Wear something white
“It is very important to show your make-up artist an image close to the one you want to achieve on your wedding day. With that being said, a white top is the perfect choice. The end result might be influenced if you are wearing colorful clothes and that could possibly make it difficult to make a final decision about your bridal makeup style”.
Style your hair
“Even the perfect bridal makeup can’t do much for you when your hair is not styled… On the day of your bridal makeup consultation appointment, if you are not able to have your hair professionally styled then at least try to style your hair by yourself in order to better evaluate the final look”.

Take care of your skin
“However expensive and reliable a makeup product could be, it cannot have the expected result on dehydrated and untended skin. If you don’t have the chance to have a facial before your bridal makeup consultation, you should do a light facial peel and then apply a hydrating face mask at home the day before in order to prepare your skin for the makeup”.
Show as many photos as possible
“Before visiting the makeup artist for the bridal makeup trial, you should collect pictures (example from Pinterest) representing make-up styles you love. This is one of the wedding makeup tips that could be very helpful for the makeup artist to have a better understanding of your dream wedding makeup and then recommend makeup looks that suit you the most and create the ideal bridal look for you”.

Describe how you do your own makeup
“The makeup artist is probably meeting you for the first time and has no idea about your makeup habits. Try to describe how you enjoy looking on your nights out, in order to help the makeup artist understand your style and find a look that is close to your preference”.
Book your makeup consultation after you have chosen your wedding dress… or at least have decided on a wedding dress style
“Even if you haven’t chosen your actual wedding dress yet, you should have at least decided on the style of the gown you will be wearing on your wedding day. Your face is the key to your total bridal look. It has to match the overall look and be part of your styling”.
Take with you a friend you trust
“Someone who knows you, cares about you and knows your habits and personality, may help you the most when it comes to make a decision about your bridal makeup. On the other hand… if you are going to take a group of friends with you to your consultation… that might turn into a disaster! Too many opinions can definitely be confusing and certainly not helpful”.

Trust the makeup artist
“The makeup artist is a professional and is capable of recommending bridal makeup styles that suit you and also rejecting makeup styles that aren’t a good fit. Listen carefully to the advice the makeup artist is offering you”.
Get some rest
“This is a very important day for your overall wedding look, so make sure you are well rested on the day of your bridal makeup consultation, be cooperative and enjoy the makeup trial as much as possible!”
Relax
“Stress is always distracting and you don’t need it during your makeup consultation appointment. Relax and let the professionals do the best they can for you”.

Be yourself
“Don’t change what your future husband fell in love with: Your personality and your own style. Therefore, ask for the best possible version of yourself and don’t try to be transformed into someone else. Communicate with the makeup artist about the bridal makeup style you wish for on your special day and that will significantly help achieve the perfect look for you. Be as specific and descriptive as possible and let the makeup artist create the bridal look you always dreamed of!”
