How to prepare for your booking
Remember, before your booking, if you have skin sensitivities, medical conditions and/or allergies which may include but not limited to nuts, nut oils and latex, it is extremely important and a requirement to let us know.
HAIR
For hair, do not wash it on the day if you can go without washing it for two days before your appointment that would be great as it will help style the hair better. If you wish to wash it close to your appointment please do so the day before but not the day of and ensure your hair is completely dry. After wash (if done the day before) do not put any product or anything into your hair as your stylist will do so the day of your booking. We advice to allow it to air dry.
MAKEUP
1. Come with a Clean face
On the day of your appointment, make sure you have a face free of makeup. No foundation, no primer, no mascara. Your makeup specialist will provide all of these things, and will want to apply them for you using the some of the best products in the industry. You are welcome to cleanse and moisturize as per normal.
2. Silence is golden
You'll meet, you'll greet, you'll discuss details, and enjoy each other's company. But, when it comes to actual makeup application, there are times when you'll want to sit back and relax — in silence. Your Makeup specialist is doing their best to create clean, crisp lines, and nothing is more difficult than applying makeup to a moving face. So, chat first, then while your makeup specialist applies lipstick, and other delicate details like eyeliner and mascara, take a verbal break.
3. Communication
Before your booking, you are welcome to email us images of the style and vision you have for your makeup and hair. This gives us time to prepare our team with products and service tailored to you, and so we can start a conversation about your goals long before the day of. Your Makeup specialist sincerely wants you to be happy. If there is any part of your look that you're unhappy with, let us know. Have some patience in the process and talk to your makeup specialist about your expectations. The last thing either of you want is to walk away with regret, and the only way to prevent that is clear communication.
Bring photos. And lots of them. If you like elements of a couple different hairstyles or makeup looks, bring photos, so your stylist can use them to build one cohesive vision. Bring along photos of what you don’t like, too, because your definition of a “smoky eye” might be much different from the makeup artist’s definition.
4. Don’t demand the impossible
Even with contouring and airbrushing, your makeup and hair specialist has the same canvas to work on that you do - your face. And although she will do everything in her power to achieve the look you're aiming for on your behalf, she's not going to be able to change the fact that you look like you. (Nor, for that matter, should you want her to. You're beautiful!)
That being said, all of the makeup in the world can't undo years or months of skin damage in one sitting. Plan on having an open and honest discussion with your makeup specialist before she begins, and be realistic and accepting of what she tells you her limits might be. If she says something won't work out, trust her. She/he's not trying to hold back — she/he wants you to love the end result!
5. Prepare Your Face
If you want to look radiant on your wedding day, remember to spend the week (or at least day before) exercising a good moisturizing routine. Keeping your face and lips moisturized will ensure smooth and even application of makeup, less creasing, and a polished finish. And, again, make sure you clean your face. Most makeup artists say that the problem area where they're most likely to encounter leftover makeup is around the eyes. Wipe your eyeliner carefully with makeup removal pads, or use a lightweight oil to clean your face of excess, stubborn mascara and makeup.
6. Plan For Small Touch Ups
Most Makeup artists agree that on big days, like your wedding day, it's wise to plan a few moments later in the day to add a little powder to your look, blot any oil, and touch up your lipstick. So sneak away between your ceremony and your reception and give yourself a quick check. Your look will last, since the benefit of working with an makeup artist is that they are trained to make looks built for longevity. But a little maintenance will keep you fresh that much longer, and you know you want to look stunning for that first dance with your sweetie!
