Bridal make-up

Bridal make-up has to do three things at once: last from morning to night, look right in the room, and photograph well. The last one is the hardest — a camera does not see what the eye sees, and a face that is flawless in person can read as washed out in a photograph.

So we work with products that behave under flash and textures that do not cause flashback. The result is polished rather than theatrical: you still look like yourself, on your best day.

What is included

• Skin prep for the condition it is in on the day — hydration and priming.
• The full face, brows, eyes and lips.
• Setting in layers, not one spray at the end.
• Adjustments for the light at your venue.

Allow around two hours so that nothing has to be hurried.

With a trial, or without?

We only do the day itself without a trial when we already know what suits you, or when the booking is last minute. If you have the time, book the trial — we settle shades, intensity and staying power on your own skin, so nothing has to be guessed on the morning. A trial also shows up any reaction to a new product, which is the last thing you want to meet on the day of the ceremony.

How to prepare

• Come with clean skin and no make-up.
• Have your brows done a few days ahead rather than on the wedding day.
• Do not try a new cream or exfoliant in the last few days.
• If you want lash extensions, have them done a few days in advance.
• Bring a lipstick and we will pack it for your touch-ups.

Where we do it

Normally at the salon in Vinohrady. Make-up at your own venue can be arranged individually — write to us and we will go through timing and availability.
