As a photographer, I’m lucky enough to have so many knowledgeable, kind, and professional wedding industry friends – like Kirstie Archetti of Royal Beauty! We have had the privilege of working together for many weddings, engagement shoots, and boudoir sessions. Kirstie is a pleasure to work with, a wizard with her makeup brushes, and a true beauty industry professional.
So today, I’m sharing 5 bridal makeup tips right from the makeup artist herself!
#1 – Avoid getting waxed right before your wedding day.
If you’re going to get waxed or have any hair removal treatment, Kirstie recommends doing it at least a week before your big day. Sometimes a little bit of skin is removed during waxing, which can lead to difficulty in your makeup holding in those areas. Having a wax done early is also a good idea to give any wax-related breakouts time to clear up before your big day arrives.
#2 – Avoid having any intense skincare treatments right before your wedding.
Peels, Microdermabrasion, & laser treatments should not be on your wedding week to do list. Kirstie encourages brides to start a good skincare regimen around 6 months before a wedding. If you are able, regular facials are also fantastic to begin early in your engagement.
#3 – Highly recommended having a bridal trial.
A bridal trial is the perfect time for you to get to know your makeup artist and communicate your expectations for your wedding day. Kirstie wants to hear all about your desired look and she loves seeing your Pinterest, inspiration photos of other people with a similar skin tone and eye color as you. Another pro tip – have your bridal trial done the day of your engagement photos! That way you can see how your makeup photographs.
#4 – Be open to trying lashes!
Kirstie & I cannot stress enough – wearing lashes really does make a huge difference in photos! They open the eyes up, making them pop, and they give your natural lashes a fuller look. You can always try them at your trial and then decide if you would like to wear them.
#5 – drink lots of water and take care of yourself! Your skin and body will thank you!
We love seeing happy and healthy brides! While you are in a whirlwind of wedding planning, don’t forget to prioritize yourself. Stick to your skin care routine, drink water, and exercise. You deserve to not only look your best but also feel your best on your wedding day!
Thank you so much for taking the time to check out these makeup tips and thank you to Kirstie for sharing them! Whether we are a part of your wedding or not, Kirstie and I hope you feel like the most beautiful bride on your special day!
