Every blushing bride wants to look their breathtaking best on their special day, and having stunning hair and makeup makes the day even more perfect. However, it’s easy to underestimate just how long it takes to do bridal makeup and hair to such a high standard that you look gorgeous on the day and well into the evening.
So you might be wondering, how long will the bride’s hair and makeup take? The answer: as long as it takes. Each bride is completely different and has their own likes and dislikes.
Sometimes a bride who’s inexperienced with wedding hair and makeup doesn’t even know what they like, so that can take more time.
Preparation Is So Important
Typically when doing our own makeup or hair, it can be done in around 15 to 20 minutes.
A quick brush through the hair, maybe a bun and touch-ups of mascara, a slap of fresh lipstick and you’re done and out the door… right?
But when it comes to your big day and creating your perfect and individual bridal style together with that of the entire wedding party, it’s a different story, and it starts with the preparation.
All too often, brides forget to consider the time and the process required to prepare their skin before applying their wedding day makeup.
Here at Makeup By Dalia, we always recommend that you ensure your face and lips are exfoliated & moisturised well the night before the wedding.
We also recommend that you avoid trying any new or abrasive facial treatments and or facial waxing 1-2 weeks before your big day.
Should You Have A Makeup Trial Before The Big Day?
Getting married can see your stress levels go off the charts, so the last thing you want is anything going wrong with your hair and makeup on your wedding day.
That’s why all the top makeup stylists like Sydney-based Dalia always recommend that you have a makeup trial beforehand, as doing so will not only cover many details it will also make sure that;

How Long Does Bridal Makeup Take?
Having just a simple eye or a more natural airbrush makeup look does not necessarily mean you will spend less time having your bridal makeup completed.
Even if you have flawless skin with no imperfections and require no colour correcting requirements and no need for any eyelashes.
It still takes the time and skill of your makeup artist to create a naturally beautiful bridal look.
For wedding day makeup it’s best to be on the safe side so you should allow between 45 minutes to an hour per service per person for your bridal party and, for a more natural makeup look, at least an hour for the bride.
To create your stunning makeup you can expect your bridal hair and makeup session to take about ninety minutes to perfect your beautifully detailed makeup look.
Remember To Have Fun.
We all know things can get pretty stressful when you’re big day arrives, but just don’t forget to enjoy yourself.
