Skipping the Makeup Trial
We all know how busy our lives can be and this is why most soon-to-be brides just skip the makeup trial. But we are telling you not to! It is essential for you to know ahead of time what you will actually look like on your wedding day. Aside from this, it is also an advantage that you meet your glam team ahead of time and go through the exact process of the hair and makeup session to give you an idea of what to expect on the big day. In this trial, you will experience and understand that it takes time to do wedding hair and makeup which then will allow you to give time on your wedding day for this session. Plus, you’ll be more comfortable with the people around you on the big day after meeting them on your makeup trial. So don’t ever skip the makeup trial.
Neglecting to Exfoliate And/Or Moisturise

Just like painting, you’ll be need the best canvas as possible. Same with having your makeup done!

A recognizable you when walking down the aisle and back to our first tip, this is why it is essential for you to have your makeup trial. In case you would really want to experiment with a new look, then you would have a trial to do so incase things to work out in the end.
Disregarding Body Makeup
