Top Tips for Flawless Makeup Application on Your Special Day
Step 1 // Do Your Research!
Research is essential when choosing True Colors Beauty Co. or any on-site hair and makeup provider. Treat it like selecting any other wedding vendor: ask questions, explore options, and make sure you feel comfortable with their team. If their answers don’t put you at ease or they seem pushy or unprofessional, keep looking—an easygoing, skilled team helps you feel calm on your big day.
Expand your search beyond your usual salon. While your regular stylist may be excellent, bridal beauty is a specialized skill. Seek recommendations from friends, family, or coworkers; check reviews on platforms like Google; and explore testimonials or real wedding photos on their website to see their style and experience. Bridal shows can also be a great way to meet teams in person and get a feel for what’s available.
Step 2 // Give Yourself Time
Especially if you’re planning a destination wedding, give yourself plenty of time to plan for hair and makeup trials. Trials can take up to two hours, so schedule one well in advance. Book a few months before your wedding for the best results—this way, your skin tone, texture, and hair length are more likely to be the same as on the big day.
Bonus Tip: If possible, schedule your trial before your engagement photos. This allows your hair and makeup artist to style you for those photos, giving you a sneak peek at how everything will look on camera.
Step 3 // Bring Photos + An Open Mind
Bring a variety of hairstyle photos, but keep an open mind. Your dream look might not be the perfect match for your hair length or texture. For instance, a half-up, half-down style might suit you better than a traditional updo. Experiment with different styles to find the one that complements you best—sometimes you’ll be surprised!
Step 4 // Bring Your Accessories and a Fresh Face
Just like a dress fitting, your hair and makeup trial should include everything you plan to wear: bring your veil, headpieces, flowers, or barrettes so you can see the complete look. Wear a white shirt to get a better sense of how makeup will look with your dress. For hair prep, wash your hair the day before your trial with minimal conditioner, and avoid over-styling. Arrive with a clean, exfoliated face, with only moisturizer (if your artist approves). Take photos to document the look, as this will be a helpful reference for your stylist on the wedding day.
Step 5 // Aim for Your Best Self
Your wedding look should be an elevated, beautiful version of you. Wedding makeup is typically heavier than everyday makeup to ensure it holds up against tears, heat, and countless photos. Talk to your stylist about your normal makeup preferences and your ideal bridal look. Your wedding day isn’t the time to try something drastically new; instead, focus on enhancing your natural beauty for the camera.
Step 6 // Understand Travel Fees
True Colors Beauty Co. offers travel within a 30-mile radius with bridal packages, with an additional charge of $1.00 per mile beyond that. For destination weddings, be prepared to cover travel costs, which may include flights and accommodations if out of state or overseas. The team has experience with weddings across the East Coast and internationally, including locations like Puerto Rico and Guatemala.
