Test colour, shape and finish
Victoria Coombes Makeup Artist
Makeup trials for brides and occasions
A trial appointment to test the look, wear, colours and lash style before the day itself. Victoria works in a calm, practical way, so the appointment feels organised and the finished makeup still feels personal.
What to expect
Makeup Trials with a calm, practical appointment
Makeup Trials appointments are built around the reason you are getting ready, not around a fixed template. Some clients want very soft makeup for daylight. Others want more definition for photographs, evening light or a larger room. The first step is to understand the date, the setting, what you normally wear and what would make you feel comfortable. From there, the makeup can be kept clean, balanced and suitable for the time you need it to last.

Questions
Makeup Trials FAQs
Useful answers before you send an enquiry.
How do I book an appointment?
Send a WhatsApp message with the service you are interested in, the date, the time you need to be ready and where the appointment would take place. Victoria can then confirm availability and the next steps.
Do you cover mobile appointments?
Mobile appointments may be available for weddings, groups and selected occasion bookings across Folkestone, Canterbury, Dover and South East Kent. Please include the full location when enquiring so travel time can be checked properly.
What should I do before my appointment?
Arrive with clean skin unless agreed otherwise, avoid trying new skincare on the day, and bring any inspiration photos, outfit details or notes on products you know work well for you.
Can you work with sensitive skin or allergies?
Please mention any allergies, sensitivities or previous reactions before the appointment. You are welcome to bring your own trusted products if that is safer or more comfortable for you.
When is the best time for a trial?
A trial is usually most helpful when you know your outfit, hairstyle direction and event timings. For weddings, many brides book it after the main style choices are settled.
Can I test more than one look?
Small adjustments can usually be made during a trial, such as lip colour, liner depth or lash style. If you want two very different full looks, mention that before booking.
Should I take photos after the trial?
Yes. Take photos in daylight and indoor light, then check how the makeup feels after a few hours. That feedback is useful before the final appointment.
Can I bring inspiration photos?
Yes, inspiration photos are useful, especially if you can also explain what you like about them. The final look can then be adapted to your features and comfort.
