The Bridal Preview

...

  • Find Bridal Makeup Inspiration Photos

    • Check out my Pinterest boards by hair and eye color, or my Instagram for my previous work.

    • Start by gathering several inspiration photos. Many of my Brides don't wear makeup daily, so browsing looks before your preview is helpful!

    • If it feels overwhelming, just save what you’re drawn to, and we’ll talk through all of the photos together.

    • These are only inspiration to see what colors you like, how much smoke you’d like on your eyes, etc. I will customize your look for what I feel suits you best!

    • You will get your Preview questionnaire to complete when you book your appointment, it will pop up with the rest of your consent forms.

    **Tips on finding Inspo Photos

    • Look for photos of women with similar skin tone, eye color, eye shape, and hair color.

    • Find photos where the details of the eye makeup is visible.

    • You can choose complete looks or collect various photos of pieces that you’re drawn to. Eyeshadow colors, cheek shades, or lip colors from different images.

    Get yourself ready like it’s your wedding day

    This is test run to see the whole bridal look, you want to look complete!

    • Get a spray tan if you plan on getting one for wedding day.

    • Do your hair, not professionally, but just so it looks when you’re staring at yourself in the mirror all day.

    • Wear white and a neckline that is either close to your dress, or has an open neckline.

    • Come to your appointment with clean, exfoliated skin!

  • WHEN TO BOOK

    • I recommend booking your preview when you’re able to wear your preview look for at least four hours before taking it off.

    • November - April has the most availability. Book your preview during this time if you need an evening or weekend appointment.

    • May - October is busy season for weddings, so my availability is strictly weekdays, and I have less time in the studio.

    • The timing of your preview relative to your wedding date doesn’t matter to me—I’ll take detailed notes and photos of your look for the big day. Please schedule your preview when it works best for you!

    HOW TO BOOK

    • Book online through my booking site, linked below.

    • My availability opens on the 1st of every month for the following month (e.g., On May 1st, all of June opens.)

    • If you're out of state or have a specific date in mind for your preview and don’t see it available online, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your request!

  • CONSULTATION

    • Together, we'll review your inspiration photos and Bridal Preview Questionnaire.

    • We’ll discuss what suits your skin tone and features, as well as the best products for your skin type.

    • We can also cover skin prep, skincare recommendations, and anything else you’re interested in.

    CREATING YOUR LOOK

    • After discussing your vision, I’ll apply your bridal look.

    • We can make any immediate adjustments you’d like when I’m finished.

    • I’ll take lots of photos and notes for reference on your wedding day!

    AFTER YOUR PREVIEW

    • You can note things like color adjustments or areas that felt oily or dry, where you want more highlighter, etc.
