You will need to book your make-up well in advance (6 to 9 months or even earlier for the popular wedding months) to avoid disappointment, as dates book out very quickly.

Glow Studios recommends a pre-wedding trial run to ensure that you are completely happy with the results, and guarantee there are no surprises on the day. This is usually arranged 4-6 weeks prior to the wedding day, and involves a one-on-one consultation with the bride and includes make-up application.

We suggest you collect pictures of several different looks that appeal to you and bring them to your trial sitting. You may find inspiration from the style or theme of your wedding or even your gown. It's ideal to bring along fabric swatches of your gowns, plus pictures of your intended flower arrangements, hair styles and even accessories.

We can experiment with different looks and colours, a subtle daytime look isn’t the only make-up option. Even if you don't usually wear cosmetics, this is one day you really should make the exception. You should also be aware of photographic considerations, understanding highlights and shading is a must, especially when it comes to black and white photography. We will also offer to take a before and after photo of your trial make-up, so you can view the results instantly. That way you can be sure to feel confident with your final "look".

So, when planning your wedding or special occasion, don’t overlook your make-up, it’s just as important as your hair and outfit. A professional make-up artist will know how to play down your flaws and emphasise your best features, to ensure you're as beautiful as can be. Allow us to adapt our make-up design techniques and help reveal your desired look in a totally comfortable, stress free environment.
