Bridal Trials & FAQs
Bridal trial's or Special occasion hair and makeup are completed in the comfort of Merton's home studio in Altona.
Firstly, Merton will gather all information needed and assess your facial features and personal makeup preferences. Taking that on board, Merton will create your desired bridal hair or makeup look, complimenting the shape of your face, along with what will look flawless in person on the day and perfect in photos. Merton will bring out your best individual features without using heavily applied makeup; these are the tricks of the trade that come with years of experience working within the fashion and bridal industry.
It is suggested that brides have images of what they want their wedding hair or makeup to look like, gathered from Merton's folio of work.
Hair and makeup trials are preferred to take place during the day, as natural light is best to work with, in order to see the true colours of the makeup application or your hair style. It is also best if you wear a white or ivory top to reflect the colour of what you will be wearing on your wedding day.
Merton will also run through all of your beauty needs and routine, including waxing, brow shaping, tanning and what you will need for touch-ups on your wedding day. The makeup will last all day, however considering the weather (heat and humidity), you will need to use translucent powder to apply to your T- zone area and retouch your lippy.
Know you are in great creative hands with Merton. Look and feel your absolute best on the day you will remember for a life time.

FAQs
Do I need a hair/makeup trial? Yes, Merton recommends that all of his brides to have a trial before their special day to ensure they get what they're after for their wedding day. During the trial we also have an opportunity to meet and get to know each other, as we'll work closely to organise the hair or makeup for your wedding day.
What do I need for my makeup or hair trial?
*Depending on your service, you will be required to have clean hair or face-free of makeup. Please lightly exfoliate and moisturise your skin before your trial. For best results, please keep your skin care regime ongoing.
* If you're thinking of getting a tan for your wedding day, please also have one for your trial. A tan alters the look of your makeup.
*Please only tan your body and not your face. Merton will match your foundation colour to your tan.
*It is preferred that clients don't have lash extensions applied or a lash lift as this interferes with the makeup application. Its best to start with all the eye makeup work first, then finish with a pair of false lashes.
* Have your hair washed and dried the night before your trial/wedding day or special event.
* Please wear something that will resemble the colour of your wedding dress.
* Bring inspirational images that express how you would like your hair or makeup. Please ensure these images are selected from Merton's folio of work. Please also provide images on how you do your own makeup. Like this, Merton can gage how far he can take your makeup application.
* If you are a brunette, please search bridal hair styles for brunettes, as blondes have a different texture and show differently in photos.
* Wedding day only: Please provide a table, set up near natural light.
Trials are held from Monday to Saturday at 10:30am. *Subject to availability
Trial times: 1.5hrs per service
