I had a terrible hair and makeup trial before my wedding. We’re talking tears as the updo literally fell apart and I wiped purple eyeshadow off my face. So you could say I know the importance of these run throughs all too well. And so does Megan Garmers, of MG Hair & Makeup. With her experience making brides look their best, she’s a pro from the very start when they walk in with their inspiration pics.

1. Photos Are Essential
Do gather pictures of looks you like, but also gather examples of things you do not like (this may include a prom picture of yourself). Understand that each picture doesn?t need to be an example of the entire look you want to try – it could just be the front of one style, the back of another, or the contoured look on one picture and the ?too-contoured? look of another. Having more pictures than less allows your artist to see the spectrum of your desired look. It also helps give specific examples of what a ?romantic updo and smokey eye? means to you because it may mean something different to your artist.
