- Schedule the Trial at the Right Time: You should have your trial 4 to 8 weeks before the wedding. This is a time because your skin will be similar to how it will be, on your wedding day.. It is also far enough ahead that you can have another trial if you change your mind.
- Bring Some Pictures to Show the Makeup Artist: Just saying you want a “natural” or “glam” look is not enough. You should bring 3 to 5 pictures that show what you like. For example you can say “I love this eyeliner” or “I love this lip color”.
- Wear “Bridal White” (or Your Outfit Color): Makeup looks drastically different against a black t-shirt than it does against a white or ivory bridal gown. Wear a top in a similar shade to your wedding outfit to see how the colors harmonize with the fabric.
- Be Transparent About Your Skin: If you have a history of sensitivity, dry patches, or oiliness, tell your artist immediately. Honesty allows them to prep your skin with the right primers and formulas for a flawless finish.
- Be Open About Your Skin: If you have skin that gets sensitive or if you have patches or oily skin you need to tell your makeup artist right away. This way they can use the products to make your skin look great.
