Writer's picture: Iren UrdovaIren Urdova

A makeup trial is typically scheduled before you’ve booked your wedding makeup artist. It’s an opportunity to test out the artist’s skills, products, and ability to bring your vision to life. Think of it as an audition—you’re determining if the artist is a good fit for your style and

preferences.


During the trial, you’ll discuss your ideas, share inspiration photos, and experiment with different looks to see what works best for your features. It’s a collaborative process that helps you decide if this artist aligns with your expectations. A trial is especially useful if you’re unsure of the makeup style you want or if you’re trying to narrow down potential artists.



What is a Makeup Preview?

A makeup preview happens after you’ve booked your makeup artist. It’s a more fine-tuned session designed to finalize the exact look you’ll wear on your wedding day. Since you’ve already chosen your artist, the focus shifts to perfecting the details rather than making big changes.During a preview, the artist considers factors like your dress, hairstyle, and accessories to create a cohesive look. This is the time to test the durability of the makeup, ensuring it holds up throughout the ceremony, photos, and reception. It’s also a chance to address any skin concerns or sensitivities that may need attention beforehand.


Why It Helps to Have Both

Having both a trial and a preview ensures there are no surprises on your wedding day. The trial allows you to explore options and find an artist you trust, while the preview guarantees the final look meets your expectations. Together, they provide a seamless experience, giving you peace of mind that you’ll look your best when it matters most.


Investing time in both sessions not only ensures flawless makeup but also gives you confidence and one less thing to worry about on your big day. After all, your wedding photos will last a lifetime—make sure you’re glowing in every single one!
