What should a bridal makeup trial test beyond how the finished look photographs?

Direct answer

A makeup trial should test comfort, wear and the client's actual preferences, not only the appearance of one edited photograph.

Discuss products, coverage, eye comfort and the expected event conditions, and record the agreed look without assuming it must change natural features. Tell the artist about relevant sensitivities and seek clinical advice for medical concerns. Ask what will be different on the wedding day. A successful trial helps clarify the service but cannot guarantee that a product will never cause a reaction.
