FAQS.
TRIAL
Makeup trials help offer piece of mind before and on your wedding day. It is very common that a bride to be or Bridal party will not be entirely sure what looks suits them best and may even want to experiment with a few different looks over some trials.
​
The trial is time for you and any of your bridal party to trial the wedding makeup, think of it as a dress rehearsal, its time for you to experiment with what look suits you best and go away and make a decision with no pressure at all, you may discover that the look you thought you wanted you don’t want at all.
​
The trial usually takes place around 1-3 months before your wedding day, not always however. There are no limits to how many trials you have or how many people have the trial, the trial will usually take place at the home of the makeup artist or the bridal party’s.
​
Trials are charged per person and a deposit is required on booking, Makeup trials can be booked for as many people as necessary, typically the bride and one of the bridesmaids is the easiest option.

It is very important to bring with you some inspirations if you have any, images of dresses, colour schemes, flowers to be used in the wedding day are helpful.

Trials for a bride usually take around 90 minutes, this is to allow room to get to know my clients and to listen to what you want and experiment.
