Bridal Preview & Pre-Wedding Preparations

  • We recommend scheduling your bridal makeup preview 3-6 months before your wedding. This gives us ample time to make any adjustments and ensures your skin and makeup look their best on your big day.

  • Please bring inspiration photos that match your skin tone.

    Wear a white or off-white top or dress, avoiding anything that covers your entire chest, to ensure accurate color matching.

    Arrive on time with a clean face.

    We want you to enjoy wearing your makeup, so plan an outing after your appointment!

    This allows you to see the complete look together and inform both me and your hairstylist of any adjustments you'd like to make in advance.

  • Yes, the makeup applied during the preview will be replicated on your wedding day. We take detailed notes, video, and photos to ensure consistency and accuracy.

  • We highly suggest you create a strong skincare routine months before your wedding day.
