HOW LONG DOES MAKEUP TAKE?  

On the wedding day, usually, we like to allow 1 hour per person.  This allows us to clean brushes in between makeups.  For a wedding trial, please allow 1-1.5 hours as a consultation is usually done so we can really understand your needs and vision for your look. 

DO I NEED TO SUPPLY MY OWN MAKE-UP?

For the most part, we have it covered.  However, on your wedding day, it is recommended that you bring lipstick and/or gloss for touch-ups (and if you have a colour in mind that you do want to use, bring that to the trial).  If you're prone to oily skin, blotting paper + powder is great for you to bring too.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT STYLE SUITS ME?

This is where a trial for hair and makeup comes in perfect!  Let me guess, you've been trawling Pinterest in search of the perfect hair + makeup ideas? We can put those inspirational photos to the test in your trial and of course, totally customise it to suit your needs.

WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE?

We use a range of professional, high-end retail + boutique cosmetics.  These brands include; Tarte, Becca, Nars, Urban Decay, Element Two, Morphe, Makeup Geek, and the list goes on.  Please note, that we're against animal testing and do not use any products that are tested on animals. 

WHAT IS AIRBRUSH MAKEUP + HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Airbrushing is a makeup application technique that utilizes compressed air through an airbrush gun with drops of colour, such as foundation, blush, and contour, to spray a fine mist of makeup. Airbrush makeup provides flawless, lightweight coverage which helps minimize skin imperfections, while giving skin a beautifully natural finished-looking result, also being water resistant & lasts 12 or more hours.

I'M PROBABLY GOING TO CRY ON MY WEDDING DAY.....

Don't worry, we've got you covered!  Airbrush makeup is water resistant.  Our eyeliner, mascara + lash glue are all waterproof!  No panda eyes here!

I'M ALLERGIC TO SOME PRODUCTS AND HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN...

This is why a makeup trial is especially important.  Having extremely sensitive skin myself, I trial and test all products out first and if there is the option to purchase products in a sensitive version - I will always make sure I stock my kit with that.  Please let us know in your consultation about any kind of allergies.  If you are severely allergic to anything in particular, you are welcome to bring your own makeup and we can apply that. 

I'M NOT USED TO WEARING MUCH MAKE-UP - I'M NOT SURE IF I'LL LOOK GOOD? 

Of course, you will!  Airbrush is AMAZING for this very reason because it is so lightweight on the skin.  Most clients comment that they can't even feel any product on their skin, yet it gives such amazing coverage!  We actually listen to you're specific needs and will customise and tailor your unique look.

WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING IN THE LEAD-UP TO MY WEDDING?

Brows.  They are the most important part of your face!  And at House of Glamour, we pride ourselves on giving our brides the best brows possible!  If your brows are out of shape or have been over-plucked, then we highly recommend our Brow Rehab or maybe your brows are just ok and you're not committed to that one brow artist?  In this case, we ask that you commit to our Bridal Brow Bootcamp where you see us once a month for your shaping + tinting needs.  You can enrol here. 

WHEN SHOULD I SPRAY TAN BEFORE MY WEDDING?

We know wearing white can be daunting, so you're probably going to want to get some sort of faux glow (especially if you've been good about sunscreen during Summer). At House of Glamour, we use a violet-based tan, so there is absolutely no chance of ever going orange! If you haven't tanned before, it's recommended you have a trial tan 1 month prior to your wedding. Byron is probably one of the most precise tanning technicians you will ever come across. Paying special attention to your hands + feet, to ensure there are no telltale signs that a spray tan has even been applied. Her tans are always flawless and you will be left looking like a radiant, glowing goddess. You can view pre + post spray tan care tips HERE.
