We’re so excited to create your look! A little preparation helps us make the most of your trial time and ensures you look and feel your very best.

Makeup Trial Preparation

  • Please arrive with clean, makeup-free face.

  • Gently cleanse and lightly exfoliate your skin beforehand.

  • Use the skincare products you normally use and know work well for you.

Hair Trial PrepTips

For Smooth Texture with Straight or Wavy Hair

Wash and blow-dry your hair the night before or the morning of your trial. Use little to no styling products. If needed, lightly smooth any frizz with a flat iron before you arrive, ensuring your hair is fully dry.

Natural Texture for Curly Hair

If you would like your artist to work with your natural texture, we recommend arriving with your curls styled as you typically wear them. Use your preferred curl products and allow your hair ample time to dry fully before your appointment.

General Preparation Tips

  • To help you visualize your full bridal look, we recommend wearing a top that is similar in color and neckline to your wedding dress, if possible. This small detail can make a big difference when seeing everything come together.

  • Knowing what you love is just as important as knowing what you don’t. Inspiration photos are incredibly helpful in guiding your artist. Pinterest and saved images are wonderful resources. Please bring photos of makeup and hairstyles you’re drawn to, along with a photo of your dress, so we can fully understand your vision and personal style.

  • We are here to make you look and feel your very best. Open communication is key, so please share your thoughts, preferences, and any concerns with your artist during your trial.

  • And most importantly, relax and enjoy the experience!

    Please note: Trials that extend beyond the scheduled appointment time will be billed accordingly.
