One of the biggest misconceptions I see is brides thinking they need every detail of their wedding makeup figured out before they inquire or book.

You don’t 👀

The truth is, most brides don’t know exactly what they want. They know how they want to feel. They know what they gravitate toward. And sometimes they know what they absolutely don’t want.

Honestly, that’s usually enough.

My favorite previews aren’t necessarily the ones where a bride arrives with 50 inspiration photos and a detailed description. They’re the ones where we collaborate.

You show me what catches your eye. You tell me what feels like you and what doesn’t. I ask questions, offer guidance, and together we refine the details.

And sometimes, the bride who can’t quite describe her dream look ends up with the most “her” makeup of all.

You don’t need all the answers before you book.

You just need to find an artist whose work aligns with how you want to look and feel, then trust the process from there 🤍

This special moment happened in my chair over the past weekend and boy it had me emotional as well!

My bride’s aunt was so excited to get her makeup done — I don’t think either of us were ready for the end reveal 🥹

I don’t just care deeply about helping my brides feel and look their best, I care about their favorite people sitting in my chair too. 🫶🏻

I loved everything about Kaitlyn’s bridal look ✨

She wanted something very soft, polished, and still completely her, and this ended up being the prettiest balance of light, glowy, ethereal makeup without ever feeling too much. Just fresh skin, soft definition, and that dreamy bridal feel that photographed so beautifully for her lake wedding.

Truly one of my favorite kinds of bridal looks to create.

Save this if you’re looking for polished, soft pink bridal makeup inspiration.
