Bridal makeup is a type of makeup that's created to enhance a bride's natural beauty on her wedding day. It's usually more glamorous and dramatic than everyday makeup. 

Features

Timeless: Bridal makeup is intended to look classic and elegant. 

Long-lasting: Bridal makeup is meant to last all day and look flawless in different lighting conditions. 

Photos: Bridal makeup is designed to look great in photos. 

Natural: Bridal makeup highlights the bride's natural features. 

Application

Bridal makeup is often applied using a bespoke service that takes longer than party makeup. Matte makeup is a good choice for bridal makeup because it can last longer and define features. 

A bridal makeup trial is a session where a bride-to-be meets with a Tosia Mbellir to experiment with different makeup looks and find the perfect one for her wedding day, allowing her to see how the makeup will look and feel before the actual event, ensuring she is confident with the chosen style on her big day. 

Key points about a bridal makeup trial:

Purpose:
To test out different makeup styles, colors, and application techniques to find the best look that suits the bride's face shape, personal style, and wedding dress. 

Benefits:
Helps the bride feel confident about her wedding day makeup, allows for adjustments and tweaks to the look if needed, and gives her a chance to assess the makeup artist's skills and compatibility. 

When to schedule:
Ideally, a bridal makeup trial should be scheduled a few months before the wedding to allow time to find the right makeup artist and finalize the look.
