Bridal and Senior Makeup Artist Headshots in Wilmington, NC | Seven Makeup + Beauty

July 9, 2019

Molly and I knew each other from our college days at UNCW…but had never actually met in person! We were both new photographers at the time and supported each other online but for some reason had never met –– weird!!!

Recently I reconnected with Molly now that she’s back in North Carolina because she is a GORGEOUS makeup artist. I was looking for additional help for my annual senior spokesmodel shoot and knew Molly would be perfect.

I’m so excited to have her and Eliza Eagles join me and make my girls look even more beautiful than they are!

One of the hardest parts of finding a makeup artist for me is looking for someone who does “natural glam” really, really well.

Most of my seniors and brides still want to look like themselves…only the dolled up version!

Professional cameras are known for washing out makeup so you do have to wear a lot more than you would on a normal day out but you also want to make sure that you’re not over-doing it on your features.

Molly is one of the BEST at that, which is why I’m super excited to introduce her to our little community!

As a thank you / just because / she’s a gorgeous model, I updated her headshots for her in downtown Wilmington. As predicted, they are STUNNING.

I can’t wait for you to see more of Molly and her work around here!

You can get in touch with her and follow her journey through Seven Makeup + Beauty on Facebook or @sevenmakeupandbeauty on Instagram.
