Tried And Tested

I’m really nervous about having my make-up done for my wedding day as I’m normally quite fussy about my look. What can I expect from a trial?

Ruth says: I can totally understand how some brides might be nervous about their make-up, but please don’t be. Personally, I think a trial this the fun part of organising the wedding as this is where you can try different styles until you achieve your desired look. It also gives you a chance to get to know your MUA. I always send out the following information, so my brides know exactly what to expect and also what I need, allowing me to do the best I can for them...

• It’s a good idea to wear an old, pale coloured top as this will reflect the light, or wear an off-the-shoulder top.

• At the trial I need to set up in front of a window with the daylight shining onto your face. I like to stand while doing make-up and will need space for a director’s chair. A table would also be helpful for me to put some of my kit on.

• Please ensure you’re not wearing any make-up and have a cleansed face. Don’t add moisturiser, as I’ll choose this for you depending on the foundation I use and your skin type.

• It’s good to have a couple of pictures of you wearing natural, day make-up and an evening look as this gives me an indication of the intensity of make-up you’re comfortable with.

• Please start collecting pictures of looks you like. These pictures need to be realistic and represent a model with similar colouring to yourself. The more you can tell me about your wedding the better the make-up will suit your vision for the day.

• I like to give plenty of time to my brides at the trial so please allow two-and-a-half hours maximum, but it may not take this long.

• I feel it’s also best to not bring anyone with you to a trial or if you have children or pets then please ensure they’re out of the area so you can sit back, relax and I’ll do the rest.
