Your Complete Guide to Glowing Skin, Gorgeous Hair & a Stress-Free Start to Your Day

Your big day is almost here — how exciting! To help you look and feel your absolute best, here’s everything you need to know about preparing for your bridal hair and makeup, and setting up the perfect space on the wedding morning.

Prep Your Skin for Flawless Makeup


Glowing, healthy skin is the best base for beautiful bridal makeup. In the days leading up to your wedding:

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water — it really helps!
  • Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your skin 2-3 days before to create a smooth canvas.
  • Moisturise: Keep your skin hydrated morning and night (even if you have oily skin).
  • Brows: Book any brow shaping 3-5 days before the wedding.
  • No new treatments: Avoid facials, peels or lasers the week of your wedding to prevent unexpected reactions.

On the wedding morning:
Cleanse and moisturise your face. Skip heavy serums, oils, or SPF-based creams (they can affect how makeup looks in photos).

To help your hair stylist create your dream look:


  • Wash your hair the night before (unless advised otherwise by your stylist).
  • Dry hair thoroughly — no damp patches!
  • Avoid using heavy conditioners, oils or styling products — these can weigh hair down.
  • Don’t wear tight ponytails or hairbands overnight to avoid dents.
  • If using extensions, have them clean, dry and ready to go.

Set Up the Perfect Space for Hair & Makeup


Creating a calm, well-organised space helps the whole morning run smoothly:

  • Good lighting is key — natural daylight near a window is ideal.
  • Provide a table or flat surface for your artist’s kit.
  • Make sure there are power points nearby.
  • Use chairs with low backs (or no back).
  • Keep the area free of clutter.
  • Have a mirror ready if possible.

On The Morning: What To Do
  • Wear something easy to remove — a robe or button-up shirt is ideal so you won’t disturb your hair or makeup.
  • Stick to the agreed timeline — we work to a schedule to make sure everything runs on time!
  • Bridesmaids and bridal party should prep their skin and hair the same way.
  • Enjoy the morning! Play music, have some snacks, and stay relaxed.
  • Don’t forget to eat and drink water — you want to feel your best.

Final Tips for a Stress-Free Wedding Morning
  • Trust your hair and makeup team — we’ve got you!
  • Relax, have fun, and soak in this special time with your loved ones.
  • With great prep and a beautiful space, your wedding morning will be calm, joyful and full of happy memories.

​Your wedding day is a whirlwind of joy, emotions, and celebration, and you need your bridal makeup to last through every precious moment. To maintain a flawless look from your walk down the aisle to the last dance, a well-stocked bridal makeup touch-up kit is essential. Here’s a complete guide to must-have items in your kit, helping you stay radiant and camera-ready all day long.

1. Setting Spray
A high-quality setting spray is an essential part of any bridal touch-up kit. Choose a lightweight, long-lasting formula to lock in your makeup without adding heaviness. A quick spritz not only refreshes your look but also ensures your makeup stays flawless—even through happy tears.

2. Blotting Papers
Carry a pack of blotting papers to effortlessly absorb excess oil without smudging your makeup. These handy essentials instantly combat shine, keeping your skin fresh, matte, and photo-ready throughout the day.

3. Pressed Powder
A translucent pressed powder is essential for keeping shine at bay, particularly in the T-zone. Opt for a finely milled formula that won’t cake or settle into fine lines. For a flawless finish, select a shade that matches your skin tone, allowing for seamless touch-ups throughout the day.

4. Lip Color and Liner
Your lip color may fade after eating and drinking, so be sure to include your chosen lipstick, lip liner, and a small lip brush for precise application. A quick touch-up can instantly refresh your overall look.

5. Q-Tips and Cotton Pads
Q-tips and cotton pads are lifesavers for quick fixes and unexpected makeup mishaps. Whether you need to clean up mascara smudges, sharpen eyeliner, or correct uneven eyeshadow, these tools provide precise touch-ups without disrupting the rest of your makeup.

6. Miniature Perfume
A small vial of your favorite perfume ensures you stay fresh and fragrant throughout the day. A subtle spritz will keep you feeling confident and elegant.

7. Compact Mirror
A compact mirror is a must-have for on-the-go touch-ups. Choose one with both regular and magnifying mirrors to get a detailed view when adjusting your makeup.

8. Tissues
In addition to blotting papers, tissues are useful for dabbing away excess oil, wiping away tears, or handling any unexpected spills—all without disrupting your makeup.

9. Emergency Sewing Kit
A mini sewing kit with a needle and thread matching your dress can be a lifesaver for last-minute wardrobe fixes, ensuring you look flawless from start to finish.

10. Hand Sanitizer
Keeping your hands clean is essential when touching up your makeup. A small bottle of hand sanitizer and a few wet wipes will keep your hands fresh and germ-free throughout the day.

11. Medication
If you take any essential medications, be sure to include them in your kit. It’s always better to be prepared for any unexpected situations that may arise.
​
Radiant and Ready for Anything
Your bridal touch-up kit is your ultimate beauty ally, helping you maintain a flawless and radiant look from the ceremony to the final dance. By carefully selecting and customizing these essentials, you’ll be prepared for any beauty emergency that comes your way. With your kit in hand, you can confidently embrace every magical moment of your special day.
