Makeup trials help offer piece of mind before and on your wedding day. It is very common that a bride to be or Bridal party will not be entirely sure what looks suits them best and may even want to experiment with a few different looks over some trials.
The trial is time for you and any of your bridal party to trial the wedding makeup, think of it as a dress rehearsal, its time for you to experiment with what look suits you best and go away and make a decision with no pressure at all, you may discover that the look you thought you wanted you don’t want at all.
The trial usually takes place around 1-3 months before your wedding day, not always however. There are no limits to how many trials you have or how many people have the trial, the trial will usually take place at the home of the makeup artist or the bridal party’s.
Trials are charged per person and a deposit is required on booking, Makeup trials can be booked for as many people as necessary, typically the bride and one of the bridesmaids is the easiest option.
It is very important to bring with you some inspirations if you have any, images of dresses, colour schemes, flowers to be used in the wedding day are helpful.
Trials for a bride usually take around 60-90 minutes, this is to allow room to get to know my clients and to listen to what you want and experiment.
On the day Natalie will travel to you at a suited time agreed between both makeup artist and bride to complete the wedding makeup and any bridal party makeup with also enough time for touch ups, the makeup will usually take place at the wedding venue or the home of the bride to be.
Makeup will usually commence with the bridesmaids and other guests first with the bride being second to last in order to have enough time for the bride to get in her dress, apply perfume etc Natalie will be on hand until it is time for the bride to leave to make sure everyone looks fresh and pristine. All makeup including lashes will be provided by Natalie on the wedding day and only special requirements from the bridal party will be needed by them should there be any. Timing for the bride’s makeup is up to an hour and around 45 minutes for bridesmaids and others.
Only the best products are used on the wedding day, this list is not an exhaustive list, products most commonly used are, MAC, NARS, YSL, Bobbi Brown, Huda Beauty, Charlotte Tilbury etc If you do wish for me to use your own specific product on a certain area of makeup this can be arranged, all lashes are provided and are yours to keep.
Weddings can be a busy business, as such, at first contact as soon as you decide you wish to book in for a trial you will need to pay a deposit to hold your wedding date. Please note until a booking fee is received your booking is not secure.
All booking fees are non-refundable.
The remaining balance is due one week before the wedding date, payments can be made via bank transfer or cash.
Travel is charged at £0.50p a mile after the first 10 miles from the Artists postcode which is B43 6QA to wherever your getting ready on the day. A calculation can be made for you if the location is more than 10 miles.
