The night before the trial, many brides wonder whether they should do something: a face mask, a new serum, a hair treatment. There is no need. The best thing is to arrive with clean, dry skin and hair.
Why it is best to arrive without creams, serums or oils
Preparing the skin is part of the trial itself, and I take care of it. If you arrive with your own cream or serum already on, the products I apply go on top, and two formulas designed separately may not be compatible with each other. With clean skin, I know exactly what I am working on.
The same goes for the hair: no hair serum and no oil. Clean, dry hair is the base the hairstyle is built on.
The one exception to clean, dry hair
There is one exception. If you want a blow-dry finish, that loose hair with movement achieved with a brush and a hairdryer, you should arrive with your hair freshly washed and still damp, because that style begins with the drying itself.
What to bring to the trial
The one thing you must bring is a photo of your dress. It shows me the neckline, the fabric and the style, so the makeup and the hair are designed for that dress and not for another.
Bring the headpiece, the veil and any accessory you want to wear too, even your earrings. A hairstyle changes a great deal with a long earring beside it or a veil pinned behind it, and it is far better to see that at the trial than to discover it on the wedding morning.
Everything else is up to me, and you have nothing more to prepare.
