Bridesmaids don’t always opt for a bridal preview, which means your makeup artist has just a few minutes on the wedding morning to understand your style and see what your skin needs.

Of course, we’re trained to do exactly that - but these 3 simple tips will help your makeup last longer, look more like you and make the whole experience feel so much more relaxed… rather than bringing up past makeup traumas 😬

And if you’re a bride, send this to your bridesmaids before the wedding day. A little prep goes a long way in helping everyone feel confident and ensuring the morning runs as smoothly as possible.

✨5 MISTAKES BRIDES UNINTENTIONALLY MAKE THAT CAUSE CAKEY MAKEUP…

Not wanting cake makeup is probably one of the most common things I hear from brides.

The truth? Cakey makeup is rarely the makeup itself, and more often that not it’s down to what’s happening before your makeup is even applied.

That’s exactly why I spend so much time talking about skincare, prep and why a bridal preview is non-negotiable. Every bride’s skin is different and what works for one person might not work for another.

My goal is to always work with your skin to ensure you still look and feel like you - just a more polished, radiant version.

“Makeup lasted all day, you are just incredible 🤍”

In 35-degree heat may I add!! 🔥🔥

This is exactly why I always say bridal makeup isn’t just about the products - it’s about the prep too.

Bukola came to me with two main concerns…
🤍 Could I match her skin tone perfectly?
🤍 Her skin was breaking out, so could I help with that?

After her preview she realised yassss I absolutely could match to her skin and omg I am obsessed with this colour match 😍😍

We also chatted through her skincare before the wedding and introduced azelaic acid to help calm breakouts and control excess oil.

The result? Flawless makeup that stayed put ALL. DAY. Even in ridiculous UK heat. 🔥

This is why your bridal preview is so much more than just choosing your makeup look. It’s where we troubleshoot, perfect your skin prep and make sure you feel completely confident before your wedding day.

Thank you so much for trusting me, Bukola. I’ve absolutely loved getting to know you over the last 10 months, and the hug I got from your mum after finishing her makeup genuinely made my day. 🥹🤍

If you’re worried your makeup won’t last, your skin is breaking out or you’ve struggled to find someone who can confidently match your skin tone, let’s chat. My bridal previews are designed to put those worries to rest 🤍

Yes I can do a winged liner with my eyes closed 🤭…

But I also LOVE creating a natural, radiant skin with the help of Maybelline New York skin tint - isn’t Victoria’s skin sensational! 😍
