Private Dinner Event · Newport Beach, California
Every so often, a booking comes with a little extra magic. Doing makeup for Lydia McLaughlin for the Nobleman magazine cover party — a private dinner event celebrating cover star Wolfgang Puck — was exactly that kind of night.
For an intimate evening surrounded by press photography, the makeup had to work twice as hard: elegant and refined up close at the dinner table, and flawless under the step-and-repeat lights. Lydia's emerald satin gown set the direction — we went with radiant, perfected skin, softly defined eyes, warm rosy cheeks, and a glossy neutral lip that photographed beautifully alongside her statement diamond necklace.
There's something special about being part of the team behind these moments. While the legendary Wolfgang Puck held court with his cover issue in hand, Lydia looked every bit the picture of Newport Beach elegance — and that's exactly the job: making sure my client feels confident and camera-ready from the first flash to the last course.
On-location event makeup means I come to you — your home, your hotel, your venue — so your only job is to enjoy the evening.
