Wedding Day Makeup Preparation

We all want to be the glowing bride on our wedding day so why not make it happen? The biggest fear our brides have when the big day is approaching is what their skin is going to decide to do that day. Well worry no more because we have all the secrets to what to do when preparing your skin for your wedding day.

Don’t be afraid to prepare yourself before you come to get your makeup done! Taking a personal day at the salon to get your eyebrows waxed or getting any other unwanted facial hair removed is a great idea. Dermaplaning treatments are always good to do prior to your wedding day because not only does it remove unwanted hair, but it also gives you that "glowing bride" look you are wanting to capture. You want to look stunning on your wedding day, so why not treat yourself a few days before? 

Avoid tanning at all cost days before your wedding. You do not want to over tan and end up coming to your makeup artist the day of your wedding three shades darker than what you were at your consolation appointment. It wont be good for your, your makeup artist, and even your photographer. Being too tan can really affect the way your makeup and photos come out so know that, it’s okay to tan, just don’t overdo it days prior to your wedding!

Moisturizing your face will be the best thing you have ever done for your skin in preparation to get your makeup done for the big day. A good way to prepare your skin for your wedding day if you have dried or red skin is to try a five minute sugar; yes that’s right sugar body scrub. Sounds delicious…for your skin! All you need is…

2.5 cups of sugar in the raw

¾ cup of white granulated sugar

4-5 tablespoons of your favorite extract (vanilla, orange, almond, etc.)

¼ cup of almond oil.

Make sure you also give your skin time to breath. Taking a break from the everyday makeup application before your wedding day is always a good idea. That way, we can get started on your face right away without having to remove and access makeup from the night before.

The last thing to always remember when getting your makeup done on your wedding day is to be punctual! Have your first face set up and ready to go so that we can get started on making everyone in the bridal party look flawless.

At your pre consolation appointment, we will be able to tell you what your skin needs, what will make your skin look flawless, and what will work best to capture that all day look you are going for.
