Congrats on choosing the best wedding makeup company in Columbus—614 Beauty! Okay yes, we’re a little biased, but we truly believe you’re in amazing hands. Your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and your makeup should reflect that magic. As a trusted Columbus makeup artist team, we know how important it is to make sure everything goes smoothly and beautifully—starting with your makeup trial.
Adding a makeup trial gives you peace of mind. It’s your chance to see exactly how you’ll look on the big day and fine-tune your look with your artist. Here’s how to make the most of your wedding makeup trial experience:
I’ll never stop saying it: skincare is everything. And when it comes to bridal makeup, it’s even more important. Before your trial, stick to a skincare routine that you know works well for your skin. If you want to take it up a notch, we offer facial packages at 614 Beauty—designed to prep your skin using top-tier products and techniques.
On the day of your trial, arrive with a clean face (no makeup) and clean, completely dry hair.
If you already have a vision for your bridal look, bring some inspiration photos! Pinterest boards, celebrity makeup, or even pics of yourself when you felt your best—it all helps us tailor your look.
Bringing accessories like a veil, tiara, or extensions. If not, no worries—we’ve got extras you can try out during your appointment. And don’t forget: wear something white (or close to your wedding day outfit color) so you get a real feel for how the makeup will look in context.
We usually schedule trials earlier in the day to simulate your actual timeline—most trial sessions happen mid-late morning. This gives you the chance to test how your makeup holds up through the day. High-quality bridal makeup should last for hours with little to no touch-ups, and we want you to feel confident that it will.
Why waste a flawless makeup day? Go out! Grab lunch with your besties, hit a date night, or take engagement photos—whatever gives you an excuse to soak up the glam. You’ll be feeling like your most radiant, confident self.
This isn’t one of those moments where you smile politely while secretly planning to redo your entire face in the car. Please, be honest! If there’s anything that doesn’t feel quite right, tell your artist. Our goal is to create a look you absolutely love—so you walk down the aisle feeling stunning, comfortable, and totally you.
If you were on the fence about booking a makeup trial, I hope this helps make your decision easier! If you have any questions or just want to chat about your vision, reach out—we’re always here for our brides.
And if you haven’t officially scheduled your wedding makeup and hair yet, let’s get you locked in. Contact us today!
