Planning a destination wedding? Here is what to confirm with your makeup artist about travel, timing and weather.
A destination wedding adds a few extra things to plan. With a little preparation your makeup can go smoothly even far from home.
Confirm these early
- Artist availability for the full trip: Share all your dates and functions.
- Travel and stay: Discuss travel, accommodation and timings in advance.
- Schedule: Create a function-by-function timeline with makeup start times.
- Number of people: Bride, family and bridesmaids need time too.
Think about the weather
Beach, hills and desert venues all affect makeup. Tell your artist the location and time of day so the products can be chosen to suit it.
Do the trial at home
Complete your trial before you travel so the looks are finalised and there are no surprises at the venue.
Keep a small kit
Pack blotting papers, lip colour, a compact and pins for your outfit and jewellery.
