How to Prep Your Skin for Wedding Day Makeup

By Just a girl who loves skincare as much as she loves bridal makeup!

Your wedding day is not just any day; it’s one of the most beautifully captured moments of your life! To achieve that radiant bridal glow, it’s essential to start with some fabulous skin preparation. Let’s dive into how you can get your skin absolutely wedding-day ready—straight from the heart of a bridal makeup artist who’s witnessed countless love stories unfold!

1. Start Early with a Skincare Routine

Begin a consistent skincare regimen at least 6 months before your wedding. Cleanse daily, exfoliate weekly, and moisturize every day. SPF is a must—even in winter! If have no idea where to start, I highly recommend booking a facial with your local esthetician! Wink wink!

2. Hydration is Key

Water is your best friend. Well-hydrated skin looks plumper, smoother, and holds makeup beautifully.

3. Schedule Monthly Facials

Facials help maintain your skin’s glow and address concerns like dryness, dullness, or breakouts. Just don’t schedule your last one too close to the big day—about 10 days before is perfect.

4. Don’t Switch Products Right Before the Wedding

Trying a new serum or exfoliant days before your wedding? Please don’t. Stick to what your skin already loves. In fact I do not recommend adding anything new to your routine 30 days prior!

5. Get Enough Sleep (Yes, Really)

Rested skin is unmistakable. Strive for at least 7 hours of sleep each night—your skin will appreciate it. Planning a wedding is tiring, and it's crucial to ensure you sleep well during the week leading up to the event and the night before. Assign those last-minute tasks to others so you can concentrate on getting your beauty sleep.

Prepping your skin sets the stage for makeup that lasts all day and photographs flawlessly. Ready to glow down the aisle? Let’s schedule your trial and create a look that’s totally you.
