I always tell my clients during their trial: “Your makeup is going to look even better on your wedding day.” Then comes the usual question: “How come, Diana?” Let’s talk about the reasons why bridal makeup really shines on your special day.
The Bridal Trial means laying the foundation
When you book your bridal trial, the appointment is pretty much incognito at first. You and your makeup artist might have never met before and frankly, you might not even know what kind of makeup style works best for you. That’s exactly what trials are for: to experiment, adjust and create the perfect bridal look for you.
During this session, we test products, finishes or colors, while making adjustments if we need to. And it’s normal for you to wonder by the end of the trial: “Is this really how I’ll look on my wedding day?” No need to worry though, as trial makeup is all about figuring out what works, what doesn’t and what needs to be perfected. Sometimes, after you try different techniques or products, your skin might look beautiful but not perfect yet. Remember, the trial is about preparing the look, not the final reveal.
Wedding Day – it’s when everything comes well together
Here comes your wedding day and your energy and happiness seem to be at their maximum. Your skin radiates, even if an unexpected pimple decides to make an appearance (it happens to the best of us) and your overall glow shows through. If you follow good skincare practices (hopefully you listened to your artist’s recommendations), your skin is likely to look its absolute best. Quality skincare matters more than ever. It really has an impact on how well your makeup sits on your skin and how long it lasts.
Here’s another secret: by your wedding day, I already know everything I need to know about you. Unlike the trial, where I ask a million questions about your preferences, skin type and style inspiration, the wedding day is game time. Everything is documented so you get an uninterrupted glam time.
Since we already met before and discussed, I’ll know exactly what you love and what to avoid. On your wedding day, I pay more attention to every detail. I spend more time perfecting your look and Voilà! The result is even better than your bridal trial.
And keep this in mind: you are experiencing one of the happiest days of your life, surrounded by love and excitement, which enhances everything, including your makeup!
Future brides, your wedding day is the moment you see the best version of yourself reflected back in the mirror. Trust the process and embrace the glow when walking down the aisle.
