How To Prepare For a Preview Session.

Providing Everything You Need

Let's get your skin and hair ready for the wedding. If you have color treated hair you must use professional lines of products. Most commonly brides like to grow their hair for their wedding. Professional products will help repair and strengthen your hair to do so.

Favorite Products:

Purology Hydrate,

Acidic Bonding Redken Line

Purology Hydrate

Hair Mask Amika Super Food,

Loreal Repair,

I recommend getting trims 6-8 weeks out from your wedding. Also adding a hair mask in one time a week.

Check out my amazon favorites for suggestions on products and accessories.

What to bring:

If you have a clip or accessories you wish to have styled.

A lipstick if you have a shade you like.

Inspo pics this is easier for hair than makeup as most photos for makeup are edited to blur out pore and imperfections.

What to wear

If you have a shirt with a similar neck line that is great for our photos we will take after your trial run.

Who to bring

I recommend coming to a trial alone, the more ladies in the room the more opinions we may have to consider. I love to use this time to connect with my bride on what she truly is looking for in her wedding look.

Inspo pics

As much as I love Pinterest for all the inspiration this is not the best place to look for realistic hair and makeup, most photos are blurred to make skin appear flawless. I recommend to check my instagram in the highlights I try to break down to make it easy to follow.

Look for hair color similar to yours. Same for makeup inspo find someone with a similar skin tone and eye color for the most accurate inspiration.

Skin prep

Personally I have struggled with rosace and cystic acne since I was a teen. Hydration is one of the keys to healthy skin. Cleanser La Roche Moisturizer Clinique Moisture Surge Complete system check out The Ordinary I love to add in a lipscrub weekly Lush makes an awesome one

At home prep for getting your hair and makeup done.

Hair prep :

The day before- Double shampoo your hair, that's right wash it one time and then wash it again.

Condition only your ends.

Skin prep:

I recommend dermaplanning for anyone looking for flawless skin.

On event days your artist will cleanse and moisturize your skin.

Please be sure to remove any prior makeup, using a makeup wipe is not typically enough to remove mascara.
