✨ Wedding Day Makeup: DOs & DON’Ts for the Bride & Bridal Party

✔ DO arrive with a clean, moisturized face.
No leftover makeup, no mascara, no lash glue.

✔ DO follow your makeup trial notes.
If your artist suggested specific products or prep, stick with them.

✔ DO hydrate well the night before and the morning of.
Good skin = better makeup.

✔ DO exfoliate gently 1–2 days before (if that’s normal for your skin).
This helps makeup sit smoothly and prevents texture.

✔ DO groom brows ahead of time.
Tweezing, waxing, or shaping should be done a few days before—never the morning of.

✔ DO bring your inspiration photos.
Soft glam, matte, dewy, natural—be clear on your vision.

✔ DO tell your artist if you have sensitivities or allergies.
We can adjust products as needed.

✔ DO bring your lip color for touch-ups.
We can recommend shades if you need help choosing.

✔ DO wear a button-down top or robe.
It prevents makeup transfer when you change clothes.

✔ DO be honest about what you liked (or didn’t love) from your trial.
We want you to feel PERFECT.

✘ DON’T arrive with heavy moisturizer, SPF, or oily skincare the morning of.
They cause makeup to slide and break apart.

✘ DON’T try new skincare treatments right before the wedding.
No facials, peels, or new products that could cause irritation.

✘ DON’T apply self-tanner to your face unless your artist approves.
It can cause patchiness and color mismatch.

✘ DON’T curl your lashes before arrival.
Over-curling makes lashes difficult to apply and blend.

✘ DON’T use waterproof mascara before your appointment.
It creates buildup and prevents flawless application.

✘ DON’T show up sunburned or with fresh tanning mishaps.
Avoid tanning the day before.

✘ DON’T drink alcohol before makeup is done.
It increases redness and can impact skin texture.

✘ DON’T change your skincare routine 48 hours before the wedding.
The week of your wedding is not the time to experiment.

✨ Wedding Day Hair: DOs & DON’Ts for the Bride & Bridal Party

✔ DO arrive with clean, completely dry hair.
Freshly washed the night before is best unless your stylist gives other instructions.

✔ DO follow your stylist’s prep instructions from your trial.
(For example: no oils, no heavy conditioners, no wet hair.)

✔ DO wear a button-down shirt, robe, or something that doesn’t pull over your head.
This prevents ruining your finished style.

✔ DO bring all accessories to your appointment.
Veil, clips, combs, tiaras, flowers—anything going in your hair.

✔ DO make sure extensions are clean, dry, brushed, and ready to install.
(If you’re using clip-ins.)

✔ DO show your stylist photos of your dress, makeup inspiration, and trial look.
This helps us make everything cohesive.

✔ DO communicate any changes from your trial.
If you want tighter curls, more volume, or a different part—we want to know!

✔ DO eat and drink water beforehand.
Wedding mornings can get busy quickly.

✔ DO arrive on time.
We work on a tight schedule to ensure the entire party is finished on time.

✘ DON’T come with wet or damp hair unless your stylist specifically requests it.
Extra drying time can delay the whole timeline.

✘ DON’T use heavy oils, leave-in conditioners, or smoothing treatments before your appointment.
They prevent curls and texture from holding.

✘ DON’T apply heat to your hair the day of.
No flat irons, curling irons, or blowouts—we need your natural texture to build long-lasting styles.

✘ DON’T cut or color your hair right before the wedding without talking to your stylist first.
This can drastically change your style outcome.

✘ DON’T forget your veil or accessories.
They’re essential for finalizing your look.

✘ DON’T arrive with day-old hairspray or product buildup.
Fresh, clean hair always styles best.

✘ DON’T switch your shampoo or hair routine last minute.
Stick with what your hair responds well to.

✘ DON’T consume alcohol before services begin.
It can make the process more difficult and delay timing.
