Tips to prepare for your Bridal Preview (trial consultation)

Wear the Right Clothing

• Wear a white or light-colored top: Matching the tone of a bridal gown to ensure your makeup palette doesn't clash.

• Mimic your dress neckline: Choose a V-neck, strapless, or button-down top to help gauge how the look frames your face and neck.

• Avoid bulky hoodies or sweatshirts: Keeps your neck and chest exposed for accurate skin-tone foundation matching.

Gather Accurate Inspiration

Limit photos to 2–5 looks: Narrow down your favorites to avoid overwhelming your artist with contradicting styles.

• Match your features: Look for inspiration models who share your skin tone, hair texture, and eye shape.

• Identify what you hate: Show examples of makeup or hairstyles you absolutely dislike to establish clear boundaries.

• Share your overall vibe: Bring pictures of your wedding dress, venue, and floral colors to give the artists aesthetic context.

Prep Your Hair and Skin

• Wash hair the night before: Arrive with 100% dry hair. Stylists need the natural grip of day-old hair to make updos last.

• Skip heavy hair products: Avoid heavy leave-in conditioners, oils, or flat-ironing, which ruin curl longevity.

• Arrive with a clean, hydrated face: Exfoliate and moisturize a few days prior to create a smooth canvas for foundation.

• Get your fake tan beforehand: If you plan to be tan on your wedding day, get a trial tan before your preview so foundation colors match.

Pack Your Essentials

• Bring your hair accessories: Pack your veil, hairpieces, jewelry, or extensions to test their placement.

• Bring your own lip color: If you have a specific lipstick shade you love, bring it along to see how it pairs with the overall look.

• Bring a trusted companion: Limit your guest to one honest person, like your mom or maid of honor, to avoid conflicting opinions.

Manage Logistics and Feedback

• Schedule it 1–3 months out: Booking close to the wedding date ensures your hair length and skin tone match your wedding day reality.

• Book on a special event day: Schedule your preview on the day of your bridal shower or engagement photos to test how the makeup holds up.

• Speak up politely during the trial: Be explicit about what you want changed; professionals value your honesty to refine the look.

• Take photos in natural light: Step outside after your appointment to photograph the look from multiple angles and check the texture.
