Frequently asked questions

Here at Cariad Beauty, we pride ourselves on providing a personalised and professional makeup service. We've compiled a list of common questions to give you all the information you need, from bridal trials to product details. If you can't find what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

When should I book my bridal trial?

We recommend booking your bridal trial approximately 2-3 months before your wedding day. This allows plenty of time to discuss your desired look, try out different styles, and make any adjustments needed, ensuring you feel completely confident and beautiful for your big day.

How long does bridal make-up take?

For the bride herself, the makeup application usually takes around 60-90 minutes. For bridesmaids and other members of the bridal party, it typically takes 45-60 minutes per person. We always build in buffer time to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience for everyone.

What happens after I book?

Once you've booked with Cariad Beauty, you'll receive a confirmation email with all the details of your booking. We'll then arrange your bridal trial, and closer to your wedding day, we'll finalise timings and any last-minute details to ensure everything runs perfectly.

Do you accommodate large bridal parties?

Yes, we are experienced in working with bridal parties of all sizes. For larger groups, I can bring along an assistant makeup artist to ensure everyone is ready on time and looking fabulous. Please mention the size of your bridal party when making your enquiry.

Do you offer make-up for mums and bridesmaids?

Absolutely! We offer professional makeup services for mothers of the bride/groom, bridesmaids, and any other members of your bridal party. Each application is tailored to suit individual preferences and complement the overall wedding aesthetic.

What makeup brands do you use?

I use a curated selection of high-quality, long-lasting, and professional makeup brands known for their performance and suitability for photography. These include [[example brand 1]], [[example brand 2]], and [[example brand 3]], ensuring a flawless finish that lasts all day.

What if I have sensitive skin?

Your comfort and skin health are paramount. Please inform me if you have sensitive skin or any allergies during our consultation. I use products suitable for various skin types and can make specific recommendations to ensure your skin remains happy and healthy.

Can I make changes after my bridal trial?

Yes, of course! The bridal trial is a collaborative process. If you have any thoughts or wish to make changes to your look after the trial, please communicate them. We'll work together to perfect your desired style for your wedding day.
