Tips for your bridal makeup preview
What is a preview appointment?
Also known as a ‘trial’, the preview appointment is the best way to test out your wedding makeup look before the big day.
It is a chance to:
✦ Make any changes or additions
✦ Try things out that you might be on the fence about
✦ See how the makeup wears throughout the day
✦The time for us to meet face to face before the big day
Below is a few tips to help you get the most out of your appointment.
Hair Done:
You don’t necessarily need to have your hair done professionally but having it styled will definitely help you see the look come together.
Bonus points if you schedule your hair and makeup preview on the same day so you can see the final look come together!
Skin Prep:
Makeup will only look as good as the skin underneath underneath, so making sure to take good care of your skin in the lead up is important.
Having a good skincare routine is crucial - wash and moisturise your face daily as well as drinking plenty of water is a great place to start.
A light exfoliation the night before will do wonders to help remove any flaky skin before the appointment
Inspo Photos:
Find a couple of photos with elements that you love: colours, shapes, finish, lashes etc.

Some things to consider:
Look at the model in the photos: eye shape/hair colour/skin tone etc.
Something that can be helpful is photos of makeup you’ve had on yourself that you liked or didn’t like and why. Eg. you love how your brows look here, but don’t like the eyeliner.
Fake Tan:
If you are planning on wearing fake tan on the day, make sure to wear it to the preview as well. This way you can see more accurately how the colours will show on your face
Wearing White (or the same colour as your fit):
Colour can change the whole vibe of a look. Wearing the same colour as your outfit for the day can help you to see the full vision come to life.
I hope these tips helped to answer any questions you had about your preview makeup appointment!
