Why Every Bride Needs a Makeup Design Appointment Before the Big Day?
Your wedding is the most photographic day of your life, so why would you leave how you look up to chance?
As a bridal makeup artist, I’m often asked if a trial is really that important, and I always answer with a resounding yes!
Personalization – Trails the best time to see how your inspiration photo actually looks on you, and allows me, the makeup artist, to adjust the look to best fit your face. Trails are designed to take more time than during the day off. I usually book for an hour and a half, but I will go over if we need more time because I want you to feel confident and look your best on your wedding day!
Prevent Avoidable Surprise - One of the first questions I ask when I am meeting with a client is, Do they have any allergies or texture issues? This is important to know because I do not want your skin to experience an unexpected breakout or a product not to lay properly on your skin.
Confidence – I want you to feel confident not only in your makeup look but also in me as an artist and vendor. During a trial with me, we get to know each other and speak about how you envision the day to go. I will ask you questions to start developing a schedule for the day off, and if I need to bring a second artist to accommodate the timeline set. We will talk about the bridesmaids and what I should know about this. I ask all these questions so you, as the bride,
A perfect example of why trials are important is June of this year. It was the day of Melissa’s wedding, and I started doing her makeup when she stopped me, saying, "Are you going to do the same look from my trial?" I paused and said yes, do you want to change anything about the look? She laughed, smiled, and said, Good, because I really liked it!”
Book your trial with me, so your wedding day is all about love and fun, not guesswork!
What Is a Makeup Design Appointment? | Bridal & Event Makeup Trials Explained”
It all begins with an idea.
I like to describe a makeup design appointment as a trial, where we create a makeup look together for an upcoming event, typically a wedding or a gala. As the client, you can see how you like my style, the product, and whether you feel our personalities will match. As the makeup artist, I will gain an understanding of who you are and how I can best create the look of your dreams.
The sessions start with an in-depth discussion with me about your vision for your wedding or special event (e.g., Gala, Bridal/Baby Shower, Bat/Bar Mitzvah, etc.). We will review your inspiration photos, discuss how much makeup you currently wear, any allergies you may have, and how you envision the day /night unfolding. I will document the final look we created with photos and notes to ensure the same look on your big day.
Reserve your trial and let’s create the look you’ll love every time you see your wedding photos!
