you do and I do with both of my jobs.
Tell us a little about the work that goes into preparing a bride for her big day?

Makeup should usually be done last after hair and right before putting on the dress. If the bride needs to tan or get facials/ waxing make sure it is done at least 10-14 days prior to the wedding, the skin can react if not use to those services.

Have any planning tips for a bride?

Wedding show expos help out alot with planning, and ask other brides what they would have wished they would have done, I am sure there are brides who will tell you at least 1 or 2 things they would have done differently.
Why is Idaho a great place to get married?

It serves both great locations for outdoor weddings and lots of neat indoor venues so there are plenty of location options and its a small town but somewhat big so in the wedding planning industry everybody knows somebody who can make good reccomendations for your big day.
What should a bride look for in a Makeup Artist?

Organization, Confidence in what she is doing, experience.

Do you provide other services besides Makeup?

I do facials and Waxing as well.

Do you prefer the Bride to come to you, or to go to the Bride, and why?

It doesnt matter , whichever is easier on the bride , normally most artist charge a small fee to come to the bride but it is far less stressful on the bride to have everyone come to her .

How long to you recommend the Bride to plan for Makeup on the big day?

At least 3-6 months in advance, especially if she is getting married during wedding season, things book up fast.

What is your Favorite Wedding day makeup style?

Natural smoky brown eye and light natural pink lip.

Why is it important to hire a makeup artist as apposed to doing your own makeup on the wedding day?

The makeup artist is looking at what is going to be best for photos with the look of your makeup and again it is less stress on the big day if you can’t quite do your own makeup the way you wanted. 
Do you recommend a trial run, and if so, how far in advance should the trial run take place?

YES trial runs are just as important as a rehersal wedding, also when doing trial runs dont book them on a weekend unless the artist is coming to you or has no time limit, it is a trial run so time is going to be very valuable. Trial runs should be booked at least 1 month in advance.

What has been your proudest moment so far?

Getting to do my sister’s wedding makeup was very memorable

What is the Best marriage/relationship advice you have been given?

Never go to bed angry and always have good communication
