5 Tips For Brides For Day Of Makeup
Skincare, airbrush vs conventional, choosing a look you love, communicating with your team, and actually enjoying the chair.
Your day-of wedding routine can be stressful. These five tips should help.
Tip #1: Skincare
Get into a daily routine at least 6 months prior to your wedding day. The longer you have to prepare, the better.
Cleanse twice a day, exfoliate 2–3 times per week, and moisturize. Don’t neglect your lips — exfoliate them regularly and seal the moisture with a lip balm or mask overnight.
Hydrate. Drink the water. And don’t experiment with facial treatments in the few weeks leading up to your big day.
Tip #2: Airbrush versus conventional foundation
Airbrush is especially good for dry skin and mature skin. It is very light and is applied in layers. Because it is silicone-based, it is best to avoid oily skin. If you’re unsure, we will help you decide.
Conventional makeup can give the look of airbrush foundation and last equally as long. We use top-of-the-line products to ensure this.
Tip #3: Choose a look you love
Scan Pinterest. Save everything you like. Schedule more than one trial if you’re on the fence. If you don’t typically wear a lot of makeup, aim for a simple look — and understand a lot goes into a “natural” face that looks flawless in photos.
Nudes and pinks are timeless, but a bold lip can be stunning if it makes you feel confident. A great place to start is our gallery.
Tip #4: Communicate with us
It’s perfectly normal not to know what you want. Know what you don’t want. If you don’t like a look we’ve created, tell us. We won’t be offended.
Tip #5: Relax and enjoy
Your wedding day can be stressful, but your time in our chair shouldn’t be. Sit back, close your eyes, enjoy some champagne, and let us pamper you.
