Advice
Avoid Lash Lifts & Brow Lamination - Avoid harsh Brown lamination it can cause dryness around the brows , making the makeup appear flakey. Lash extensions and individual lashes are extremely difficult to apply over lifted lashes. Please avoid lash lifts at all cost.
Exfoliate the night before: Gently exfoliate your face, neck and chest to remove dead skin and create a smooth, even base for your makeup. (Huda Beauty’s Wishful Exfoliating Balm for a smooth finish)
Keep fake tan natural: Avoid a very dark or orange- toned fake tan, as this can look uneven or affect the final makeup. If you are tanning, choose the lightest shade possible and ensure it is applied evenly.
Skip individual lashes: Please avoid having individual lashes applied before hand. HILA carries a variety of lashes and can choose the perfect style and shape to complement your eye shape and desired look.
Remove facial hair: If you normally remove facial hair, please do so the day before, rather than immediately before your appointment, to allow skin to settle and prevent irritation.
Hydrate your skin: Apply a hydrating face mask before HILA arrives to ensure your skin is moisturised and makeup ready.
Contact lenses: Please put your contact lenses after your makeup is complete to avoid any makeup on the lenses.
Give yourself time: Please have everything else you need to do- getting dressed, eating, brushing teeth, putting in jewellery, etc - Completed or planned before your makeup so HILA can work without interruptions.
Come prepared: Have your veil, shoes, accessories and anything else you'll need ready before your makeup begins, so your photographer can capture these details without interrupting your makeup session.
