Your wedding is the one day you want to look perfect, flawless, and gorgeous. This is not the time to experiment with a new hair style or makeup that you’re not comfortable with. Especially, a new hair cut!
On your wedding, you want to look like you with a touch of glam!
This is where a Make Up Artist comes into play and why a trial run before The Big Day is important!
Follow these tips to ensure you’re the prettiest bride to ever walk down that aisle:
- You & your Make Up Artist will be working very closely together. A Trial Run is a great way to decide if your personalities match. This is so very important on the day of the wedding when everyone and their mothers are running around like a headless chicken.
- A Trial Run will show you just how organized and prompt your Make Up Artist is. You’ll appreciate this on The Big Day!
- Ask to see a Portfolio. Whether it’s online or in print, every Make Up Artist should have one.
- Be open to suggestions from your Make Up Artist. After all, you’re wearing our work down that aisle which is huge exposure for us. We want you to look your best, too!
- If you have a specific look in mind, bring a photo along with you to the Make Up Trial so your Artist can recreate it.
- At the Trial, your Artist should take pictures of the final look and write down the products they used on you. This will ensure the perfect look is duplicated on your Wedding Day.
- A Trial Run is also a good way to see how your skin reacts to the products used.
- Plan at least an hour for makeup on your Wedding Day. You never know what can happen.
- Check your makeup at the Trial in natural lighting inside, and outside!
- Sync your hair & makeup Trial so you can see how they go together.
- The beauty of a Trial Run is that the makeup washes off. So if we don’t get it right the first time, we try again until you are completely satisfied!
I love doing Trial Runs with my Brides because it’s a great way to get to know each other and bond, to perfect her look, and to make my Bride feel relaxed and pampered, as she’s probably going crazy planning her wedding!
Do you feel that a Make Up Trial in an important part of planning a wedding? Did you (or would you) have a Trial or do you think it’s unnecessary?
