Tips on finding your favourite Bridal Look

ABIA and its makeup artists are big supporters of enhancing your natural beauty! You'll most likely find makeup inspiration on Instagram, but please do note that many insta-posts do have filters and ring-lights etc.

So, when you're speaking with your Bridal Makeup Artists and showing them your inspiration, be sure to also send them a photo of yourself where you loved your makeup, this way they will apply your favourite look, ensuring you feel your most confident.

A Bridal Makeup Trial is a must ladies!

A trial is the best way to find your favourite bridal look, it also gives you a chance to bond with your make-up artist before your actual wedding day. At your trial, you can discuss what you like and what you don't like, and request little adjustments that you won't have to address the day of your special day - which makes for a smooth morning!

Many brides generally book in a trial on the day of their Hens Party or Bridal Shower, that way you can get an idea of how you look in photos too!

A good professional bridal makeup artist specialises in long-wear wedding makeup, as well as understands skin tone and texture, face shapes, and the products and techniques to enhance it. Dont be afraid to let your makeup artist know if you dont like the result, as it gives both you and them a chance to experiment with different styles and looks until youre happy.

Personality plays a part.

In addition to their expertise, you also want to be sure your wedding makeup artist is easy to get along with (they are one of the first people you see on your Wedding Day), responsive, punctual, organised and dependable.
