Picture-Perfect Bride: 5 Reasons to Do a Wedding Makeup Trial

Imagine this, it’s your big day, you’ve never met your makeup artist and you’re hoping she arrives on time. Unfortunately, she is 20 minutes late, pushing the schedule and now you’re going to be late. This is just another stressor added to the list. She starts off by doing your makeup, but it just doesn’t look right, something is off, but… it’s too late to change anything. Instead of those beautiful emotions you should feel while walking down the aisle, you feel embarrassed, you just don’t feel like yourself, and you start to question if people are seeing what you are….

Okay, yes this is a dramatisation of the worst thing that could happen, but for some, it’s a reality. Let’s not make this your reality. Check out some reasons why you should consider getting a makeup trial done.

Peace of mind

Yes, this is the biggest one (especially if big events stress you out). The purpose of a trial is to get to know the makeup artist. Get comfortable with the artist and create trust. You see if they're the right fit for you. And if things go well on the trial, it’s one less thing to stress about on the actual day.

Ensure your look

It’s a time to experiment with what look would be right for you. Not liking something? Let’s change it, let’s work together and come up with the perfect look for your wedding. Test your makeup out in different lighting, or better yet, use this makeup for your pre-wedding photoshoot.

False lashes

You’ve never worn false lashes, but it’s your wedding day and you want to look extra special with some thick, luscious lashes. Let’s first test them out on the trial. Lashes can be deceiving, they won’t look too big in the packet, but it might be too big on your eyes. And then.. it’s too late, you need to get dressed and leave, feeling uncomfortable.

Test them out on the trial day, keep them on throughout the day and see how you feel in them. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to get comfy with your new look.

Your skin

Skin is a tricky thing. If you think your skin is oily, you use products for it and the makeup ends up looking a bit flakey. By doing a makeup trial the artist can catch this early and suggest certain products and change the before routine to accommodate your skin for the best outcome. I want you to look your absolute best with gorgeous glowing skin when you’re walking down the aisle.

Timing

It’ll give the artist a heads-up on how long the makeup application will take on the actual day. Therefore, being able to give a detailed timing list for the schedule.

Now, not everyone needs a trial. Do you know the makeup artist? Have you gotten great word-of-mouth reviews from your peers about the artist? Are you going for a super simple natural look? Maybe you’re just a laid-back kinda gal and makeup isn’t a big priority. Well, these are some of the reasons I’d say you don’t need a trial.

However, if you’re stressed out Stacy, who knows exactly what she wants and won’t settle for less. Then a trial is definitely for you. Even if you aren’t Stacy, a trial can be super fun!
