Absolutely not. Interstate/overseas brides who cannot make it to our studio can also send us inspiration photos and a selfie, so we can prepare and visualise their desired bridal look and know exactly what kind of look they desire to wear on the big day.

The secret to a glowing finish is hydration. To get your skin “makeup-ready”, please follow these steps:

• Leading up: book monthly facials and exfoliate the skin once or twice a week. Use a moisturising face/eye mask weekly and drink plenty of water.
• The morning of: Arrive with a clean, makeup-free, moisturised face.
• The No-Go go list: Do not apply fake tan or use sheet masks on the wedding morning (these can cause patchiness or residue on the skin). Please avoid a lash lift if you plan on wearing false lashes. The lash lift creates a steep angle that can prevent false lashes from sitting flush against your lash line.

Pro tip: Wear a button-down shirt or a robe so you don’t have to pull a tight T-shirt over your fresh makeup.

For a style that stays all day, please arrive with clean, dry hair.

• The night before: shampoo twice, condition once, and blow-dry as smoothly as possible.
• Product-free: Do not apply any oils, serums, or styling products after washing.
• Optional: if your hair is very thick or frizzy, you may book a professional blow-dry the day before.

Pro tip: We recommend wearing a loose button-up shirt or robe to avoid disturbing your hairstyle when changing. For low buns or styles, avoiding collars is very helpful.

Extended services and touch-up packages are available on request.

This is perfect if you like fresh lips before walking down the aisle or if you would like us to create a second look for your reception or evening transformation.

PS: We are more than happy to create a personalised touch-up bag for you too (lipstick, powder, and oil blotting paper, upon request).
