Wedding Beauty Questions and Answers

What is the consultation or trial appointment?

A trial appointment is basically a “trial run.” This can be done in-studio or at your location prior to the big day. To ensure the look you desire on your most glamorous day, we encourage clients to bring pictures and ideas to the makeup and/or hair consultation/trial appointment. Working together we can creatively make you look simply beautiful. We hair and makeup artists use this time to get to know your hair and face and prepare the best possible approach to create your total look. In short, a trial appointment is a great opportunity to experiment and create exactly what you are looking for so that you simply feel gorgeous as you walk down that isle.

How should my bridal party prepare for the wedding day?

The Wedding Party should arrive 10 minutes before their scheduled time. Hair must be cleaned and dried, preferably the evening before. A button down top, is a good idea so that you will not have to interfere with hair and makeup.
Hair and Makeup will have longevity, but it is best to bring lip gloss or lipstick, and blot papers or powder for touch ups.

 

How do I choose a lip color to go with my gown?


Take note of the color of your gown (ivory vs. diamond white), but the perfect hue depends on your skin, eye color, and hair color, and your personal makeup preferences, of course.  That said, you can't go wrong with a timeless and natural shade like pale pink or berry.  You don't want to look back at your pictures in 20 years and wonder why you chose bright red lipstick on your wedding day. Plus, very vibrant colors require too much touching up; natural shades will wear off less noticeably. Matte lip colors tend to last longer than creams or shimmers -- and luckily, many formulas now contain plenty of moisturizing ingredients so dried-out lips are a thing of the past. 

How do I make my blush stay put?

Maintain that truly romantic, blushing-from-within look by layering your makeup. Sandwiching powder blush between a layer of foundation and a thin dusting of loose powder will help give it longevity,  it also softens the face.  Need to get the look with the least makeup possible? Minimalists should opt for a liquid cheek stain,or cream blush which will give you a natural, rosy glow that lasts (and lasts). I use both for lasting power!

How should I deal with dry lips?


Spare your fiance your chapped kisser!  To really combat chapping and cracking, do a gentle exfoliation to remove the major flakes -- rub your lips gently using a dry toothbrush -- then follow up with some TLC.  Apply an ointment, such as Vaseline to seal in moisture and reduce dryness and cracking.  Follow up with a good lip balm and don't forget SPF on your lips. Sun exposure can also contribute to dryness.
 

How can I make my skin look lustrous (but not greasy)?

Rule number one: Don't use a heavy hand. Place shimmer in just a couple of places so that when the light hits it, you glow. Focus your highlighter on the higher planes of your face, like your cheekbones and the top of your nose, and set with a loose powder.  Don't over powder, though, or your makeup will look more cakey and less luminous.  If your arms and shoulders are exposed, you may also want to use a hint of highlighter along your collarbones and on your decolletage.
