Solarium Beauty

Every bride I've had a reaction with tried one new thing in the last two weeks. Every single one.

It's always well-intentioned — a facial someone gifted you, a mask that went viral, a peel a week before because you wanted to glow. Your skin doesn't know it's your wedding. It just knows something new showed up and it has opinions.

Count backwards from your date and put these five markers in your calendar today.

Getting married in 2027? Send me your date and I'll tell you if it's open.

"I want soft glam" and "I want full glam" mean completely different things to every bride who says them.

So I stopped asking. Instead I ask about your dress, your venue and your photographer's editing style — because those three things decide how much makeup actually reads on camera. A soft look in a dark ballroom disappears. A full look in a bright garden at noon looks like a lot.

Swipe through, then screenshot slide two and answer it for your own day.

Trials open for 2027 — comment TRIAL.

Catherine told me before her trial that she cries at everything, and asked if that was a problem.

It's not a problem, it's information. It changed the lash I used, how I set under her eyes, and what went in her touch-up kit. That's the whole reason I ask questions that sound unrelated — how you sleep, whether you sweat, if you rub your eyes when you're emotional. Your look should survive your actual day, not a photoshoot version of it.

Thank you for this one, Catherine. 🤍

DM me DATE to check your day.

Your makeup doesn't last because of one magic product. It lasts because of the order things go on.

Every bride asks me which setting spray I use, and the honest answer is that the spray is the last 5% of it. The other 95% is skin that's actually hydrated before I start, primer only where your skin needs help, and creams before powders — never the other way around. That's it. That's the whole trick I charge for.

Save this for your wedding morning, or send it to whoever is doing your makeup.

The most common planning mistake I see isn't the makeup. It's the math.

Six people getting ready is not "a morning." With one artist it's most of a working day, and every timeline that starts from the ceremony instead of from your photographer's arrival ends up 40 minutes short. Then someone's hair gets cut in half and the bride gets photographed mid-panic.

Tell me how many people are getting ready and what time your photographer arrives. I'll build the backwards timeline for you, whether you book me or not.

Houston + 25 miles.

None of these cost anything. All five of them change how your morning feels.

I've done enough wedding mornings to know exactly where they go sideways, and it's almost never the makeup. It's freshly washed hair that won't hold a curl, a sweater that has to come off over a finished updo, a bride who hasn't eaten since 7am, or a timeline with zero slack in it.

Fix these five and your morning gets quiet. That's the goal — quiet.

Save it for later. Houston + 25 miles, or come to the studio in Richmond.

The brides who feel calm on their wedding morning are almost always the ones who did a trial.

Not because the trial is magic — because by the time we get to your day, there are no decisions left to make. I already know your undertone, how your skin behaves by hour six, which lash shape suits your eye, and where your hair likes to sit. Your look is written down. I just execute it.

A trial takes about two hours and it's the difference between hoping and knowing.
