5 Tips for A Successful Bridal Makeup Preview

A bridal makeup and hair preview is essential for your big day. This session will give you first-hand experience working with your stylist on your dream look. A makeup preview will enable you and your stylist to discover what works best regarding your unique skin and hair, your vision, and your overall style. This post will break down our 5 tips for your bridal makeup and hair preview. 

Wear a Similar Color and Neckline. 

Showing up to your bridal preview dressed in a similar shade of clothing to what you will wear on your wedding day can be extremely helpful. This extra step will give you a clearer picture of how you can expect your color palette to look on the day of. You can also see how your final look will be captured in photos to ensure it matches your overall vision. 

Coming in with a similar neckline to what you plan on wearing on your big day will help you get a clearer idea of how your hair will fall once styled. Doing both will ensure a cohesive look. This will also give you and your stylist a clear picture of your desired look. 

Schedule Bridal Makeup and Hair previews Back to Back:

Scheduling your bridal hair and makeup previews back to back will check two items off your to-do list and help you get an idea of what to expect. Seeing how your hairstyle can complement your makeup choice and vice versa will allow you to see the complete picture of your overall appearance. 


Also, scheduling your previews in this manner will allow you to understand how long each process will take. Knowing what to expect timing-wise will help ensure your wedding morning runs smoothly. 

Bridal Inspiration: 

Taking the time to research a few different makeup and hairstyles prior to your preview will help you narrow down your dream look. Instagram, Pinterest, or your favorite beauty blogger might help you to find a look you love. Once you’ve found your inspiration, bring it to your preview. Take the time to highlight what you like and don’t like about each photo so your stylist can help bring your vision to life. 

How to Prep Your Skin 

When booking your makeup and hair preview, ask your stylist how best to prep your hair and skin for your session. You also want to ensure that your hair is the length and color you plan to have on your wedding day. Similarly, if you plan to get a spray tan before your wedding, try booking a session before your preview so that your skin will have a similar tone. 

Ask Questions and Give Feedback. 

Your stylist wants you to feel like the best version of yourself on one of the most important days of your life. Be sure to give honest feedback and ask questions to feel confident and beautiful when it all comes together.
