Unlocking the Secrets to a Successful Bridal Beauty Trial Run

The countdown to your big day is on, and one of the most exciting yet crucial steps in your wedding prep is the beauty trial run. It's your moment to experiment, express your style, and ensure you feel like the queen you truly are! Here are some golden tips to make your beauty trial as flawless as your future wedding day.

How to Show up:

Clean Skin, No Makeup or Products besides Moisturizer

How to Come Prepared:
Bring a few photos of makeup looks that inspire you. The Artist will often ask you what you see in each photo, what you like and how comfortable you are wearing makeup.

Consider Lighting and Time of Day
Take the trial at the time of day you’ll be getting married. Test out the look in natural light and see how it holds up throughout the day.
Consider the Season
Considering a sheer glowy look in July? It may melt off if not enough layers are applied
Lashes or No Lashes
Most Brides do like a lash for their wedding day, and it often is included with the rate of the bridal makeup and trial run. There are often many options to choose from, a strip lash in varying densities and length, along with options for individual lashes or updates to mink lashes. A popular selection is either corner lashes or a lash a little longer than your natural lash.

Do you need to Bring Your Beauty Bag?
While it can be helpful to show the artist a few of your favorite products often is it not necessary as they will have all of the professional products needed to create the look. However to have a few of your favorite products handy will show the artist your preferred tones and textures. Whether it’s that perfect foundation or a beloved lipstick, showcasing what you love can help your artist cater to your unique vibe.

Skincare Prep for the Trial:

Makeup only looks as good as the skin its on. A facial a week before the trial is ideal and if there is no time for that try to do some exfoliation and a hydration mask two days before the trial run.

Reflect on the Look
Take notes! After your trial, jot down what you loved, what you didn’t, and any adjustments you want to make for the big day. It’s all about refining your look!

Be Honest -

Your Makeup Artist Is Open to your Preference, Communication is key! Share your preferences and any concerns. Want a subtle glow? Or perhaps you're dreaming of bold lips? Your artist is here to make your dreams come true, so don’t hold back!

Try to Relax and Enjoy
This is part of the fun! Enjoy the process; after all, your wedding day will be about expressing YOU. Beauty is very subjective and we want you to feel the process is easy for you to customize the perfect look.
