Your makeup will only look as beautiful as the skin underneath it. This guide is here to help you achieve smooth, glowing, and healthy skin so your makeup applies flawlessly and lasts all day.​
​
6–12 Months Before Your Wedding: This is the perfect time to start building healthy skin habits. Book a consultation with an esthetician if you have concerns like acne, texture, or dark spots. Start a simple routine: cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF every day. Introduce new products slowly to avoid irritation. Stay consistent! This matters more than expensive products!
​
3–6 Months Before: Now we focus on maintaining and enhancing your glow. Continue your routine without constantly switching products. Consider monthly facials if your skin tolerates them. Add gentle exfoliation 1–2 times per week. Drink plenty of water and prioritize good sleep.
​
1 Month Before: At this stage, consistency is key. Do not try new skincare products. Keep your routine simple and hydrating. Schedule your last facial at least 2 weeks before the wedding. Avoid anything that could cause breakouts or irritation.
​
​1 Week Before: Less is more as your big day approaches. Focus on hydration—both your skin and body. Avoid peels, extractions, or harsh treatments. Stick to your trusted routine only.
The Night Before: Prep your skin gently. Cleanse and moisturize as usual. Use a hydrating mask only if it’s something you’ve used before. Get a good night’s sleep.
Wedding Day: Let your makeup artist take care of you! Arrive with a clean, fresh face. Avoid heavy oils unless instructed. Drink water and eat something light. Relax—you’re in good hands!
What to Avoid - Trying new products close to your wedding. Over-exfoliating or overusing active ingredients. Picking at your skin. Skipping sunscreen.
Final Note: Healthy skin is all about consistency, balance, and care. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty so you feel confident and radiant on your wedding day.
FAQ
- What makes you a Luxury Makeup Artist? - Outside of the luxury products I supply in my kit, I strive to also provide a luxury experience for each bride. My education as an esthetician even furthers my ability to create high performance makeup looks tailored to you. I pride myself in being able to provide my bridal clients makeup that will not only photograph beautifully, but will last all night.
- What should I wear to my bridal trial? - I always recommend wearing white to help create the vision of your wedding day look. Come with a clean fresh face. If able, scheduling your hair trial the same day is a wonderful way to see everything paired together. Please avoid bringing guests if possible. I enjoy spending trials connecting with my brides one-on-one before wedding day.
-Will my look include lashes? - ALL makeup looks (outside of jr. bridesmaids) include strip lash application custom to your personal eye shape and desired look, individuals can be applied when desired.

- Do you require a deposit?-Yes, I require a deposit of to hold your wedding date! It is then put towards your total invoice.​
- I’m nervous about booking right away, Can I book my trial and give a deposit at a later date? -Due to high demand we are unable to reserve your date past your trial without a deposit. I often have 3-5 inquiries per wedding dates during prime wedding season and highly recommend deciding that day to ensure you are able to book with me.​
- Will my makeup last all night? What if I cry?-Absolutely. A true professional makeup application will last the full duration of your event. Not only are the eyes and skin prepared with the proper skin care and priming products, but you will be set and finished with professional powders and sprays that seal in and help fix the makeup in place. All the products in between the prepping and sealing are chosen for their longevity and high performance in all tear/sweat and weather conditions. All bridal makeup applications include a touch-up kit for emergencies.​
