The Essentials of a Makeup Trial
What is a makeup trial and what does it consist of?
The makeup trial is the time when the future bride and the
makeup artist meet prior to the wedding day. It is the time when the
artist examines your features and skin complexion and creates a look just for
you, based on your personal style and skin complexion.
Why is it important?
Trials are not mandatory, but I strongly encourage all
brides to get one; it will simply give you peace of mind. A trial avoids
unpleasant surprises, and it ensures that the makeup process runs smoothly on
the day of the wedding. Every bride should have a vivid of what she is
going to look like on her wedding day.
“Beauty is really in the eye of the beholder”
Every woman’s definition of “beautiful” is not the
same. Part of the artist's task during the trial is to decipher what the
bride considers “pretty” in makeup terms. Sometimes the bride has
difficulty articulating what type of makeup style she likes in terms of
colour and intensity, and for this reason, I encourage them to bring some photos
for inspirations.
Other benefits of a trial:
You test the makeup, its lasting power, and after wearing it
for a little while, you’ll know if you will be comfortable wearing it.
You test false eye lashes; you will know if they are the
right size for your eye shape and look, and after wearing them for a little
while, you’ll know if you’re going to wear them for a few hours. This is
especially important for brides who have never worn lashes.
The artist records the colors used so it’s easier to
replicate the look on the day of the wedding.
Take a picture with your own camera! Once you see a few
photos with and without flash, you will get an idea of how the makeup
photographs. Makeup plays a big role in photography! You don’t want
to look washed out or too made up in photos.
After your makeup trial:
Try not to attend events at which you know you will be
photographed with your makeup look (such as bridal showers), and don’t publish
your look on social media sites. It’s a good idea to keep your bridal makeup
look a surprise just like other details of your wedding.
If the bride has any concerns or questions about her makeup
after her trial session, she should contact the artist. Some minor
concerns can be addressed via email or with a simple phone call. If there
are too many issues and the bride doesn’t feel comfortable with the look all
together, it might be a good idea to schedule another trial.
