Blush & Bobby Pins works from a Carmel studio and takes clients from across the Indianapolis area, with bridal work at the center of what it offers. The business has been working with clients since 2011, and its team combines more than 70 years of industry experience. The business describes its artistic team as award-winning.
Its signature looks are meant to be elevated, natural and soft in glamour. The stated aim is a luxurious experience and a look fitted to each person, so the artists tailor each service to the client's features, concerns and needs, and say they work with people of all races, ages, identities and genders.
Makeup is done with airbrush foundation applied by pen and compressor, with traditional techniques, or with a blend of both, which is the most common approach. Hair artists travel with professional products for natural, curly, fine and limp hair, and hair design ranges from soft, flowing dry styles to intricate up-dos.
For weddings, the business offers concierge-style planning and wedding-day service. Curated collections can be built for small elopements, hair only, makeup only, or with added concierge support. Clients receive a bridal beauty email subscription, check-in sessions and a personalized timeline coordinated with their planner or photographer, along with recommendations for nail technicians, aestheticians and brow specialists. Bridal hair and makeup is usually booked 12 to 18 months ahead, and the business advises booking soon after securing a venue and date.
Preview appointments are held at the Carmel studio Monday through Thursday and run 120 to 180 minutes. They are optional but recommended, since they allow products and techniques to be tested before the wedding. Hair and makeup can be booked separately or together, and the business prefers not to have other vendors performing the same service on the day, so the look stays cohesive in photos.
The business builds services around each client's features, concerns and needs, with the aim of a luxurious experience and a look suited to the individual.
