Only the best trials!

Hello, Ladies!

How lucky am I to have such wonderful clients?! I am fortunate enough to "work" everyday with amazing women on one of the most important days of their lives! Some who have been planning since childhood...

With that in mind,let's chat about the makeup trial!! To ensure that you have an AMAZING trial, I do recommend that you bring the following to any makeup trial (be with me or any other artist):

*Photos of your ceremony and reception venue.
*Photos of your wedding dress. If you will be changing into a reception dress, please bring an image of such with you!
*Any images of makeup that you like from magazines (keep in mind the post-editing work that is done on a majority of print) or other lovely brides on Facebook/Twitter. Know what you like about each image.
*If you have had your hair trial, bring an image of that as well.
*Wear the right color to your trial! If you wear a fushia shirt to your trial, but are wearing an ivory gown, the "look" will feel off!!


Questions that a FABULOUS makeup artist will ask you:

*How do you want to FEEL when you look into the mirror on your wedding day?!
*How would you describe your wedding?
*What concerns do you have for your skin/makeup?
*What features do you LOVE? What are your least favorite?
*How would your friends and family describe your look? (They know you best!!)
*How will you be wearing your hair? Hair design and color plays a huge role in the outcome of your completed makeup look.
*Venue...I always visit my bride's wedding sites to know the lighting!
*Who is your photographer?! If I haven't worked with a particular photographer before, I study their work...Photography is a huge investment! A great makeup artist will enhance even the best photographer!!

Don't hesitate to ask as many questions as you need during your trial?! There are never too many questions! Likewise, a great makeup artist will ask LOADS of questions.
