What should I wear to a bridal makeup trial?

The goal of a makeup trial is to see how the look works with your overall bridal style, so your outfit matters. Choose a top that mimics your dress colour, especially if your dress is white, ivory, or champagne. A plain top in that shade will help you judge whether the foundation and lip colour suit your skin tone against the fabric. The neckline matters too. If your dress is strapless, wear a strapless top. If it has a high neck or sleeves, pick something similar. This helps you see how the makeup frames your face with the actual silhouette.

Arrive with a clean, bare face, or at most a light moisturiser. If you wear makeup daily, remove it before the appointment so the artist can work on fresh skin. Bring a photo of your dress from the front and back, plus any veil, earrings, or necklace you plan to wear. If you have a colour palette for your flowers or bridesmaids' dresses, bring that as well. You want the makeup to complement the whole picture, not just your face. Also, wear your hair back or in a way that shows your full face, so the artist can shape your brows and blend your foundation properly.
