Bridal Makeup

Why is a bridal makeup trial important before the wedding day?

A bridal makeup trial allows us to test different looks, match your preferences, and ensure your makeup complements your outfit and accessories. It helps reduce stress on the wedding day and guarantees you feel confident about your final look.

How far in advance should I book my bridal makeup trial?

We recommend booking your bridal makeup trial 2–3 months before your wedding day. This gives us enough time to finalise your look and make adjustments if needed.

What should I bring to my bridal makeup trial?

Bring along inspiration photos, details of your outfit, jewellery, and any preferred makeup products. Wearing a white or light-coloured top similar to your wedding dress helps you visualise the complete look.

How do I prepare my skin before my bridal makeup session?

For best results, maintain a simple skincare routine in the months leading up to your wedding. Stay hydrated, exfoliate gently, and avoid trying new products right before the big day. Arrive at your session with a clean, moisturised face.
