What should you expect at a bridal makeup trial session?

A bridal makeup trial with Vinni covers skin analysis, product testing, shade matching, a full-face bridal application and photo-check evaluation in natural and flash light. The session lasts around 2-2.5 hours and finalises the base, palette, lip and hair direction for your wedding day.
What happens in the first 30 minutes?
A skin-condition analysis (oily, dry, combination, sensitive), a discussion of your outfit, wedding venue and photography style, and reference-photo alignment. Vinni takes notes so nothing is repeated at the actual wedding.
How does shade-matching work at the trial?
Vinni tests 2-3 foundation shades on your jawline, blends into the neck, and evaluates under natural light. If needed, she custom-blends across brands to hit your exact undertone.
Do you get a full application?
Yes. You leave the trial with your full trial look done — base, eye, lip, contour, blush, highlight. Photos are taken so both of you have a reference.
What do brides typically walk out with?
A printed skincare protocol for the 7 days before the wedding, a shade card with the final base combo, and a locked confirmation of the wedding-day timing.
