A simple checklist for your bridal makeup morning, so you arrive ready and the schedule stays on time.
The morning of your wedding should feel calm. These simple steps help your makeup go smoothly and keep you on schedule.
The night before
- Lay out your outfit, dupatta, jewellery and accessories together.
- Moisturise, drink water and sleep early.
- Keep your artist's number and the venue address handy.
On the morning
- Come with a clean, fresh face. Skip heavy creams and oils.
- Wear a button-up or loose top so it can come off without touching your hair or makeup.
- Eat a proper breakfast and keep water close.
- Wash and fully dry your hair as advised by your artist.
- Keep the room ready: A well-lit space near a socket, with a chair, is ideal.
Plan the order
Decide who is getting ready before you, so your own makeup is never rushed.
