WHERE DO TRIALS TAKE PLACE & WHAT DAYS?

Trials take place at a stunning light filled property in Leopold on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Trials take place on Mondays – Thursdays with openings on Fridays & Saturdays throughout Winter only unless we can accomodate you (which we will always try to) 

Please allow up to 3 hours for a hair & makeup trial appointment, and up to 1.5 hours for hair or makeup separately. 

Feel free to bring a friend or family member along on the day!

WHEN SHOULD I HAVE MY HAIR / MAKEUP TRIAL? DO I NEED ONE?

Having a trial is important so that we can meet prior to the day and go over the look you want. It’s peace of mind to know you’ll be in love with your wedding day look! 
We definitely recommend having at least one trial and it can in fact be a good idea to have a second trial so you can try a different look and relax more & enjoy the process rather than the pressure of choosing one look. Sometimes one is enough, but two gives us more time to work together to ensure we nail your vision. 

WHAT CAN I DO TO PREPARE FOR MY TRIAL?

We really value the consultation process at your trial. Bring along your inspiration pictures (from our Instagram is a good start), any jewellery and images of your dress to help us carve out the best look to go for.

Please come along to your hair trial with clean and dry hair and your makeup trial with clean exfoliated and moisturised skin (or very minimal makeup).

TIP* When you are looking for inspiration pictures of hairstyles, it is helpful to look for images with a similar hair colour to you as hair colour dramatically changes the look of a hair style. 
Likewise when looking for makeup inspiration shots it’s best to look for images where you have a similar skintone and eye colour. If you are coming in for a hair trial only, it’s is a great idea to apply some makeup before you come in so you can get an idea of how the look may piece together.

SHOULD I GET A SPRAY TAN BEFORE MY TRIAL?

Yes! Definitely if you’re planning to have one on the day of your wedding. It makes SUCH a difference to the outcome of your makeup trial appearance.

Spray tans are great for that added warm glow when done well! We recommend a very light spray on your face.

SHOULD I GET LASH EXTENSIONS OR A LASH LIFT/PERM?

Lash extensions are great when kept on the natural side, we can always add length and volume to the extensions with individual lashes if need be.

Lash lifts/perms are a technical nightmare if you’re also considering wearing false lashes to your wedding or event. Best avoided so as to keep your options open on the day you have your makeup done. 

WHAT SKIN TREATMENTS/PRODUCTS ARE BEST LEADING UP TO MY EVENT OR WEDDING DAY?

Anything that encourages gentle skin renewal and hydration is recommended. Look for products to use at home that contain hyaloronic acid, vitamin C, AHA’S & BHA’S. 

Book in with a reputable skin & facial company to tailor a skin care program as far as 6 months out from your wedding day to tackle any skin issues or concerns as well as optimising your skins texture & glow which will mean your makeup will sit beautifully. 

Drinking lots of water makes a big difference to your skins texture and appearance, don’t hold back on your water intake the months leading up to your wedding.

WILL I NEED TO TOUCH UP MY MAKEUP?

Lips will need touching up. Arrange to have a lip liner and creamy lipstick on hand. Long wearing stains are also ideal, as long as they aren’t drying on the lips. Powder through the t-zone area may be needed depending on your skin type.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE ON THE DAY TO DO A GROUP BOOKING?

Depending on the timing of your wedding/event we may have 1 or 2 artists there to look after you.

Each hair / makeup takes approximately 45 minutes. We allow extra time for the brides hair and makeup and touch ups for the group before leaving.
