Since weddings are revving up again and makeup consultations are in a BRIDE to BE’s immediate future, here are some of my Bridal Makeup Consultation Do’s and Don’ts!
Do have Bridal Makeup Inspo pics to show your artist.
Do wear the color of your dress to your appointment so you can see the makeup against the color.
Do try and schedule your Bridal Hair Consultation on the same day as your Makeup Consultation.
Do try to have makeup consultation appointment on day that something special is planned like a Bridal Shower!
Do come to your consult with a clean face.
Do tell your artist if you have any skin sensitivities.
Do tell your artist if you will want any body makeup or covering of tattoos.
Do bring any makeup products that you would like to show your artist if you feel more comfortable in doing that. For eg. if you want to use your mascara, then that is definitely ok to do!
Do tan if you plan on doing so about 3 days beforehand, to see the coloring before you commit to it on your wedding day. Also, the artist will have to match the color which can be done on the day of but it’s still better to see the whole picture.
Do take pictures afterwards to see what it looks like and if any modifications are needed.
Do voice your opinion and give feedback, remember this is Makeup not brain surgery. We want to make you happy!
Don’t get waxed the day before as your skin may still need some time to calm down before a makeup consult.
Don’t get a facial the day before, as your skin’s texture may be way different and slippery. Your skin will need to balance out for a few days before a makeup consult. I suggest a week in advance. Think of washing your hair right before curling it, most hair will not curl when it’s super clean and slippery.
Don’t show up with lash extensions that are literally on their last leg and are falling out. This will not give you a great finished and polished look at the end of your makeup consult.
Don’t be afraid to change your mind if you would like a different lip color or something to that effect, just let your artist know ahead of time and they will make any necessary adjustments the day of for you.
Don’t wait til last minute to schedule your consult. Give yourself and the artist at least 4-6 months prior to wedding date to book it. This gives plenty of time for any rescheduling or if the artist needs to acquire assistants.
Don’t show up to appointment from another makeup consultation!
I hope these Bridal Makeup Consultation Do’s and Don’ts help! Share it with a future Bride to BE!! If you have any other helpful tips, please add in the comments!!
