Before Your Appointment

Planning ahead

A short trial and a little skin prep make wedding-day makeup smoother and longer-lasting.

Skin Prep

  • Keep your regular skincare routine — avoid trying new products the week before
  • Skip facials, peels, or waxing within 2–3 days of your appointment
  • Come in with clean, moisturized skin and no makeup

Timing

  • Book a trial 4–6 weeks ahead of your wedding date
  • Allow 60–90 minutes for a trial, longer for full bridal application
  • Confirm your event start time so touch-up timing can be planned

On the Day

  • Bring reference photos and your outfit colors
  • Wear a button-down or wide-neck top to avoid disturbing your makeup when changing
  • Share any skin sensitivities or product preferences in advance
What To Expect

Long-wear, camera-ready finish

Bridal application uses long-wear, photography-friendly products layered for your specific event timing and lighting. A small touch-up kit recommendation is shared so you can refresh your look later in the day if needed.
