Bridal hair and makeup are not simply services – they’re part of the story, enhancing every emotion, every glance, every captured second. This is beauty with intention. Artistry with heart.

Top 10 Tips Your Hair & Makeup Artists Wants You to Know
Your wedding day isn’t just about how you look, it’s about how you feel. And nothing sets the tone for your day quite like your morning prep. The gentle hum of anticipation, the laughter of your bridal party, and the quiet moment when you catch your own reflection and see a glowing bride looking back at you. That’s the power of great bridal hair and makeup. But beyond the beauty lies something even more important: trust, timing, and knowing what to expect.
As wedding beauty professionals, we’ve seen it all, from tearful first looks to windblown vows on a clifftop in Spain. And through it all, we’ve learnt what truly helps brides feel calm, confident, and radiant. Here are the key things your wedding hair and makeup artists want you to know before the big day.
1. Personalise your inspiration — make it about YOU
Pinterest boards and Instagram reels are fantastic tools for finding inspiration, but remember: bridal beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. What looks amazing on someone else may need adapting to suit your unique features, and that’s not a bad thing. It’s about celebrating your natural beauty.
When looking for hairstyles or makeup looks, try to find examples on people with similar skin tone, hair texture, and facial features. It’s important to set realistic expectations, for example, those voluminous Hollywood waves you pinned might be styled on someone with double the hair thickness. A skilled bridal stylist will help interpret your vision and tailor it to you, not just recreate a photo.
Tip: Bring 3–5 reference images you love to your trial, along with photos of your dress and any hair accessories.
2. Your makeup may be heavier than usual – and that’s a good thing
One of the most common surprises brides experience at their trial is how different their makeup can feel. Wedding makeup is designed not only to last all day but to photograph beautifully. Cameras, lighting, and bright venues can wash out your natural features, so your artist will use contouring, highlighting, and layering to create definition and dimension.
Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you’ll look overdone. A professional makeup artist will find the perfect balance between natural and camera-ready glam, so you still feel like yourself, just elevated.
Tip: Have your trial before your engagement shoot or hen party to see how the makeup wears and photographs.
3. Extensions aren’t always the answer
Hair extensions can add volume and length, and they’re fantastic for certain styles, especially half-up looks, beachy waves, or ponytails. But they’re not a requirement for every bride. If you’re planning a soft updo, your stylist may be able to use padding or clever placement techniques instead, creating the illusion of fuller hair without clips or extra weight.
An experienced wedding hairdresser will always advise whether extensions are necessary for your chosen style, and if so, help you choose the right type, length, and colour match.
Tip: If using extensions, bring them to your trial so your stylist can incorporate them seamlessly.
4. Spray tan and prep instructions are not suggestions
If your artist sends pre-wedding beauty or tanning instructions, follow them religiously. Whether it’s “shower after 8 hours” or “avoid oil-based products,” these guidelines are there for a reason. A beautifully applied tan can make your skin glow and give your makeup a flawless base, but only if the prep is right.
The same goes for skincare. Starting a regular routine months before your big day can vastly improve your skin’s texture, hydration, and tone, all of which enhance the final look.
Tip: Book a spray tan trial at least 4 weeks before the wedding to check how the colour settles on your skin.
5. Communication is everything
Your beauty team wants your honest feedback. Don’t hold back. It’s your day, and we’re here to make sure you feel your most confident self. If there’s something you’re unsure about, a lip colour, a curl pattern, or the way your fringe falls, say so. We won’t take offence. In fact, we welcome the dialogue.
The key to a stress-free morning is building trust and open communication well before the wedding. Share your insecurities, your favourite features, your dream aesthetic, we’ll listen, adjust, and make magic happen.
Tip: Don’t be afraid to tweak your look between your trial and the big day. Adjustments are perfectly normal.
6. The trial is a starting point, not a final draft
Many brides assume their hair and makeup trial will be an exact replica of their wedding day look. Sometimes it is, but it’s also a chance to refine your vision. You might realise you prefer a softer brow, or want a looser updo. That’s the beauty of the trial, it gives you space to test and tweak.
The best wedding artists expect and encourage changes. After all, your confidence is the goal, not just copying a photo.
Tip: Take clear photos and videos of your trial look in natural light. Review them calmly a few days later.
7. Great skin enhances great makeup
Investing in your skin ahead of your wedding is one of the best things you can do. Glowing, healthy skin creates the perfect canvas for long-lasting makeup. Start with a simple routine tailored to your skin type and stay consistent.
If you’d like to go a step further, treatments like dermaplaning, microneedling, or hydrafacials can boost hydration, smooth texture, and enhance radiance. But you don’t need a full spa regimen, just quality skincare and professional guidance.
Tip: Talk to a skincare professional 6–12 months before your wedding to create a personalised plan.
8. You don’t need flawless skin to look flawless
Perfection isn’t the goal, feeling confident is. Even if you wake up with a blemish or redness, a professional makeup artist has all the tools to conceal it flawlessly. Trust us, we’ve seen it all, and we’ve covered it all.
Your beauty isn’t defined by a spot or fine lines. It’s in the way you smile, the way you glow from within, and the joy you radiate as you walk towards your future.
Tip: Don’t stress over last-minute skin surprises. Let your artist take care of it — it’s what we do best.
9. Pack an essentials kit — just in case
While professional makeup is built to last, it’s always smart to have a few key items on hand for touch-ups. Lip colour, blotting powder, a mini setting spray, and tissues can help keep you fresh throughout the day. Your artist will recommend the right products during your trial.
Tip: Ask your maid of honour or planner to keep your kit nearby during the reception for quick access.
10. We’re here for more than just beauty
Your wedding beauty team isn’t just about lipstick and lashes — we’re also there to calm nerves, fix veils, fluff dresses, and hand you tissues when the tears flow. We’re often the first people you see that day, and we take that responsibility to heart.
More than anything, we want you to feel supported, pampered, and completely yourself, so that when you walk down the aisle, you’re not just beautiful… you’re glowing with confidence, joy, and love.
Tip: Let yourself relax and be taken care of. You deserve every moment of it.

When should I book my bridal hair and makeup artist?
It’s best to book your wedding hair and makeup artist 6–12 months in advance, especially if you’re getting married during peak season. This gives you time to explore styles, arrange a trial, and secure a date with your preferred professional. Popular bridal beauty experts often get booked quickly, so early planning helps avoid disappointment and allows for a smoother, more personalised experience.
Do I need a hair and makeup trial before my wedding day?
Absolutely. A trial allows you to test out your desired look and make adjustments before the big day. It also gives you and your stylist time to discuss preferences, hair types, skin tones, and the overall wedding aesthetic. Most brides schedule their trial around the same day as their hen party or engagement shoot to make the most of it.
How long does bridal hair and makeup take on the wedding day?
Bridal hair and makeup typically take between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the style. Additional time should be factored in for the bridal party, if needed. Your artist will create a clear timeline in advance to ensure a relaxed and well-paced morning. Being ready slightly ahead of schedule also allows time for dressing and final touch-ups.
