Bridal Trials & FAQs

Bridal trial's or Special occasion hair and makeup are completed in the comfort of Merton's home studio in Williamstown, Melbourne.
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 a soft focus of the hair or makeup look they're after for their wedding day. Inspiration, 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.
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 blotting paper or translucent powder to apply to your T- zone area and retouch your lippy.
From your first email contact to your special day. Know you are in great reliable and creative hands with Merton. Look and feel your absolute best on the day you will remember for the 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 any products. Please lightly exfoliate and moisturise your skin the night 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.
*Opt for a natural sun kissed tan.. Only tan your body up to the neck and not your face. Merton will match your foundation colour to your tan. Please note: Keep in mind how dark of a tan you go... as we need to match your foundation to your tan to make it look uniform.
*It is essential that clients don't have lash extensions applied or a lash lift/brow lamination, as this interferes with the application of makeup. It's best to start with all the eye makeup work first, then finish with a pair of false eye lashes. A fresh canvas is always best.
* Depending how oily your hair gets. Have your hair washed and blow dried a night or two before your trial/wedding day or special event.
* 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 filtered light and not direct sunlight.
Trials are held from Monday to Saturday at 10:00am. *Subject to availability
Trial times: 1-1.5hrs per service
*Please check the terms and conditions on your bridal questionnaire.
