Glowing Together: Wedding Day Beauty Secrets for Brides and Bridesmaids

1. Wardrobe: Please wear a button-down or tank top to make wardrobe changes easier and more efficient for you to get dressed after the makeup and hair services are completed.

2. Skin Prepping: On the morning of the wedding day,  please apply a hydrating mask before the make-up artist arrives. Hydrated skin works better with makeup than overly dry skin, as makeup will not apply evenly and cling to dry patches. Please come with a freshly cleansed face (makeup-free). You may apply toner and moisturizer beforehand if you like.

3. Hair Prepping:  Please shampoo your hair the night before and make sure your hair is dry when you start your hair session.  Please blow dry your hair, and please use only a minimal amount of conditioner. Too much conditioner and freshly washed/damp hair will not help curls and hairstyles stay all day.

The hair stylists understand that some people are adamant about showering and washing their hair on a daily basis. In this instance, we advise you to do so at least an hour prior to their arrival, as this will allow your hair to dry completely.

4. Hair and makeup for the bridal party: Bring inspo photographs showcasing the desired makeup looks and hairstyles you wish to achieve as a point of reference for your artists during your appointment.

5. Lip touch-up for the bridal party: Bridesmaids and mothers, please remember to bring a lip color with you to touch up your lips on the wedding day.

6. Skin/makeup Sensitivity and Hair concern: If you have very sensitive skin/eyes. Please bring your own sponge, makeup brushes, and cosmetics to your assigned artist at the session so we can use your kit to prevent any allergic reactions. If you have any skin, makeup, or hair concerns, please feel free to address them to your artist at the session. If you have a specific cosmetic, foundation, blush, lip color, false lashes, skincare, and/or hair product/ hair tools that you would like to use for the wedding day, please feel free to bring it to us at the session.

7. To prevent the tension and delay of hair and makeup service, most MUA will request all services to be provided in the same room/ same location so we can save the time to re-pack and re-set up our equipment to different rooms as it will delay at least 15 mins to set up our hair and makeup equipment.
