BRIDAL
Elegance in Every Stroke
Your wedding day should be nothing short of magical, and we believe every bride deserves to feel relaxed, pampered, and beautiful from the moment she begins getting ready. At Contoured by Katie, we offer a luxurious, stress-free bridal makeup experience designed to make you feel like the queen you are.
​
Your 2-hour appointment begins with Katie’s expert touch, as she applies a full, traditional makeup look with false eyelashes, creating a flawless, long-lasting finish. She takes the time to provide luxury skin preparation, tailored to your specific skin type and concerns, ensuring your skin is nourished, radiant, and perfectly prepped for the big day.
​
On your wedding morning, there’s no need to worry about a thing! Katie will bring everything necessary for your makeup application, including professional-grade chairs, tables, lighting, and mirrors, so you can relax in a comfortable and beautifully set-up space. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the moment – from the soothing atmosphere to the personalized, expert service that’s all about YOU!
​
As part of your bridal package, you’ll also receive a complimentary makeup touch-up kit, which includes extra beauty sponges with foundation, powder puff with additional powder, blotting sheets, lip touch-up, and a mint. This ensures you're prepared for the day ahead and can keep your look fresh and flawless throughout your celebration.
​
To help you feel even more confident and prepared, Katie also provides each bride with a comprehensive Wedding Preparation Guide. This invaluable resource is tailored to your individual needs and goes into detail about:
​
-
Skin Preparation: Step-by-step instructions for creating the perfect canvas for your wedding makeup, including personalized recommendations for skincare based on your skin type.
-
Beauty Treatment Timelines: A detailed schedule of what to do in the months leading up to your wedding day to ensure your skin is at its best.
-
Product Recommendations: Specific products and brands selected for your unique skin type, ensuring your skin looks and feels its best.
-
Morning Wedding Makeup Timeline: A well-organized timeline that helps you plan and stay on track so you can enjoy a smooth, stress-free morning leading up to your ceremony.
​
We understand the importance of cherishing every detail of your wedding day, so Katie will also capture professional before-and-after photos and videos of your stunning makeup. These memories are sent to you after the event, allowing you to relive the joy and excitement of your wedding morning forever.
​
With Contoured by Katie, your bridal makeup experience isn’t just about looking beautiful – it’s about feeling serene, confident, and radiant as you step into the next chapter of your life.
Bridal Trial
While bridal trials are not mandatory, they are highly encouraged and strongly recommended to ensure your wedding day look is absolutely perfect. A trial gives us the opportunity to meet in person, discuss your vision, and bring your dream bridal look to life based on your inspiration. It’s the perfect time to experiment, see what works best for you, and fine-tune any details.
​
​A trial is especially important if you've never had your makeup professionally done. It’s the best way to get comfortable with the process and ensure that you love the way you look. Wedding makeup is also different from your everyday makeup—what works for daily wear won’t necessarily translate the same for your wedding day. You'll need a little more product and a more refined technique for the makeup to show up beautifully on camera and last throughout the entire day and night. This extra attention to detail will help you feel confident that your makeup stays flawless from "I do" to the last dance.
​
During the trial, we can explore different styles, shades, and techniques to find what you love—and just as importantly, what you don’t. It’s a great chance to address any concerns, adjust to your preferences, and create a game plan for your big day. This way, you can walk down the aisle with complete confidence, knowing your bridal makeup will reflect your vision and make you feel radiant and at ease.
Makeup That Matches Your Bridal Vision
When it comes to your bridal makeup, choosing the right artist is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your big day. Your wedding photos are a timeless keepsake, and you want to look back and feel confident, radiant, and truly your best. That’s why it’s so crucial to pick a makeup artist whose style you absolutely love and align with.
​
As a specialist in soft and full glam makeup, my work is designed to make you feel like a glamorous version of yourself—think Hollywood red-carpet style, flawless and camera-ready, but still looking "natural" in person. If you love bold, high-impact makeup and want to shine on your wedding day, I’m the artist for you. However, if you prefer a more minimal, barely-there makeup look, I might not be the best fit. I believe in giving my brides the full experience of elevated glamour and radiant beauty—so if that’s what you're dreaming of, we’ll be the perfect match!
​
Take your time to research and find someone whose style makes you feel amazing. Your wedding day is all about you, and your makeup should reflect the vision you have for yourself on this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. With that said, I encourage you to explore my galleries and social media to get a better sense of my signature style, previous bridal looks, and whether we’re the perfect fit for each other!
