Congratulations On Your Engagement!
You’re about to enjoy one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of
your life. Let Merle Norman help with the beautiful details.
Make an appointment
with a Beauty Consultant to establish a personalized skin care and makeup plan for
radiant results on your Big Day and beyond. Members of your bridal party are also
invited for private consultations.
The key to a perfect look is beginning your beauty regimen well in advance. Use
the following schedule as a guideline for booking your appointments. Start your
bridal beauty program today!
2 Months Ahead – Initial Consultation
- Include your bridal party to ensure a cohesive look.
- Discuss skin concerns.
- Have your skin type determined, or use our online skin-typing guide.
- Select appropriate skin care treatments/products.
- Receive a complimentary Facial Service.
- Discuss date/time of your wedding and color scheme (impacts makeup selection and application).
- Start an exfoliation regimen using either the LUXIVA® Derma-Peel System or LUXIVA® Micro-Refiner, depending on skin type, to improve skin texture and tone, as well as give your complexion a radiance boost.
For a Picture-Perfect Look:
- Choose shades tailored to your skin tone and dress. Avoid intensely shiny or frosted shades, which can catch the light during flash photography and create unsightly shadows.
- Get a Foundation Check. Advise the Beauty Consultant on the style of your dress so she can match your foundation shade to the tone of your neck, shoulders, chest, etc. Veer slightly darker than your normal skin tone, and/or match your face color to your shoulders and chest for a seamless effect. Be sure touchup products are properly matched and blended to avoid streaks or blotches.
- Since flash photography can make you look pale or emphasize ruddiness, choose a warm or yellow-based shade to even out your skin tone.
- Bring a camera to see how your makeup will look when photographed (consider getting test photos done with your wedding photographer).
