Our makeup artists have extensive training and experience in makeup application for all skin tones and types. They stay current with trends and techniques through ongoing education.
At Wish Dry Bar, we use only professional-grade, high-quality makeup products that are safe, effective, and provide beautiful, long-lasting results.
Wish Dry Bar has been featured in leading publications and recognized for excellence in hair styling:
Professional makeup typically lasts 8-12 hours with proper application and setting products. We use primers and setting sprays to ensure longevity. The exact duration depends on factors like skin type, weather, and activity level. For weddings or long events, we recommend keeping blotting papers and your lip color handy for minor touch-ups, though the base makeup should remain intact throughout your event.
We provide all professional makeup products and tools, so there's no need to bring your own makeup. Our artists use high-quality, professional-grade cosmetics that are hygienic and provide superior results. However, if you have specific products you love (like a favorite lipstick shade), feel free to bring them and we can incorporate them into your look. If you have allergies or sensitivities, let us know in advance.
Yes, our makeup artists are experienced in applying makeup on mature skin and use techniques that enhance rather than emphasize fine lines. We select formulas that provide coverage without settling into wrinkles, and we use strategic placement of products to lift and brighten the face. Mature skin makeup requires different techniques than younger skin, and our artists understand how to create a beautiful, age-appropriate look.
Yes, we strongly recommend a makeup trial for all brides to ensure you love your look before the wedding day. A trial allows you to see how the makeup looks in different lighting, how it photographs, and how it wears throughout the day. It also gives us time to make adjustments based on your feedback. We suggest scheduling your trial 1-2 months before your wedding, ideally on the same day as your hair trial.
Come to your appointment with a clean, moisturized face and avoid applying any makeup beforehand. Arrive with your hair already styled (or schedule hair first if getting both services). Bring inspiration photos, information about your outfit, and any specific makeup items you want incorporated. If you wear contact lenses, insert them before your appointment. Avoid trying new skincare products or treatments close to your appointment date.
Yes, our makeup artists are skilled at color matching and have access to a wide range of foundation shades to match all skin tones. We assess your skin in natural light and test shades on your jawline to find the perfect match. We also consider your undertones (warm, cool, or neutral) to ensure the foundation looks natural. If you have concerns about foundation matching, we can do a quick test during consultation.
While we focus on application services, our makeup artists are happy to provide tips and recommendations during your appointment. We'll explain techniques as we work and can suggest products that would work well for you at home. Many clients learn simply by watching the process and asking questions. If you're interested in more in-depth instruction, let us know and we can recommend resources or discuss custom lesson options.
Yes, we encourage booking hair and makeup together for a cohesive, polished look, especially for weddings and special events. When booking both services, we typically recommend doing hair first, then makeup. This prevents hair products from affecting finished makeup and allows your hair to set while makeup is applied. Contact us to schedule both services in one appointment. We'll ensure proper timing for the best results.
