Setting up your look

Share inspiration photos and talk through your skin, comfort and how long you want the makeup to last. Do a trial before the wedding, and take a photo in natural light.

Ask whether the artist works with your bridal party and how much time is needed. For longer days, ask about touch-up kits.

Tell the photographer about your look, so the images reflect your plans.

Skin preparation counts as much as products. Ask what routine to follow in the weeks before the wedding, and what to avoid close to the day. A trial run shows how the look photographs, and gives time to adjust shades and finishes.

Where she works

The business is based in Fort Collins, in Northern Colorado. Ask about travel to other parts of the Front Range.
