As a professional make up artist servicing the Yarra Valley Lisa Clarke of Lets Get Gorgeous has always advised clients to have a trial 4 – 6 weeks before their wedding.
Recently I had a bride coming from Queensland for her wedding here in the Yarra Valley. Thankfully the gorgeous bride made the time and wanted a trial.
On the afternoon of the trial we discussed sensitivities and products used, and of course the look the bride was aiming for. All went well and the bride left looking amazing (her hair trial was done at the same time so double glam!)
The next day I received a call, the bride had reacted to one of the products used around her eyes & was doing a very good imitation of a prize fighter! These were products used regularly on other clients as well as myself so I was comfortable in using them.Thankfully I had a lovely visit with the bride a couple of days later where we tried a combination of her own natural and organic products coupled with products from my kit.
The end result was a very beautiful (and happy) bride minus the prize fighter eyes and a very happy makeup artist.
The lesson learned here was EVERY bride should have a trial, it’s worth spending that extra hour or two, to avoid the prize fighter face!
