How to prep uour skin before Makeup — Bridal Edition

Start with Consistency — Weeks Before Wedding

I always recommend beginning your skin prep at least a month before your wedding. You don’t need a 12-step routine or expensive serums — just consistency. Stick with gentle cleansing, daily hydration, and sunscreen. That alone will do more than any last-minute miracle mask.

If you’d like to do a professional facial, schedule it 2–3 weeks before the wedding. That gives your skin time to recover and glow naturally without any redness or sensitivity.

The Makeup Trial — More Than Just a Test Run

• Understand how your skin reacts to makeup
• Match tones for both natural and camera light
• Test wear time and comfort
• Align on your look and wedding vibe
• Reduce stress by knowing exactly what to expect

The Night Before — Go Light, Sleep Deep

The night before your wedding should feel calm, not rushed. Cleanse gently, apply your regular moisturizer, and avoid anything too rich or new. Resist the urge to exfoliate, mask, or overdo it. No late-night experiments. No last-minute scrubs.

If you’ve been hydrating your skin well, it will show. Get rest. Drink water. Try to sleep on a clean pillowcase. I’ll take care of the rest in the morning.

Final Thoughts

So give your skin love. Be kind to it in the weeks leading up to your wedding. Drink water. Avoid stress (as much as possible). And when in doubt, keep it simple.

With the right skin prep and the right artist, your glow will be effortless, timeless, and 100% you.
