Tips To Maximize Your Bridal Makeup Trial

Tips to maximize your bridal makeup trial:

1. Come prepared: Bring inspiration photos of the makeup look you want to achieve on your wedding day. This will help your makeup artist understand your vision and make necessary adjustments during the trial. Look at their instagram or portfolio of past brides you love!

2. Communicate openly: Clearly communicate your preferences, concerns, and any specific requests or allergies you may have. This will ensure that your makeup artist understands your needs and can create a look that suits you.

3. Test the longevity: Request that the makeup artist uses long-lasting products during the trial. This will allow you to assess how well the makeup holds up throughout the day and if any touch-ups are needed.

4. Consider the lighting: If possible, schedule your trial during the same time of day and in similar lighting conditions as your wedding ceremony and reception. This will give you a better idea of how the makeup will look in different lighting environments.

5. Take photos: Capture different angles and lighting conditions during the trial. This will help you see how the makeup translates in photographs, which is crucial for your wedding day.

When to book a second trial:

1. If you're unsure about the initial trial: If you are not completely satisfied with the makeup look or have any doubts, it's a good idea to book a second trial. This will allow you to make necessary adjustments and see the look to feel absolutely confident.

2. If there are changes in your wedding plans: If you have made significant changes to your wedding theme, dress, or hairstyle, it may be necessary to have a second trial to ensure the makeup complements the new elements.

3. If there is a long gap between the trial and wedding day: If there is a considerable amount of time between your trial and wedding day, you may want to book a second trial closer to the date to refresh your memory and ensure the makeup look is still what you desire.

Remember, the bridal makeup trial is an essential step in achieving your desired look for your wedding day. The main purpose of the trial is to meet your artist, and set up an honest line of communication with them. Your artist is a professional and have heaps of ideas and advice, but they’re not a mind reader — this is your chance to make all the tweaks and changes, so on your wedding day you can just relax and enjoy the getting ready process. Don’t get frustrated if you don't love the first look — I’m sure you tried on at least 5 dresses in one store before landing on your dream dress, If your first look doesn’t come out how you imagined, sometimes what you imagined doesn’t suit your hair/face type. Stay open to trying something else at the recommendation of your artist. Take the time to communicate effectively with your makeup artist and don't hesitate to book a second trial if needed.
