From choosing inspiration photos to preparing your skin and planning touch-ups, a little preparation helps you feel more confident about your look.
Share your ideas, all of them
Be open about what you love and what you don’t. “I never wear dark lipstick” or “I hate my hair behind my ears” is just as useful to us as a folder of inspiration photos.
Choose a look that still feels like you
Our advice is always the same: pick a look that enhances your natural beauty. Years from now you want to look at your photos and see yourself on one of your very best days, not a stranger.
Give your skin time
Great bridal makeup starts with skin that’s calm and hydrated, and that takes weeks rather than days. Keep your routine simple and consistent, and keep new products and treatments well away from the wedding.
Plan your touch-ups
- Keep your lipstick and a small powder or blotting papers close by.
- Ask someone you trust to carry them for you and to tell you when you need them.
- Think about the long days: heat, sea air, hugs, tears and dancing.
Save this for your wedding planning, or send it to a bride-to-be who needs it. When you’re ready, we’d love to hear about your bridal vision.
