Boudoir makeup is more than just lashes and lipstick—it's a reclamation. It's the moment you look in the mirror and say, 'She's still in there.' Whether you're glowing in soft blush or smoldering in smoky eyes, the right glam doesn’t just prepare you for the camera—it reminds you who you are."

Your wedding day look starts long before you walk down the aisle. A bridal makeup trial is your chance to test and perfect your dream glam—so there are no surprises when the big day arrives. In this blog, I’m sharing exactly what happens during a trial, what you should bring with you, and how to make sure you leave feeling confident and radiant. ✨

Your bridal makeup should do more than look beautiful—it should feel like you.

Whether you dream of a soft, romantic glow, a bold red lip with vintage flair, or a full-glam look that turns heads, your wedding makeup should match your personality, dress, and the vibe of your big day.

In this blog, I break down the top 3 bridal makeup styles—Soft Glam, Full Glam, and Vintage—and help you figure out which one fits your wedding vision best.

Your everyday makeup might get you through brunch—but your wedding day demands more. Bridal glam isn’t just a heavier version of your daily routine—it’s long-wear, photo-ready, and personalized to your skin, your style, and your venue.

From custom prep to camera-tested products, your bridal makeup is designed to last through tears, toasts, and everything in between.

Your wedding day is filled with love, emotion, and non-stop moments—you need makeup that can keep up. That’s why I include a luxury Bridal Touch-Up Kit with every Luxury Bridal Experience. Inside, you’ll find high-end essentials like the Caudalie Mini Beauty Elixir and the Hourglass Mini Vanish Airbrush Powder—products chosen for their performance, elegance, and skin-friendly formulas. These are more than just pretty extras—they’re insurance for your glam, keeping you radiant from “I do” to the last dance.

A boudoir shoot isn’t just about lingerie and pretty pictures—it’s about confidence, self-love, and reconnecting with your sensuality before your wedding day. As a makeup artist who works closely with brides, I’ve seen how empowering this experience can be. It’s not just a gift for your partner—it’s a gift for you.

One of the most important parts of your wedding day is the morning—and as your makeup artist, I’m here to make sure it starts off calm, on time, and beautifully. I always recommend working backward from your ceremony and building in enough time for each service, touch-ups, and photos. A great beauty timeline isn’t just about logistics—it’s how we protect your peace before the big moment.

Bridal makeup over 40 is about glow, grace, and celebrating your natural beauty. From hydrating skincare to luminous foundation and soft, lifted eyes, the key is enhancing—not hiding. Whether it’s your first wedding or a second chance at love, your makeup should feel timeless, elegant, and truly you.
