Professionally applied makeup will last the duration of your wedding day with proper care. Quality products are always used and steps are taken to ensure your makeup lasts. We will provide you with tips for wedding day touch-ups and a list of must-haves. We do provide lip touch ups for bridal clients. We do also suggest clients purchase blot paper or light powder to keep their t-zone oil free and makeup fresh looking throughout the day. Also please avoid makeup transfer by avoiding contact with your face throughout your day (ie hugging relatives cheek to cheek, if you cry – pat your tears with a paper towel, do not wipe your face, etc). Most of the products we use are water resistant in nature. We do suggest once your makeup is complete that you eat with a fork and knife and drink with a straw to ensure your makeup lasts.

Check your earring have backs. Check your jewelry isn’t broken. Try on your bridal earrings/ jewelry a couple days before your event to ensure ear lobs are not closed. As this may cause discomfort on your event. Before buying your duputta see if it’s manageable for you. Try it on with your hair tied back to see if you can control the weight. Please ensure your Rose ring (naat) clicks in your nose and doesn’t hurt you on the day of your event. We recommended you opt for the clip ones only.
