Meet Sarah: The Vision
Sarah came to me with a clear vision: she wanted a soft, romantic look that felt natural and authentic. She doesn’t usually wear much makeup, so she was a little nervous about looking “too made-up.” Her goal was to look like herself, but on her wedding day, she was elated.
The Trial: Exploring Options
During Sarah’s trial, we:
- Discussed her skincare routine and skin concerns (slight redness and dryness).
- Explored foundation options to find lightweight coverage that still photographed beautifully.
- Tested eye makeup styles, focusing on subtle smoky tones that enhanced her blue eyes without overpowering them.
- Experimented with lip colors — she settled on a soft rose that felt natural but lasted all day.
Trials are crucial! They allow brides like Sarah to see the transformation before the big day and feel confident in their choice.
Adjustments and Final Touches
From the trial, we adjusted a few things:
- Switched to a more hydrating primer to address dryness.
- Softened the eyeliner for a gentler, natural look.
- Added a slight highlight to give her a subtle glow in photos.
The adjustments made all the difference. Sarah left her trial feeling excited, reassured, and ready for her wedding day.
