Trish Langley, owner of My Mobile Salon Inc., is a wealth of information when it comes to bridal beauty. She travels all around Northern Virginia, working her hair and makeup magic on brides, moms and bridesmaids. She wrote a great column for our upcoming edition of Brides & Weddings of Northern Virginia, and I thought I would share some of her tips:
Makeup should be modern, natural and radiant. You should look like you – only perfectly enhanced.
Always have a trial application before the big day.

Be clear about what you are looking for with your makeup artist. Bring a photo to your consultation of a look that you like.
Your wedding makeup is NOT a good time to experiment with colors or trends.
Ask your makeup artist about long-lasting techniques.

Defining your brows will make all the difference. Have them shaped a few days prior to the wedding and fill them in, if needed, but don’t make them overpowering.
Pale lips could wash out your look. Choose a color that will emulate and enhance your natural lip color.
Use slightly more blush than you normally would.

Don’t use too much shimmer. A touch on the brow or cheekbone will do.

Yes, in order for any make-up to apply well and for the skin to look it’s absolute

Nor will the makeup wear well or last all day, which is what we all want.

Hello Brides! As most of you know, a trial run for makeup and hair is a must. That is why My Mobile Salon, Inc., Includes a trial run in our wedding packages. Now my brides sometimes ask what they need to do to prepare for the trial run. That is a great question! For makeup, you need to have a clean, moisturized face – . I also recommend that you wear a neutral top – white, off-white, or beige – no bright colors. The bright colors can reflect onto your face and influence the look of the makeup. For hair, you should have washed your hair the day before or earlier – not the day of. Yes, the dirtier the hair the better For both makeup and hair, it is always good to have pictures of looks you like. But remember, you may not have the same type of hair or face shape that the models in the pictures have. But that is where we come in. We can customize the look for you and give you the same feel of the look in the pictures. If you have makeup that you are “married” to, have that ready. Otherwise, we bring our own makeup kits. And have your veil and/or hair accessories ready as well. These tips will help make sure that each bride gets the most out of their trial run.
