Your bridal trial is the perfect time to see how your makeup will look and feel on your wedding day, but your skin prep starts long before you sit in my chair.

The good news? You don’t need an elaborate routine. A few simple habits can make a beautiful difference to how your wedding makeup sits and wears.

Here are my bridal skin prep essentials:

Skincare: Keep your routine consistent and choose products that work for your skin.

Moisturiser: Well-hydrated skin creates a smoother base for makeup.

SPF: Make sunscreen part of your everyday routine.

Planning a tan? If you’re having a spray tan or self-tan for your wedding, trial it before your bridal preview so we can see how your makeup works with your chosen tan shade.

Hydrate: Aim for around 2L of water a day, unless your healthcare professional recommends otherwise.

Exfoliate: Gentle exfoliation once a week can help keep your skin feeling smooth and fresh.

And remember, your skin is unique. What works for one bride may not work for another, so always speak with a qualified skincare professional about what’s right for you, especially before introducing new products or treatments.

Your wedding makeup starts with the skin underneath it. Start these simple habits today and let’s get your skin feeling its best for your bridal trial and wedding day.

When you run out of storage on your iPhone and need to go through all the photos in your phone to make room for future pics you come across some wonderful makeup memories. Photos of Corrine’s wedding a few years ago.

Beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin.

These are simple steps you can start incorporating today.

Whether you’re the bride, a bridesmaid, or a wedding guest, taking care of your skin in the months leading up to the big day will help your makeup look smoother, last longer, and photograph beautifully.

Simple habits like exfoliating once a week, drinking plenty of water, moisturising daily, wearing sunscreen, and having your brows professionally shaped can make a huge difference to your final makeup look.

Healthy, hydrated skin creates the perfect canvas for flawless makeup, helping you look and feel your best from the first photo to the last.

Save this post to your wedding planning checklist and share it with your bridal party so everyone is glowing on the big day!

Megan was the very first bridesmaid to have her makeup done. The only touch ups she needed 4 hours later was her lipstick.
