Yes! Makeup trials are not required but highly recommended. This is your opportunity to see exactly what you want and like, with my guidance.

Booking a makeup trial at least 3-6 months before your event is a smart move, but anytime works if I have availability!

Please note that a trial date does not secure your wedding date without a retainer and signed contract.

Your trial will typically last about 90 minutes, so you get a full consultation, incorporating your unique coloring and desired look. We’ll also talk about skincare and how to best prep your skin leading up to the big day. Last, we’ll review and confirm details for the day of the event, including timing, location, and headcount. It’s ok if you’re not sure of all the details yet, as I checked in with you several times before the big day. Most importantly, you’ll sit back, relax, and enjoy being pampered.

Yes, I’m a Connecticut licensed esthetician, Temptu Airbrush, and MAC Pro Certified. I've been doing makeup application and makeup lessons in CT for over 16 years

I purposely do my best to choose luxury, high-end, high-quality makeup brands that you might not normally get the opportunity to try or use on a daily basis. All are carefully tested on myself first and then used on clients over a long period of time, so that I’m confident in their wearability, breathability, and long-lasting, flawless wear. I also carry mineral makeup for those who request "clean makeup" or have sensitive skin.

Some of the consumer makeup brands used include:

• Chanel

• Yves St Laurent

• Giorgio Armani

• Temtpu Airbrush Makeup

• Rare Beauty

• Natasha Denona

• RCMA (makeup artist brand)

• Christian Dior

• etc.

My specialty and focus is on wedding makeup, as I don’t believe anyone can do everything the best.

I have a strong network of local talented hair stylists who travel that I trust and happy to refer you to. Just ask!

Due to high demand, it is highly recommended to book your wedding date in advance. However, it is not a requirement. My policy is that in order to hold your date, there is a non-refundable retainer due. Please note that a makeup trial does not hold your date.

Some clients choose to sign the contract during the trial, which is a-ok with me! As of the time of writing this, I’ve never had someone not book during a trial, so it’s whatever makes you most comfortable that works for me.

Once you sign the contract and pay the booking fee, your date is reserved, and you’re booked.

The majority of my clients don’t normally wear much, if any makeup on a daily basis, so I’m extremely comfortable helping to guide you through the process in a natural, subtle glam way. This is actually one of the things clients love most about my work. But don’t take my word for it; check out my CT bridal makeup reviews and testimonials and see what my past clients and brides have to say.

Airbrush makeup is lightweight and long-wearing, but it’s not for everyone. During your wedding makeup trial, I'll go over the pros and cons and together, we’ll decide which is best for you.

Stores like Sephora, Blue Mercury, Nordstrom, and Ulta can be a good starting point if you’re completely new to makeup (and beauty in general), but remember that these store associates are paid a commission to sell you their products. When you come to me, you’re getting:

Unbiased information: I don’t believe one makeup brand is the best for everything, and my job isn’t to sell you anything.

16 years of experience: Store associates also often have minimal training and real-world experience and may not be able to really understand how to address your unique needs.

step-by-step instruction: exactly what to do, which products and shades to choose with your best interest only in mind.

Experience: You not only learn, but also have a calm, relaxing, and fun experience that you can bring home with you to repeat on your own.
