HAIR & MAKEUP SCHEDULE:

Beauty Pointers!

– Come with inspo photos for both hair + makeup!
– Please arrive with clean [completely] dried hair that is washed the day before and blow dried smooth (no flat irons please, it will affect ability to style).
– If anyone is using extensions, they need to be washed with sulfate free shampoo, light conditioner on the ends and blow dried smooth prior to the wedding in order to use them.
– IF applying serum/oils, avoid applying to the scalp area
– Part your hair where you think you’d most likely want to style it for the wedding day
– Leave hair down to avoid creases or flatness from a hair band
– Faces should be cleaned & makeup free including any left over eye makeup/mascara
– Do not apply SPF moisturizers to your skin. You may still moisturize with a non SPF product. SPF causes makeup to fall off quicker.
– Wear a button up shirt or a robe so you don’t mess up your makeup or hair when changing into your dress.
– Brush your teeth and put in your contacts prior to beginning your beauty.
– Lipstick will not last all day & night. Pack a touch up lipstick or gloss for reapplication.
– Pluck / maintain eyebrows before the wedding day
