Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY MEETING WITH A MAKEUP ARTIST?
Before your appointment start collecting images of makeup looks you like and those you don’t. Words like “natural” and “elegant” mean different things to different people but a picture says it all. For your trial bring a top that is the same color & neckline as your dress. Make sure to notify your makeup artist about any allergies you may have or any previous reactions you’ve had to a specific product.
