Your wedding day should be the happiest experience of your life. However, the lead up to it can be fraught with worry, arguments and arrangements. If you’re feeling stressed about your dress or you just cannot take looking at one more fabric swatch – STOP! Have a rest, put your feet up and just focus on yourself. Breathe. Isn’t that better? Now, it’s time to think about the fun stuff – your bridal makeup! So, what should you take into consideration?
- Find a good makeup professional. Set aside enough room in your budget to afford a good bridal makeup artist with a great track record and testimonials.
- Ensure you make an appointment for a trial. As a general rule, it’s good practice to make a trial appointment between three and five weeks before your wedding.
- Have your trial during the day. When you have your trial in the daytime, you’ll see how your makeup looks in natural light.
- Make sure you have the same skin tone you will be going for on your big day. If you’re planning on looking tanned on your wedding day, ensure you go along to your makeup trial with a similar skin tone to the one you will have on the big occasion itself. If you prefer a paler look, then keep the same advice in mind.
- Bring photos to your trial. If you like certain makeup looks, then don’t be scared to bring along some photos from magazines or that you’ve printed out from the internet.
- Remember to wear a light-coloured top. Assuming you’re wearing white or a light colour when you get married, remember to wear a similar tone near to your face for your trial so you’ll see how your makeup will look against it.
