Love Wins

Price$425

Description

Do both you and your future spouse want full makeup and/or hair services? Our Love Wins package includes makeup OR hair for two on their wedding day, onsite at the same location (e.g., the same hotel room). Previews are additional. For both hair and makeup, please choose two packages. For partners who want grooming and not a full makeup look, please add our grooming services!

Most daily makeup needs to hang in there from about 8 am to 5 pm. And that’s without smiling constantly, smooching your partner, and don't forget photos! You dropped a pretty penny on your photographer, so you want to make sure you’re happy with your photos when you get them back. Professional makeup is made for the long haul and most importantly, it will look natural both in person and on camera.

If you want pro results, you have to have a pro kit! While each makeup artist's kit is a little different, you'll see everything from brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Ben Nye, Pat McGrath, MAC Cosmetics, Laura Mercier, Nars, Temptu, RCMA, Dior, Makeup For Ever and more. You might also see a few drugstore brands -- sometimes, you have to go with what works.

Sure! But consider this: first and foremost-- big salons – no matter how early you book your appointment – are notorious for running behind. You can't hang with your bridesmaids, and the makeup at most salons is made for daily wear -- not for photos. Plus, most big salons don't have makeup artists on staff. Let us come to you, so you can relax and enjoy your day.

Naturally curly bridal hair
We had such a smooth experience working with BRIDEface from start to finish. Their team was easy to talk to and made the whole process feel relaxed, even with all the wedding planning stress. They really understood my naturally curly hair and knew exactly how to make it look its best on my big day. The makeup held up perfectly throughout the ceremony and reception, and they even finished ahead of schedule so we had extra time to breathe before walking down the aisle. The quality of their work was outstanding and felt like great value for what we paid. I would definitely recommend BRIDEface to any couple looking for beauty professionals who are both talented and genuinely fun to work with.

Amazing/ Talented
BRIDEface was amazing to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. Their communication was fast, understanding, and they were on top of everything. The quality of their work was simply elegant, beautiful, and stunning. They made me and all my bridesmaids, mother of the groom, and mother of the bride feel absolutely beautiful. They understood all of our unique needs and no one left unhappy. It was an easy and great experience overall. I had some concerns about my hyperpigmentation, and Julie set me up with their specialist Jane who made my skin look flawless. The whole process was amazing and I highly recommend using BRIDEface for your wedding day beauty services.

Natural Wedding Makeup
Had a great experience with Kendra for my wedding. She did not only my makeup but all my bridesmaids and the mothers. Everyone looked amazing and like themselves but better. Even better, the makeup stayed put ALL night. Would book again with Kendra!

Great Team
Leslie and Jonye at BrideFACE were amazing! I booked this company to do hair and makeup for myself (bride), the wedding party, and the mothers. I also did a hair and makeup trial with them, which was great, as I was able to test out the look ahead of time. Despite having quite a few people, all with different looks and questions, they were both quick and steady with their work, ensuring everyone was in and out of the chairs on schedule. The last hair and makeup was finished around 1, the party went until midnight, and despite rain, humidity, dancing, and more, everyone still looked amazing at the end of the night. The airbrushed makeup was incredibly light and the ability to do individual lashes was also a plus - we really appreciated the attention to detail and perks of working with this vendor. Leslie and Jonye were also so easy and fun to talk to, we really appreciated their personalities and the light they brought to the day. I highly recommend their services!

BRIDEface is an exceptional wedding beauty team that I highly recommend. They are active listeners who make you feel comfortable, positive, and supported throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is exceptional - they are efficient, pay close attention to detail, and are incredibly reliable and creative. On my wedding day, they went above and beyond to make me feel confident and beautiful. They also listened carefully to all my bridesmaids, mother-in-law, mom, and flower girls to ensure they felt beautiful as well. BRIDEface truly helped make our special day even more perfect.
