Trials, Prep, And Skincare

A bridal makeup trial is an essential step in your wedding beauty journey. It’s your chance to discover the latest bridal skincare and makeup trends, and to explore different looks that suit your style. During the trial, you can feel inspired by new techniques and products, and see if you and your luxury makeup artist are a good fit.

We recommend saving photos of makeup and hair styles you love to show your artist during the trial—this helps communicate your vision clearly. Your pre-wedding skincare plan should start at least 3–6 months before the big day, focusing on hydration, gentle exfoliation, and targeted treatments for your skin type.

A patch test is required for all new products to ensure there are no allergic reactions. For at-home prep, we recommend a curated list of products including a gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, nourishing moisturizer, and SPF.
