What the Trial Makeup Session & Colour Consultation covers

A practical, guided session that brings your makeup and hair colour choices together, so the overall result looks considered and feels easy to maintain.

  • Discussion of the occasion or goal, your usual makeup comfort level, and how you want to feel in the finished look
  • Skin tone and undertone check to guide base shade, warmth and depth
  • Trying key products and finishes on the skin (for example glow versus more matte) to see what photographs well and wears comfortably
  • Testing eye and lip tones so you can see the balance with your colouring, brows and lashes
  • Tips for wear time and touch-ups, including what to prioritise if you want a lighter makeup routine
  • Hair colour assessment, including current colour, regrowth, previous services and hair condition
  • Shade direction planning (depth, tone and placement ideas) to avoid unwanted brassiness, flat colour, or harsh regrowth
  • A clear maintenance plan, including how often you may need toning, refresh appointments and supportive homecare

Trial makeup decisions that avoid last-minute doubt

This appointment suits you if you want to see shades on your own skin, not just in a photo or on a counter. It is especially helpful if you rarely wear makeup, have had shade mismatches before, or need a polished look that still feels like you.

How the session flows: makeup trial, then hair colour mapping

You will talk through your preferences first, then your makeup is applied in stages so you can approve the direction as it builds. The colour consultation follows, using your hair history and reference images to agree the most realistic route to your goal, alongside upkeep and timing.

After the appointment: a joined-up plan for makeup and colour

You leave knowing which makeup tones work, what the finished balance should look like, and what to book next for your colour. Your choices can be noted so your look stays consistent when you return, rather than starting from scratch each time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I arrive with a bare face for a trial makeup session?
It helps if you arrive with minimal makeup so shade matching is accurate and the skin prep can be done properly. If you are coming from work, you can still attend, but expect a quick cleanse first.
Can we try more than one makeup style in the trial?
Yes, within the time available you can compare small adjustments, such as softer versus stronger eyes or different lip tones. If you want two completely different looks, ask when booking so enough time can be allowed.
What should I bring to the Trial Makeup Session & Colour Consultation?
Bring a few inspiration photos, notes on your outfit colours, and any makeup you already love or react to. For hair colour, bring recent photos of your hair in good light and be ready to share your colour history.
Will I get a clear hair colour plan at the consultation?
You will agree a direction for depth, tone and placement, plus the likely maintenance routine. If your goal needs more than one step, you will be talked through a staged plan so expectations are clear.
What if I have sensitive skin or have reacted to colour before?
Tell your therapist and colourist at booking and again on the day so product choices can be kept appropriate. You may be advised on allergy precautions before any colour service goes ahead.
