Once you have taken the first step in contacting me to
have a makeup trial, the fun begins. Some makeup artists suggest a trial to
be done just a month in advance, however as I have so many weddings ahead,
trials with me are usually anything between 2 to 5 months prior to your
wedding day. However, if you have only just realised the importance of a
makeup artist one month prior to your day, do not panic, just give me a
call
and you never know you maybe in luck as there is always a chance I might be
available.
When I arrive at your chosen location to do the trial, I will need to set up
my tools in a room which you feel has the best "natural day light" and to
have a stool or chair for you to sit comfortably on. Ok, that's the boring
bit out of the way, may the bridal fun commence and trust me you will have
fun and feel pampered.
By this time, throughout your wedding planning, you will probably know what
colour scheme you are going with and that you may have ideas on how you like
your hair. You may have a certain image you want to create may it be the
popular Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren look of the 50s, or you may like the
very natural look of Jessica Alba & Cameron Diaz or if you like to wear a
lot of makeup you may like the daring glamour of Amy Childs and Lauren Pope.
This is the time when we discuss any ideas you may have and I can offer
my advice on what look will suit you best. The most important thing is that
you feel comfortable and confident with the look you want to achieve and I
never leave until you are 100% happy.
A trial should be carried out on every member of the bridal party, however I
can appreciate how difficult it is to get all the girls together, may it be
work commitments or people live abroad, but do not worry if this is the
situation. So long as I can see a small photo of them just so I can get an
idea of their skin tone and complexion and then on the actual day I would
need to do them first as they would take slightly longer as a trial was not
undertaken.
Once I have completed you and the wedding makeup trial a 50% deposit is
required.
Your Wedding Day Makeup
I will visit you at home or at your wedding venue on your wedding day and
recreate the look achieved at the trial.
Please ensure that all bridal party members have NO makeup on the morning I
arrive and it is advisable to wear either a dressing gown or very loose
fitting clothing to ensure your make up and hair is not disturbed.
I am also there to help you with anything else to ensure you have a stress
free and enjoyable experience, from helping you into your wedding gown, to
giving helpful and honest advice you may need with any general organising on
the day.
