If you take one thing from this article, it's that you should really book a makeup trial. So many brides don't think it's important and it's just another expense, but trust us, it's worth it. We've heard plenty of horror stories of how brides didn't have a test, then ultimately hated their makeup, spent the morning of their wedding crying, and then had to do it themselves or bring on their bridesmaids for assistance. The morning of your big day should be as stress-free as possible. It's also important to build up trust with your makeup artist; after all, this is a very important day in your life.
You can now go into department stores and have trials at the counter — some even have special bridal rooms where you can enjoy champagne whilst choosing what lippie you'll have. In our opinion, the best bridal beauty brands are Charlotte Tilbury and Bobbi Brown; they've probably done tens of thousands of brides and bridal parties between them. If you're wanting something classic, these two should be your go-to brands.
