HAIR & MAKEUP
Beauty Pointers!
β Hair is best styled with clean (washed day/night before), product-free or limited product in hair.
β IF applying serum/oils, avoid applying to the scalp area
β Hair should be completely dry (BLOW DRY, not air dry, and avoid sleeping with damp hair), unless your plan on a blowout. Anyone with damp hair runs risk of being behind unless your service includes a blowout.
β Part your hair where you think you’d most likely want to style it for the wedding day
β Leave hair down to avoid creases or flatness from a hair band
β Do not apply SPF moisturizers to your skin. You may still moisturize with a non SPF product. SPF causes makeup to fall off quicker.
β Wear a button up shirt or a robe so you donβt mess up your makeup or hair when changing into your dress.
β Brush your teeth and put in your contacts prior to beginning your beauty.
β It is helpful if each bridal party member has an inspirational image prepared to guide them.
β Lipstick will not last all day & night. Pack a touch up lipstick or gloss for reapplication.
β Pluck / maintain eyebrows before the wedding day
β Donβt forget to shave any areas that you want to be smooth/clean
