Give yourself some peace of mind by having a makeup trial. Know your timing and that the look you want is really the look you want.

Take a few ideas of what look you would like with you. The pictures are great. Be sure to narrow down your look and not take too many ideas.

Take your own makeup bag with your go-to products. It will help your makeup artist in selecting the best products for you.

Your idea of natural makeup may differ from your makeup artist's. Taking photos of what you really want can help bridge this gap.

Budget your makeup artist. Before you book a session, ask about pricing for trial and wedding day prices.

Ask if you need to do any pre-trial prep for your trial. An example could be cleaning your face or moisturizing at least an hour before.

Try to wear the color or a similar color and neckline to your trial, as it can affect your complexion and look.

Take note of how long things take on the day of your trial and work your timing out accordingly.

Do not be afraid to ask many questions, even if they seem silly.

Schedule a makeup trial, especially if you are someone who is unsure about having someone else do your makeup.
