 t
was when the umpteenth bride asked Kinigopoulos for a makeup book
she could recommend, or a website she could suggest for brides to
learn more about makeup, that she realized there weren’t any.
Not only could Kinigopoulos not suggest a book about makeup for
brides, she couldn’t recommend a simple, effective makeup line
designed just for them either. Where could a bride learn how to
apply her own makeup for the most important day of her life? Where
could brides find resources to share with their professional makeup
artists? Where could these professional makeup artists learn the
most effective way to do makeup for brides?
Kinigopoulos saw the gap, and knew she had to fill it. Enter Bridal
Babe, Inc. Under this fab umbrella
is the award-winning website, bridalbabe.com,
created to educate and teach brides/makeup artists how to do makeup
for the special day. In addition, Bridal
Babe, The Makeup Book for Brides, the
only how-to makeup book just for brides and finally Bridal
Babe Cosmetics, the coolest makeup
kits around made to simplify brides lives ( with a how-to booklet
and foolproof colors). With Bridal
Babe, Kinigopoulos has created quite
a brand. It is an informative, fun, and efficient beauty haven for
groovy brides everywhere!

Beauty Insider: "Kinigopoulos
has worked as a makeup artist on film sets (including hair for
Runaway Bride, naturally), but she liked
making up those other divas––brides––so much that
she wrote a book about them. The book project led to her bridalbabe.com
Web site, a 'how-to enabling every bride tolook as fabulous as a movie
star.' "

Online: "As
makeup artist and hairstylist Janice Kinigopoulos has worked with
Jodie Foster, Liv Tyler, Angela Bassett and other top celebs. She
also styled the locks of Richard Gere for Runaway
Bride. But real-life brides, says Kinigopoulos,
"are the ultimate divas." In 1999 she launched bridalbabe.com,
a site filled with a trio of do-it yourself makeup guides she has
dubbed the Princess Babe, the Classic Babe and the Natural Babe. "I
wanted to give the resources to look and feel gorgeous," says
the mother of two, 39. And to help them avoid her own makeup mishap
from her 1984 wedding. "I wore frosty blue eye shadow,"
she says. "I should have left that in the Slurpee machine."

Expert Advice: "On
the day of, hair and makeup artist Janice Kinigopoulos of Bridalbabe.com
suggests, start with dry hair and set it in hot rollers. 'The heat
of the rollers polishes the hair, which adds height and slickness
to any hairdo,' she says. If you are putting your hair in an updo
or pinning on a veil, Kinigopoulos suggests using baby or matte bobby
pins rather than regular ones, which can show. It's also a good idea
to keep a few extra pins on hand for last-minute fixes."
