Sarah is a natural beauty and wanted to enhance her features without a ton of makeup. She also let me know that her hair is tossed up in a messy bun daily.
So we created a look that accentuated her features, concentrating on bringing out those baby blues, and a lip color that would not only accent those beautiful blues, but work well with her skin tone, as well as look great in photographs. I also wanted to make sure that she felt comfortable with her hairstyle. I knew she wanted to feel like herself so we decided that all up was the best way to go.
It was a win. She looked radiant, stunning gorgeous the best of all she felt amazing. She felt like herself, the best version of herself!

Microneedling can fade scars, uneven skin tone, soften wrinkles and fine lines, improve texture and much more.
It involves needles that penetrate to the dermis creating a controlled injury. The depth is uniform and the injuries stimulate your skin into a rapid healing process that stimulates collagen, elastin fibers, and angiogenesis.
By using the stamping technique, needles penetrate to the desired depth.

I love ponytails, and depending on your neckline and style, it may be the perfect wedding day look for you!
The great thing about ponies is their versatility. Boho, high glam, textured, sleek, or chic, it’s your preference.
Placement of the ponytail can help define cheekbones as well as help balance facial features.

You Can Still Get Your Glow On For The Holidays- NJ Skin Care Guru

There is still time left to make sure your skin looks it’s very best for the holidays!  Whether you need to hydrate, exfoliate, or plump –  I will make it happen!

Dermaplaning prior to a HydraFacial is a perfect way to stimulate your skin to respond, helping to achieve a more radiant and toned look.  To help stimulate even further, booster treatments may be added to any HydraFacial.  The booster that I recommend and love from personal experience is the CTGF booster.  The combination of ingredients help to stimulate the growth and development of new blood vessels, reduce inflammation, smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and texture.

Book your appointment today!  Appointments still available for Tuesday 12/18/2018! Contact me @ 908-447-6910 or email designsbymagda@gmail.com.

NYC Gal Weds @ Aldie Mansion – Doylestown Township, Pennsylvania

Referrals give confirmation of 100% client satisfaction.  There is no bigger compliment than to learn that your future client is a referral from a past client.

Mary Sossa and her mom Mori were just that, a referral from a previous Bride that was also a referral from another satisfied Bride!
Mori and I  began corresponding a few months prior to Mary’s hair and makeup trial, and the three of us decided to meet about 6 months prior to the date of the event.  We decided to  meet in NYC, and the minute I laid my eyes on Mary I knew she would look amazing no matter what we decided to do with her hair and makeup.  She is a natural beauty with a flawless complexion that is complimented by her thick brown long hair and green eyes.

Mary and I consulted before we began the trial, discussing her likes and dislikes. She brought plenty of pictures to help explain the look she was envisioning.  Mary mentioned how important it was to her to look like herself.  Keeping Mary’s requests and personality in mind, I began to create.  I showed Mary a few variations of the styles she was looking for and the winning look was created by placing emphasis in the crease of the eye with color Dusty Rose from the Soft Glam palette by Anastasia of Beverly Hills, tight lining the upper lash line by using Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner, and applying false lashes.  Her lips were defined by the Buxom Cloak & Dagger Plumpline Lip Liner combined with Rikugien by Nars.  The combination complimented Mary’s flawless fair skin tone.
Her hair was set prior to beginning the makeup application, allowing the curls to cool slowly.   The curls were soften with a brush and pinned back allowing the curls to softly frame the face. 

The big day quickly approached, and before we both new it the day had arrived!  The weather forecast was not the best and I must say it was one of the rainiest days I had seen in a long time.  But there was no need to fret – I was on it!  Waterproofing to the max!  The rain, thunder, and lightening would not stop me, or any of the team of experts on board that day from delivering a less than perfect wedding day for this Beauty and her Prince!

Deb had reached out to me a few months prior to her wedding day, inquiring about makeup services for herself as well as hair & makeup services for her bridal party. She decided to move forward and a few weeks later we met at her NYC apartment. Deb was completely prepared, and very sweet I must say, and new exactly what she wanted. We played with a few different makeup options, and decided that Debbie’s beautiful skin and green eyes were best complimented by a bold defined lip. By keeping Deb’s skin flawless and highlighted right at the cheeks, defining the top lash line with a tight lined liner and adding in individual lashes, helped create Debs vision, timeless, classic, and understated beauty.
Deb and Matt’s special day arrived quickly and the team and I looked forward to beautifying all of the lovely ladies. Makeup styles varied from soft and natural to sultry and flirty, while hairstyles were romantic and chic.

NJ Wedding Hair & Makeup – Classic Waves And A Bold Lip

magdas designs hm carmelaCarmela had reached out to me about 9 months prior to the date of her event.  We corresponded back and forth discussing her details, ideas, and different options.

Carmela decided to move forward with the trial and needless to say we hit it off!  We tried a few different variations of the hairstyles we discussed as well as added in extensions to create more volume and length.  We played with different makeup looks, Carmela was undecided between a smokey eye or a soft eye with a bold lip.  After comparing the two looks, Carmela decided that the bold lip and soft sultry eye would reflect her style and personality and I could not agree more!  The look complimented her skin tone as well as the amber under tones in her eyes.

Before we new it the big day was here!  I met Carmela and the ladies at the Ocean Place Hotel.  To best compliment the Brides look, the ladies decided on soft beach waves and a sun kissed glow with a neutral eye and lip.  Everyone decided on lashes for an additional pop.  Lashes add definition to the eye and always are great in photos.

The Brides look consisted of a full head of 100% Remy Human Hair Clip-In Extensions.  The hair was set, cooled, and brushed to soften the curls.  Makeup was elegant and had an old school flair to it.
