Important Things To Know About Hair & Makeup
From the perfect hairstyle that complements your dress to the makeup that highlights your best features, every detail makes you shine. So, here are a few important things you should know about your hair and makeup for your wedding day.
First and foremost, it's crucial to plan ahead. Schedule your hair and makeup trials at least 2 to 4 months before the big day. Hair and makeup trials are so important. This allows you time to test out your looks, with the help of your stylists before the wedding, to find what makes you feel most beautiful and confident. Consider your wedding style/design, and your dress details when choosing your look. A romantic, bohemian wedding might call for loose, flowing curls and natural makeup, while a glamorous, black-tie affair could warrant a sleek updo and bold, dramatic eyes. Make sure to communicate with your stylists on the things you are loving about the look and the things you might like to tweak. Remember, your hair and makeup artists are professionals and want to help you create the perfect look for your wedding day so providing honest feedback at your trials is key.
Don't forget to think about the weather! Humidity, wind, and rain can all affect your hair and makeup. Talk to your stylists about options for long-lasting, waterproof products and long lasting hairstyles to ensure you look is flawless from the ceremony to the last dance.
It's also wise to keep your skin and hair in top condition leading up to the wedding. Regular facials, a good skincare routine, and hair treatments/regular trims can make a world of difference. Stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep to ensure you’re glowing from the inside out.
Now, let’s talk about inspiration photos. Pinterest photos can sometimes be misleading, as they may feature AI-generated elements or wigs/extensions, etc. to create a certain look. To draw the best inspiration, ensure that the images of brides you choose have similar hair color, texture, and length to your own, as well as makeup looks that match your skin tone, texture, and face shape. This will give you a much better idea of how a specific look, will look on you. If the look you are trying to achieve require things like false lashes and hair extensions, make sure to talk with your stylists about what items might be needed and what to buy in order to create that perfect look for you on your wedding day.
On your actual wedding day, make sure you have a mini touch up kit handy. Include essentials like extra bobby pins, a mini hairspray, blotting papers, and touch-up lipstick. Keep this touch up kit in a cute Bridal purse or have your MOH bring these items along for you. This way, you can easily refresh your look whenever you need it.
Finally, remember that your wedding day is about celebrating love and joy. While looking your best is super important, feeling your best is also essential. Embrace the moments, smile often, and let your happiness and joy be your most beautiful accessories.
Happy Planning!
