Beauty Checklist Before Wedding Photo’s
Weddings can be one of the most stressful times of your life! Especially for the bride (we all know who typically does all the planning). So I teamed up with Tasha from Photography By Tasha Rose to give you a checklist, timeline, and a little surprise when it comes to all things beauty!
Lashes:
2.5 weeks before Photo Session- Schedule your initial Lash Extension appointment! That way you have time to get used to them and recognize any potential changes you’d like made. Then during your fill (preferably 2 days before photo day) you can ask for exactly what you need!!
2 days before Photo Session - Have your Lash Extension fill! This ensures the glue has time to set properly and make sure if any tears show up on photo day that you’ll still have perfect lashes until your next appointment!
Day of Photo Session - Make sure who ever applies your makeup is aware of your lash extensions. NO mascara should be applied!! Make sure they are cautious of eye shadow and eyeliner around your lashes as well. If any powder comes in contact with lashes, wet a spooly brush with water and gently brush it through your lash extensions until dry.
REPEAT Timeline for all wedding photos including Your Big Day(:
*** TIP: Getting fresh lashes before your big day will result in you looking GORGEOUS every morning on your honeymoon without having to feel like you need to apply or bring mascara!!
Brow Waxing:
Make sure you do your research AHEAD of time and know potential outcomes of the brow artist’s work. NEVER go to new person right before a big picture day. Make sure you are confident with their work before proceeding. This is your face we’re talking about!
6 Weeks Before Photo Session- Schedule INITIAL brow wax appointment. Inform them of your big day, any brow concerns, scars, medication, etc. (You cannot be on any acne medication at least 6 months before waxing) Schedule follow up brow appointment if you are happy with the results for about 5 days before Photo Session
5 Days Before Photo Session- Go to follow up Brow Waxing appointment. Inform artist of any changes you may want. After brow waxing session AVOID Direct sun exposure, makeup, and touching the area for 24 hours. (touching and makeup may result in breakouts around brow area). Having the service done 5 days in advanced allows time for skin to settle and to properly heal before your photo session.
Day Of Photo Session: Apply any makeup to brows to enhance your shape if necessary! (Your brow artist can & should give you some great recommendations for makeup and how to apply it properly!)
Microblading:
Make sure you do your research and choose a Microblading tech that fits your style!
10 Weeks Before FIRST Photo Session- Schedule Initial Appointment! Microblading treatment should be performed this day to ensure healing before touch up! Your tech should schedule your 6 week touch up after your treatment. Your goal should be to have perfect and consistent brows in all your bridal photos including engagements. So keep this timing in mind for those photos!
4 Weeks Before FIRST Photo Session- Get your Microblading touched up! This will ensure that your brows are perfect and that they have time to be 100% healed before your photo day!!
Day of Photo Session- You may still want to apply makeup! That is 100% up to you and your style. For those who wear a full face of makeup on the daily, Microblading is under the skin and is intended to look natural. Makeup is on the surface of the skin and do not look the same. You may want to put a little brow makeup to match the rest of the makeup if it’s a full face. You will have a perfect guide and texture so it will be less maintenance and easy! That is the goal.
I am SO happy I get to share this with you! This is the EXACT Timeline I used before my big day! Honestly, the highlight was DEFINITELY being able to not stress about my brow shape and any lash strips lifting. Plus I was able to feel BEAUTIFUL on my wedding day AND on my honeymoon! Most honeymoons include water, so not worrying about mascara and still being able to feel my best was a huge plus.
I’ve decided to release an easy package for you guys!! The Wedding Collection will include 1 FULL SET of lash extensions + 5 FILLS, plus a Complimentary brow wax and tint for only $350! It’s a $490 Value to RUN!! Book now by going to the Booking Page!
I could go on about all the beauty hacks, but honestly, the most IMPORTANT is going to be choosing an incredible photographer. Tasha from Photography By Tasha Rose was able to capture the most outstanding and beautiful moments on our wedding day. I didn’t have to worry at all because I KNEW she would capture all the important memories and make us look fabulous! Do your research before choosing a photographer. She is the one I will always recommend to everyone. So if you don’t know where to start, go check her out!
