Makeup by Kendra Leigh

POV: your senior photos are booked, your outfits have been chosen, and everything is coming together… Now it’s time for the part that ties it all together: a glam look that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and like the best version of yourself in every shot.

We’d love to be part of this with you (or your senior). It’s such an exciting milestone, and we’re always honored to be included in moments like this! 💄

Save this for the week before “I do…” 💍

1. Get your final number locked in so catering, seating charts, rentals, and all logistics are accurate. Last-minute changes are stressful and expensive, so this is one of the biggest details to finalize early in the week.

2. Make sure everyone is on the same page. Hair, makeup, photographer, planner, venue, DJ, and catering should all have the same schedule, so the day runs smoothly without confusion or delays.

3. Take care of any remaining balances ahead of time so you are not dealing with envelopes or last-minute transactions on your wedding day. Prep tips in labeled envelopes so everything is ready to go.

4. Bride and groom, wear your shoes around the house to soften them up and avoid blisters or discomfort. A little prep here goes a long way for a full day on your feet.

5. Choose someone you trust to handle questions, vendors, and small issues on the big day. This keeps you out of logistics mode so you can stay fully present and enjoy every moment.

Bailey, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear you felt your best and that your bridesmaids had such a great experience too. It means everything that you felt comfortable, confident, and taken care of throughout the day.

Kendra Matthies truly puts her heart into every bride and loves creating a calm, fun, and uplifting experience just as much as the final look.

𝟐–𝟑 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠:
Book your bridal trial! 💄 Please come with a clean face (no moisturizers, lotions, toners, etc.) We also recommend wearing a white blouse so we can get the most accurate feel for your wedding day look! 🤍

𝟐 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞:
Treat your skin to a facial so you’re extra glowy! ✨ At this point, avoid trying any new skincare products or makeup to prevent irritation or breakouts.

Tidy up your brows (waxed, threaded, or tweezed) along with any other facial hair for the smoothest makeup application! 💆‍♀️ After this, avoid doing anything else to your face.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞:
