As bridal beauty experts in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, we are all about teamwork! This means we work with our brides every step of the way to create the perfect bridal look that reflects their style and personality. So, how do you prep for your bridal makeup consultation? Here are a few tips to get you started:
Part of our job during your bridal makeup consultation is to make sure we really get to know YOU and your dream wedding look. This means that before you even arrive in Cancun, we will probably ask you a lot of questions. After all, it’s your big day and we want you to feel and look absolutely beautiful.
So let’s go through some basic makeup questions we’ll ask you before we get started…
Personalized Bridal Makeup Consultation
First, your makeup artist will need to understand the intensity/style of makeup you’re used to and the type of look you’re going for…
Usually, brides want to look like themselves on their big day. But whether you’re someone who doesn’t wear makeup or you love wearing makeup every day, don’t be shy about sharing your daily makeup routine with your makeup artist. Your bridal makeup artist will suggest options to help you shine as the best version of yourself at your destination wedding. Be ready to answer questions like:
What look are we going for today? What is your comfort level with makeup?
What is your daily makeup routine?
Any special requests or inspo pics that you’re dying to try?
What color/texture do you normally prefer (tones, shimmer vs matte)
Are you an emotional person? Yes! the tears of joy can be a decisive factor for a bottom eyeliner, for example.
These questions are gold for your professional makeup artist and will help them have a better idea of what you like and what is your style. That way, they can tweak your bridal look to perfection and help you feel confident and beautiful on your wedding day.
Skin
Now it’s time to dive deep into our makeup expertise! With your input, your makeup artist will handpick the perfect products to match your skin’s needs and ensure your makeup is flawlessly fabulous!
Understanding your skin type is crucial in choosing the right products and techniques to achieve the desired result. For instance, if you’ve got oily skin, we’ll opt for mattifying products, while dry skin calls for extra hydration and moisture.
At this time, your beauty expert will be asking you…
Any allergies or skin sensitivities we should know about?
How do you prefer your foundation? (matte vs glowy – coverage level)
Features
Now let’s talk about bringing out your best features and creating that bridal glow that’s uniquely YOU! If we know your favorite features, we can focus on those areas.
So please don’t be afraid to share as much info as possible…
How do you like your eyebrows?
Simple brush strokes, perhaps filled with powder for a very natural effect, or with a pencil to sculpt them a little more?
Do you like to sculpt or plump your cheeks? How do you like your blush/contour?
Are you used to eyelashes?
Eyelashes are always in trend as they make your eyes pop. You will find individual ones, and strip ones, that are adaptable to every look…
Do you plan to wear eyeliner?
If yes, do you like classic black, subtle brown, a smudge, or maybe something bold and graphic?
Finally, for the lips, we always recommend bringing your fave lipstick for touch-ups. We’ll hydrate and contour them for that extra glam factor!
With your valuable input, we’ll create a bridal look that’s as beautiful as you are! Are you ready? Contact us and let’s get started.
