Map and contact →This option covers a trial at a separate appointment and your make-up on the wedding day. It is what we recommend to every bride who has the time — the wedding morning is no place for experiments.
What happens at the trial
We put aside as much time for the trial as for the day itself. Together we go through:
- the look you want and, just as usefully, what you do not like on yourself,
- foundation shades against your skin, checked in two different lights,
- how strong the eyes and lips should be — the threshold for photographs is not the same as for an “evening” face,
- how it wears: keep the trial make-up on for the rest of the day and write to us in the evening about what survived,
- whether any product does not agree with you.
That last point is why we recommend a trial even to brides who know exactly what they want. The morning of the wedding is not when you want to discover a reaction to a new product.
The wedding day
On the day we rebuild the look we agreed at the trial, adjusting only for how your skin is on the morning. Allow two hours so that nothing has to be rushed. You will go with a lipstick for touch-ups through the day.
When to book the trial
Ideally four to six weeks before the wedding. Much earlier and your skin may still change; much later and there is no room to adjust anything.
Plan brows and lash extensions for the same window — both a few days before the wedding, not on the morning of the ceremony.
How to prepare
- Come to the trial and to the wedding day with clean skin, no make-up.
- Bring photographs of looks you like, and of looks you do not. The second set is often more useful.
- Bring the colour of the dress, or a photograph of it — it shapes the choice of shades.
- Do not try new skincare in the last few days before the wedding.
Before you book
- Your booking is confirmed automatically once you pay the 25% deposit or the full amount online.
- You can move or cancel your appointment up to 72 hours in advance in your account. If something unexpected comes up, please get in touch.
Before you decide
Frequently asked questions
When should I schedule my make-up trial?
Ideally, four to six weeks before the wedding. Any earlier, your skin might still change, and any later, there will not be enough time for potential adjustments.
What should I bring to the trial?
Please come with clean skin, free of make-up, and bring photos of results you like — and especially those you do not like, as these are often more useful. The colour of your dress or a photo of it would also be helpful, as it influences the choice of shades.
Is a trial really necessary?
We recommend it to every bride who has the time, even those who know exactly what they want. Besides shades and intensity, the trial helps determine the longevity of the make-up on your skin and any potential reaction to a new product — and you certainly do not want to discover that on the morning of your ceremony.
Can I leave with the make-up on after the trial?
On the contrary, we encourage it! Wear it for the entire day and then let us know in the evening what lasted and what did not. Based on this, the make-up's setting will be adjusted on your wedding day.
How much time should I set aside on the wedding day?
Two hours, to ensure there is no rush. The make-up application will replicate what we established at the trial, simply adjusting to your skin's current condition.
