The bridal trial is where your wedding look is built, tested, and finalized — not guessed at on the morning of your wedding. The studio strongly recommends a trial for every bride, regardless of experience with professional makeup.
What happens at a trial: You arrive at the studio with reference photos of looks you love. Paige or your assigned artist performs a full makeup application using the products and techniques that will be used on your wedding day. You wear the look for the rest of the day to test longevity, photograph it in different lighting, and return with feedback. Any adjustments are incorporated before the wedding day, so day-of is pressure-free.
What to bring:
- Reference photos (Pinterest board, Instagram saves, magazine tears — any visual is useful)
- A button-down or zip-front top (do not pull clothing over finished makeup)
- Any known skin sensitivities or allergies — note them before your trial begins
- A photo of your dress if possible, and any jewelry you plan to wear
Trial pricing — from $450 in-studio (standard team) · $550 with Paige personally When to schedule — 4–8 weeks before your wedding date
