The Ultimate Guide to Bridal Makeup

Updated: Mar 29, 2023

You've booked me for your wedding makeup, now what?


There are so many moving parts to a wedding, from coordinating with the venue all the way to the tie colours. These details are important but you shouldn't feel overwhelmed about your unique "look" and how you want to feel that day - that's where I come in as your Beauty Expert with all the tips + tricks. 😇

Your face is a canvas and like any piece of art, it’s all about the preparation. A facial is a great way to start – but please not 2 weeks ahead of the wedding! I’ve seen brides arrive to their wedding day with red, sensitive and flaky skin. Although this is fixable, it is not ideal for makeup application.


After you've chosen the dress, the venue, the flowers - you want to put your best face forward. You're in the right hands to get yourself fully prepped for your special day. While these details are important, you shouldn't feel overwhelmed about your unique "look" and how you want to feel that day - that's where I come in. 😇

Your face is a canvas and like any piece of art, it’s all about the preparation. A facial is a great way to start – but please not 2 weeks ahead of the wedding! I’ve seen brides arrive to their wedding day with red, sensitive and flaky skin. Although this is fixable, it is not ideal for makeup application.

Here's a quick breakdown of your Wedding Timeline


4 - 6 Months:

Book your Makeup Trial and Lash/Brow Consultations within this time frame.

3 - 4 Months:

Another very important step in creating a clean canvas is Brow Shaping and Facial Threading. This is not something you want to do on your wedding day as makeup, eye shadow and bronzer is being applied and can magnify these tiny facial hairs.

1 Month:

Book your final Brow Shaping and Lash treatments at least 1 month ahead. Let’s not let anything be a surprise. Maybe you’re a “lift” gal or maybe you would love to try extensions. If you are not interested in these, I’ve got solutions for you! But let’s give it at least a month!

Also, BIG tip coming right at you – bring your partner and any other male identifying family in for a Brow Shaping a month before the big day. Take a close look at wedding photos you’ve seen – why do the men get ignored? Don’t worry! It’s not going to make them look “different” – just like they've cleansed their face!
