And here’s the truth every makeup artist knows:
The better the canvas, the better the makeup application.

🌿 1. Skin Prep Starts Before the Big DayYour makeup artist can work magic, but beautiful skin begins weeks and months before your wedding day.
Here's what we recommend:
- Hydration is everything — Drinking water is helpful, but layering hydrating skincare products is where the glow truly begins.
- Exfoliate gently — Light exfoliation removes dry patches and uneven texture, allowing makeup to sit smoothly and naturally.
- Be consistent, not experimental — Stick with what works and avoid trying new treatments too close to your wedding.

We use luxury products tailored to your skin type and location (hello, Hawaiian humidity!) to ensure your skin is calm, hydrated, and ready for makeup that wears like a dream.
Our process might include:
- A calming facial massage to reduce puffiness and tension
- Targeted hydration layers to plump and prep the skin
- Strategic primer placement—not too much, just where needed
- Thoughtful product selection based on weather, photography, and your skin
✨ 3. What Proper Skin Prep Actually Does
- Smooths texture, so foundation doesn’t sit in fine lines or dry spots
- Helps makeup blend seamlessly, rather than sit on top of the skin
- Improves wear time, keeping your look fresh through hugs, heat, and happy tears
- Delivers that “lit-from-within” glow, without relying on heavy shimmer or highlight
