Hi Bride & bridal party!

I’ve compiled the list below to help with your preparations for the wedding day.


 

Set-up

  • Please have a clean dining-height table of reasonable size for our makeup & hair equipments.

  • This should be located close to power outlets and preferably with access to natural light.

 

Hair Prep

  • Wash hair with shampoo twice the evening before. Concentrate on the scalp the first time, the followed by the lengths of your hair.

  • Blow-dry straight to eliminate frizz or for curly hair, you may use a hair straightener near the roots.

  • Only apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Skip this step if you have silky, slippery hair and avaoid supermarket produts such as Pantence, etc.

  • If you have oily scalp or thin hair, shampoo the morning of the appointment following the instructions above.

  • Hair must be clean and dry for styling.

  • Additional prep work to blowdry wet or curly hair or will incur a charge of $100+gst per person billed to the Bride.

  • Bring along 1-2 hair reference photos if not discussed prior.

  • Humidity, sweat and steam will effect freshly styled hair. Hence, please shower and complete any ironing or cooking over the stove beforehand.

  • Wear a buttoned-up shirt or robe for easy removal and changing.

 

Skin & Makeup

  • Cleanse and exfoliate with a gentle, non-foaming product followed by serums, moisturiser and lip balm.

  • Reduce Vitamin-A or Retinol based products to no more than twice a week.

  • To help reduce puffiness in the morning, apply hydrating eye & face mask fresh from the fridge.

  • Only use products that you are familiar with to prevent possibilities of skin reactions close to the wedding day.

  • Please notify me as soon as possible if you are feeling unwell, have any allergies or sensitivities.

  • I am more than happy to work with your personal products if you have any favourites or sensitive skin.

  • For contact lens wearers, please apply before makeup application.

  • Shape and tidy brows at least 5 days prior. Makeup will not adhere on freshly waxed skin.

  • If getting a spray tan, please schedule 2 days prior to the event and lightly spray the face.

  • Bring along 1-2 makeup reference photos if not discussed prior.

  • Lips will often need to be re-applied especially on a long day, so please bring along a lip colour for touch-ups.

  • Long lasting makeup starts from great skin so remember to have plenty of water, sleep well and avoid prolonged sun exposure leading up to the day ;)

  • Although you may not feel hungry, please have some food and brush your teeth before makeup application.

 

Etiquette

  • It will be greatly appreciated to refrain from using mobile phones during makeup applications.

  • For brides - take this opportunity in the makeup and hair chair for a quiet moment to relax before the big day ahead. Delegate any tasks required including answering your phone to your bridal party.
