The Bridal Makeup Trial
We strongly recommend a trial session at least 4–6 weeks before the wedding. This is where your dream look comes to life. You’ll see exactly how your chosen makeup sits, photographs, and wears over time. Adjustments are made as needed to ensure complete satisfaction.
On-the-Day Bridal Makeup
On your wedding day, Claire arrives promptly at your location equipped with a full kit, lighting, and a calm presence to start your day smoothly. We allocate plenty of time for the bride, bridesmaids, and any other guests receiving makeup, ensuring no one is rushed.
