Bridal makeup trends are not like fashion or editorial makeup trends in that, we typically see more natural, flawless and timeless looks. You don’t want to be too edgy on your wedding day and regret it when you look back at your wedding album in 10 years. I always opt for a polished soft look, no matter what the trends are. The same rules can apply for hair.

As a makeup artist it’s my job to work with my client. Does she wear makeup often? Does she require lots of coverage to hide blemishes, scars, dark circles or ache? Does she have a specific look in mind? You get the idea.

Wedding makeup can be very stressful for both the bride and the artist. The stakes are high. So always do a trial a few months before the wedding date (or on a special day like your bachelorette party, engagement photos or shower). It really helps both people communicate their vision better.
