I do make up sometimes but am no make up artist!
But I do ask the client what colours she normally wears.
If she dosnt wear much make up or non at all, I tend to keep it minimal.
Ask what colours shes wearing, the flowers so you know which wont clash.
I personally think brides should look natural and not coco the clown as ive seen in prevois salons, really caked on ' so it shows in the photos!' :lol:
I also think too much highlighters can cause a reflection on the photos.
ask her if she would like her eyes a bit more dramatic than her lips or visa versa

I first talk about my t&c and get them to sign ect, we talk about the venue and date and how many are in the wedding party, also other treatments they are thinking about having.
I ask there colour theme and about what sort of make up they normal wear. I show them examples I've done and things I found in bridal magazines (most brides come with a image they liked)
I do all the makeup in steps.
And make sure I write it all down. C

They basically say how much it will come to, when it needs to be payed, non refundable, treatments they want per a person (this all comes in the price, so they can't cancel there tan as its already accounted for in the package price) travel fees....
Hi, I would ask her to bring colour swatches bridesmaids dresses the flowers etc, what she usually wears! Does she have an idea of what she wants/ look at her judge what you think and discuss with her

The trail needs to be payed for on the day of the trail.
Then they have 2 weeks to pay 50% non refundable deposit to save the date ect as some weddings can take my whole day up.
Then the final balance needs to be payed no later than 10 days before the wedding (never on the day)
I did a google search on wedding makeup t&c and put together the things I wanted to include on mine t&c, I actually wrote a post on it, I'll bump it up for you :)

Following advice from a geek I am going to ask Brides to send me an image by e-mail of what they like/want.
I have had a difficult time with one client and want to learn from my mistakes !
I too struggle at the moment to work out what they want.
Trying hard not to beat myself up!!!!
