Make-Up Trial Run

Everyone wants to look thier best, wether it is a wedding, prom, or photo session. A make-up trial run, like a hair trial run, is a chance to do a run thru of your look before the big day. This ensures that you will achieve your desired look as well as work out any details such as specially requested products or services. Special Thanks to my February Simply Beautiful Bride Elizabeth and Studio Bash for the beautiful photographs! www.studiobash.com

So what really happens at a Simply Beautiful Make-Up trial run?

1. We meet for the first time and discuss your timeline. When does the make-up artist and massage therapist need to arrive? When (at the latest) do you and guest need to leave for your venue? Are there any special requests (flase lashes/ airbrushing)?
2. We discuss your look and how it can be achieved; This is a great opportunity to not only try new color and different application techniques but also to try new products. It is like a mini make-up lesson.
3. We conduct the make-up trial run

Foundation/ Powder/ Airbrushing (if requested)

Final Touches
And.... a double check to make sure everything is Simply Beautiful
The trial run is included in the cost for the bride as it is a necessity and always done to ensure that the bride is 100% satisfied and there is no doubt that she will be Simply Beautiful on her big day; For all other special events a trial run is option but highly recommended;

Here are some other tips for your trial run:
  • Your trial run is the interview for your makeup artist; Make sure you get along with your make-up artist and you communicate well.
  • Plan on at least 60 minutes or more for your trial run.
  • Review their current portfolio or photos.
  • Discuss your timeline for your special event as well as any impact it may have on other vendors.
  • Schedule your trial run at least 2-4 months before your special event.
  • Be sure to dicuss your skin tone and type as well as any allegies or medications.
  • Think about adding false eyelashes. Flase eyelashes make a tremendous differece in your appearance and pictures!
  • Be sure to include the entire bridal party to ensure they are perfectly made up for your bridal photos, this includes the mothers of the bride & groom...and the GROOM too!
