Booking bridal makeup comes down to timing more than anything else — popular wedding dates book out artists’ calendars months in advance, and the trial appointment is the step most brides underestimate.
A bridal trial should happen 1-2 months before the wedding, giving time to adjust the look without the pressure of the actual day. Day-of application is scheduled 2-4 hours before the ceremony using long-wear, waterproof-friendly products built to survive a full day of photos and emotion. We also offer bridesmaids makeup for the whole wedding party in one booking.
Popular wedding dates, especially May through October in Boise, book out quickly. Reaching out as soon as you have a date — even before finalizing other vendors — is the biggest factor in actually getting the artist and timeline you want.
A bridal trial generally runs $75-150, day-of application $125-250, and bridesmaid makeup is usually priced per person at $65-100 each. See our Bridal Beauty Timeline guide for a complete planning checklist, or our full pricing page for current rates.
