Bridal trails are conducted 2-3 months prior to your wedding date. Trials are 2 hours long and are conducted at your home or a location of your choice. Please notify me in advance if you’re aware that you’re allergic to any specific ingredients.

If your event is within Chicagoland, there is no on-location fee as this is built into my rate. If your event is over 50 miles outside of downtown Chicago, there is an additional travel fee.

Please inquire directly if you require national or international travel.

After your trial I will send you a link of any recommended products to purchase on your own for touching up. Including lipstick, and powder!
