I’m low maintenance when it comes to personal beauty: I really don’t wear makeup other than powder and lipstick and I hate wearing eye makeup because I always end up looking like I had been crying. So when my sister asked me to be a bridesmaid in her November wedding at Casa Real (Pleasanton), I decided to go with a makeup and hair pro. All the bridesmaids, including myself, ended up booking with A-List Makeup, founded by Ann Ho. Her team did a fantastic job and within a reasonable budget; since then I’ve known other brides to be just as satisfied. I had a little Q & A with Ann to find out how she got started and what she offers brides and their bridal parties:

Q. Why makeup?
A. I got my start in bridal makeup because of modeling. I studied fashion design in college and hair and beauty go hand-in-hand with fashion.

Q. What’s your favorite part of a wedding? What sets you apart?
A. Since she’s started doing bridal makeup and hair, Ann has found getting her clients ready her favorite part of the wedding day. She treats her bride-clients as if they’re friends, only suggesting looks that would be appropriate and unique to the bride, versus pushing her own style on them.

Q. What should a bride bring to a makeup trial/consultation?
A. The bride should bring a picture of herself with makeup on, or what she looks like when she goes out.  She should also bring pictures of what she would like to have done, as far as hair and makeup.  This helps me decide what works best for her.
