Ready for your bridal spa makeup appointment? Don't be intimidated by your makeup stylist's experience. Use these helpful talking points to communicate your personal style with your makeup artist. Remember, it's all about what you want. Don't be afraid to be pushy when it comes to getting that look.

1. Bring in your makeup. Let your artist see the shades and types of makeup you normally wear. This will help your artist understand what shades and tones you prefer.
   
   
2. Describe your makeup routine. Be sure to explain the difference between your everyday makeup look and your evening and special occasion routine.
   
   
3. Spend some time looking at the wedding spa’s makeup selection. Ask your technician to explain her favorite products and why she likes them.
   
   
4. Ask for an at-home routine to help you prepare your skin for your wedding day. Your makeup tech may recommend specific face washes, toners or moisturizers.
   
   
5. Describe your favorite celebrity makeup looks. Try bringing in red-carpet looks. Think of your wedding as your chance to go red carpet glamorous.
   
   
6. Don’t be afraid to tell your makeup artist if you’re not happy with any aspects of your bridal makeup. That’s what a trial run is for. You should be completely happy with the end result of your practice session.
   
   
7. Make sure your wedding makeup ideas match the formality and style of your dress. Wear a white shirt that exposes your shoulders and collarbones. Put your hair in a headband or ponytail. This will help you picture what your makeup will look like with your full bridal ensemble.
   
   
8. Bring one trusted friend to keep you company and take pictures of your final look. Tell her what you want your makeup to look like, then ask her opinion after the makeup has been applied. While you're having your makeup done, she can enjoy wedding day spa treatments.
