2. Prepping for the Big Day: The Bridal Makeup Trial
You’re less than a month away from your big day and it’s time to schedule your bridal makeup trial. With the help of your makeup artist, you can create the perfect look that best enhances your features and expresses your personal style. Here’s some helpful tips on how to get ready for your trial.
- Research: Save and print images of makeup looks you like and looks that go best with your dress for the trial. This will help you and your makeup artist get a better idea of the look you are going for.
- Skin Prep: Start to take better care of your skin. Incorporate exfoliation two times a week and moisturize daily. This will help bring a healthy glow to your face during your trial and on the day of the wedding.
A few days before your bridal makeup trial try and get some rest. Your eyes will be more refreshed and bright if you are well rested. Avoid drinking a lot of liquids the night before as well since it can make you look puffy in the morning. Also, wear a white t-shirt or a white blouse to the appointment so you can get a clear view of the makeup. You can alternatively bring pictures of the dress you plan to wear for the wedding.
During the bridal makeup trial it’s important to listen to your makeup artist and take their advice! They’re professionals and know what works best on your face. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and to make adjustments as your trial progresses. And don’t forget to take pictures of the look from different angles. You’ll need that later when the actual day arrives!
3. How to Choose the Right Makeup Artist
Know what Look You Want: Before you start searching for a makeup artist, make sure you already have an idea in mind about what kind of look you want. Are you opting for a classic and timeless look, a modern look, or a glam look? Knowing what style you want ahead of time will help you in the selection process.
Look for Professionalism: Look for someone with professional experience. Most makeup artists have portfolios of their work which you can review. Doing research to check on their reviews and what kind of work they have done is beneficial. Make sure to check their credentials and ensure that they are qualified for the job.
Research Prices: After you have narrowed down on the makeup artist who might be suitable for your needs, check out their prices and availability. Different makeup artists have different rates that mostly depend on the kind of service they are providing. Check and compare prices for whatever service you are getting to ensure that you are not overpaying for it.
Look for Availability: You will also need to check the artist’s availability so that you can book them on the day you need. Make sure to book the artist a few days ahead of the actual service date, so that there is enough time to plan and no last minute surprises. Have the artist give you a timeline of what to expect before, during, and after the makeup session.

4. Crafting Your Dream Wedding Look
Choose Your Ideal Gown
The bridal gown is one of the most important elements of your dream wedding look. Pick a dress that not only makes you look fabulous but, more importantly, makes you feel your most beautiful. Consider the neckline, silhouette, and embellishment– fabric, lace, beads that all come together to create the perfect look.
Accessorize the Look
The accessories you choose can even take your dream wedding look to another level. They can tie the overall look together and add a unique touch. Consider the following:
- Veil – Create a romantic or ethereal look with a veil.
- Jewelry – Think of which type of jewelry suits your style and the shape of your dress.
- Shoes – Whether you go for classic ivory or a bold color, pick shoes that will make you feel amazing.
- Hairpiece – Choose a hairpiece that gives you the desired silhouette and complements your look.
Find the Perfect Match
Your accompaniments should complement your dream wedding look. Make sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen’s attire match your style. Consider the colors, fabrics, and silhouettes you’ve chosen. Think about their hairstyles and jewelry as well. With the right kind of coordination, you can create a picture-perfect look.
Merge the Finishing Touches
Finally, let the overall atmosphere of your wedding be reflected in your dream wedding look. Think about the colors, fabrics, and ornaments inspired by your theme and venue. Put the tiniest details together, and you will have a look that truly matches your dreams.
5. Tips for Nailing the Perfect Look
To be the embodiment of style, a winning and effortless look can be achieved in a few easy steps. Here are 5 tips for achieving the perfect look.
- Know your body shape. Knowing the ins-and-outs of your body type is essential for knowing which pieces of clothing to pick and combine well.
- Less is (way) more. Instead of having too many pieces of clothing or bold-coloured outfits, pick a few staple pieces and couple them with subtle colours or accessories for an elegant yet effortless look.
- Get familiar with textiles. Get an understanding of which fabrics sit nicely on the body and which ones feel better. Consider weight and thickness for the particular season of the year and use them in piecing together an outfit.
- Accessorize. Accessories can make a difference in taking an outfit from zero to amazing. A hat, handbag or a scarf can add an additional texture, bring colour, and highlight the look.
- Play around. Experiment with different pieces and colours that you have not used before. Allow yourself to get creative and make mistakes. It’s the only way to discover what works best for you.
Creating the perfect look doesn’t have to be a painful process. All it takes is to get a better understanding of your body and clothes, and to think out of the box when it comes to styling. With these steps you’re ready to take on the challenge.
6. Working Towards the Finishing Touches
