The trial is not just about doing makeup and hair. We are learning about your personality, comfort zone, preferences, skin, and style.

We are earning your trust and reading your body language. We are discovering what makes you feel beautiful and what makes you feel unsure.

The trial is where the relationship is built so that on the day of the event, it feels calm and not hectic, trying out new things.

We want to understand how your skin reacts, how quickly it absorbs products, how long the effects last, what needs to be defined or rebalanced, and we take photos and notes along the way. This is both a strategy and a work of art.

It is not a test appointment; it is a longer, intentional session designed to prepare for the wedding day, not be compared with other artists.

There are two main probabilities you would wish for a trial prior to your event;

1). You are unsure about the Makeup Artist and wish to trial them prior to booking them for your event.

2). You are happy with the chosen Artist and want to see it all come to life along with the hair. Pair it all up and see your vision come to life making sure you are going to be happy with your desired looks and styles. This is a great time to bring along your hair adornments/veils/crown etc, try the earrings/jewellery on. Wear clothing in line with your dress colour so it is a more realistic match of how it will all look when put together.

2 months prior is most relevant. Your hair length and skin toning (ie not having a trial in Winter when you are having a Summer wedding). It means your ideas are most likely decided upon - as in dresses/florals/ etc. 1 year out - a lot can change, so we generally don’t prefer to do a trial that far out.

Please see the other options available if you are not wanting a full trial.

Apologies, we don’t do trials on Fridays or at weekends.

That is absolutely fine!

This is ultimately your choice for sure!

For some people they just are happy for us to turn up on the day and go with the flow…… trusting us on the day and you will also be fine :)

Please see below this section are the different options, and we kindly ask you to fill out a questionnaire just to ensure we meet the brief on the day.

Please come wearing an outfit as close to the colour you will have on the day. It helps us to see the reflection of colour and how your skin tonings work.

If you are planning on being tanned on the day - be tanned for your trial.

Don’t wear makeup to your trial.

Bring pics and inspiration, a swatch of fabric from your dress(es) anything you think will help us to visualise and understand your vibe or theme.

I highly recommend a trial if you are indecisive or have a few different looks in mind. We spend time with you at the trial making sure you are 100% happy and well prepared for the day. We can see your hair colour and length etc, and plan for anything. We recommend trials are done closer to the day of your event. Plse bring veil or any other hair adornments with you to the trial.

We spend the time with you at the trial stage to ensure everything on the day is 100%.

We also do a mini plan for your day; discuss timelines, what other people would like on the day, confirm venue and make sure we have everything absolutely tied up.

We discuss pre-wedding prep, what to do with hair the night prior etc.

Anything else that needs to be covered, the trial is the perfect time.
