Your Elevated Bridal Beauty Experience

Bridal trials are exclusively reserved for brides who have secured their wedding date with a signed contract and paid retainer. If you are unsure whether I am the right artist for your vision, I encourage you to review my portfolio and client testimonials prior to booking.

I specialize in soft glam bridal makeup, which features layered liquid foundation, creams, and powders to create a polished, long-wearing finish. This style is not natural makeup, yet it remains refined and timeless—elevated without being overly bold like full glam.

All bridal trials take place at my private studio in Benicia, CA. Due to limited space, I kindly ask that you attend your trial alone. Trials are offered on weekdays during business hours, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Weekends are reserved exclusively for wedding bookings; therefore, trials are not available on Saturdays or Sundays.

Wedding day beauty services often begin as early as 7:00 AM, and sometimes earlier depending on your timeline. Your start time will be thoughtfully planned based on your required “ready by” finish time, the number of services booked, and the overall flow of your day.

If your finish time is noon or earlier, an early-morning start time will be required. I never rush my work, as allowing proper time ensures a polished, long-lasting result and a calm getting-ready experience. Early ceremonies or early photo timelines naturally require earlier start times to ensure everyone is ready on time.

I’ll create your beauty timeline by working backward from your final finish time and will walk you through everything in advance so there are no surprises. My goal is always to keep your morning smooth, relaxed, and stress-free while delivering beautiful, elevated results ✨

This depends on your venue. Early access is required, as most wedding day services begin as early as 7:00 AM. You must confirm that the bridal suite will be available at the necessary start time or secure an off-site getting-ready location.

Many venues charge additional fees for early access or do not permit access at all. Please review your venue contract carefully and obtain written confirmation to ensure uninterrupted use of the space and avoid any unnecessary stress on your wedding day.

For the most seamless and relaxed morning, I highly recommend getting ready off-site in a spacious hotel suite or private rental.

If you’re looking for a professional artist who is calm, organized, and genuinely passionate about bridal makeup, we may be a perfect fit. I specialize in soft, elevated glam—a refined step beyond everyday makeup—designed to feel polished, timeless, and appropriate for long wedding days and professional photography. My approach uses lightweight, intentional layers to create a soft transformation, with beautifully perfected skin and subtly defined eyes that look flawless in person and translate effortlessly on camera.

I love collaborating with my brides and hearing what you’re drawn to! Your preferences, inspiration, and feedback are always welcome and help guide the overall direction of your makeup.

That said, all makeup looks are created within my signature soft glam style. By booking, you’re trusting my professional expertise, techniques, and artistic judgment to create a look that photographs beautifully, lasts all day, and enhances your natural features.

I ask that you choose inspiration that reflects the work shown in my portfolio, as this best represents the type of makeup I specialize in. This applies to the bride, bridal party, and any guests receiving services.

Because every face, skin type, and feature set is unique, I may make thoughtful adjustments during application to ensure the best possible outcome. While collaboration is always welcome, the final execution of each makeup look is guided by my professional discretion.

Booking confirms that you’re comfortable with my artistic style and trust me to bring your vision to life in a way that aligns with my work 🤍

Your final makeup results can vary based on your skin type and overall hydration, so caring for your skin leading up to both your trial and wedding day is incredibly important. A consistent, simple skincare routine will help create the best canvas for long-lasting, flawless makeup.

In the days leading up to your appointment, gentle exfoliation and extra hydration can make a noticeable difference. The night before and the morning of, well-hydrated skin allows makeup to apply more smoothly and wear more evenly throughout the day.

Please keep in mind that makeup is designed to enhance your natural beauty — there is no magic layer that can completely hide natural skin texture or imperfections such as fine lines, creasing, acne, pores, or scars. Preparing your skin ahead of time helps ensure the most beautiful and realistic results.

For ongoing or specific skin concerns, I always recommend consulting a licensed esthetician or dermatologist for personalized care.

Skin Prep Do’s & Don’ts

DO:

• Keep your skincare routine consistent leading up to your trial and wedding day

• Gently exfoliate 1–2 times per week

• Focus on hydration (hydrating serums + moisturizer)

• Drink plenty of water in the days before your appointment

• Arrive with clean, moisturized skin on the day of service

DON’T:

• Try new skincare products within 1–2 weeks of your trial or wedding day

• Over-exfoliate or use harsh treatments

• Use retinol, tretinoin, or strong actives right before your appointment

• Arrive with dry, flaky, or irritated skin without proper prep

Taking a little extra care of your skin ahead of time helps me create a glowing, photo-ready finish you’ll love on your wedding day ✨
