Xiao you 2009

With Xiao you, she came in with very thin hair, so I added some hair extensions to give her more volume which, in addition to adjusting the amount of eyeliner applied to her eyes, gives her a more playful look.



Removing the hair extensions, styling her hair up like this gives her a more high-fashion look, very modern and edgy but still feminine.

Julie 2009

Julie's face is quite short so naturally gives off a very cute look, so I decided to build on that by adding a large ribbon, and using darker toned blushers to shape her face. The result as you can see is a very adorable looking bride


To change her naturally cute look for the second set, I braided her hair to give her a more mature hairdo, and changed her make up slightly to ultimately end up with a more refined look.

Yi Jie 2009

With Yi Jie, I used a simple twisted bun that suits perfectly with a veil and a tiara, giving her an elegant, formal "English" style.



When the bun comes off, adding hair extensions to give the illusion of having long, natural curls gives a more casual, relaxed feel.

Wen Xuan 2009

I tried three different styles with Wen Xuan, to show how much difference a change in hairstyle makes. In the first set, incorporating real flowers into the hairstyle makes the bride look much younger.




In the second set, styling the bride's natural hair gives the bride a more classic, stylish look.



Finally in the third set, the bride is sporting a more modern 'punk' styled hairdo, which could also be worn for special occasions and parties.
