Welcome to another exciting beauty journey! Before you sit back, relax, and let your makeup artist work their magic, there are a few backstage secrets we'd love to share. Whether it's getting that flawless skin, luscious lips, or the perfect hairstyle, it's all about the prep work.



Skin Prep – The Canvas of Your Beauty:

  1. Exfoliate with Care: Think of exfoliating as a fresh start for your skin. It helps remove dead cells and promotes a smoother, radiant complexion. But remember, moderation is key – once or twice a week is perfect!

  2. Serum: Your Skin's Best Friend: If your skin has specific needs (like extra hydration or brightening), a serum can be a game-changer. It's like a superhero boost for your skin, addressing its unique concerns.

  3. Moisturise, Morning and Night: Hydrated skin is happy skin. A good moisturizer keeps your skin supple and ready for makeup application, day and night.

  4. SPF All Day: SPF isn't just for the beach – it's your skin's armor against UV damage, even indoors. Don't forget to reapply every two hours for maximum protection!

  5. Double Cleanse for a Clean Slate: Double cleansing ensures every trace of makeup, dirt, and impurities are gone. It's like hitting the reset button for your skin.


Lip Prep – Pucker Up!

  • Exfoliate for Smoothness: A quick sugar scrub leaves your lips soft and kissable. A perfect canvas for your favorite lipstick shades.

  • Moisturize Those Kissers: Lips deserve some love too! Keep them hydrated with lip balm, oil, or gloss. Your lipstick will thank you.


Hair Prep – Crown Your Look:

  • Wash and Wait: For most hair types, it's best to wash 24 hours before your appointment. Freshly washed hair can be too silky and might not hold that fabulous hairstyle as well.

  • Product-Free Zone: Avoid using heavy products like oils, creams, or hairspray on the day of your appointment. We want your hair to be a blank canvas, ready for our artistic touch.

Remember, this prep routine is like a red-carpet treatment for yourself. It ensures you'll not only look your best but also feel confident and ready to rock any occasion. So, let's get started on your beauty adventure, one fabulous step at a time! 💄💋💃
