CLIENTS & FEATURES
Hair and makeup in Riverside South
Your Riverside South makeup artist, from skin prep to send-off
Riverside South is one of Ottawa’s newer neighbourhoods, a fast-growing community of family homes and parks between the Rideau River and the airport. Barrhaven is just across the Vimy Memorial Bridge, and Manotick is a few minutes south along River Road.
Most brides we meet here prefer to get ready at home, surrounded by family. We arrive with professional lighting and every product we need, and because great makeup starts with healthy skin, we share a simple prep plan as soon as you book.
Skin prep
Your bridal skin prep countdown
Makeup sits better on calm, hydrated skin. This is the plan we suggest to Riverside South brides, starting a few months before the wedding.
01
3 months before
Book any facials or professional treatments now, and keep anything new or intense well away from the final weeks.
02
1 month before
Settle into a gentle routine: a mild cleanser, a good moisturiser and daily SPF. This is not the time to try new actives.
03
1 week before
Drink plenty of water, get your brows shaped, and skip exfoliating scrubs or peels that could leave skin red or flaky.
04
The night before
Cleanse, moisturise and sleep in. In the morning, arrive with clean, bare skin and we’ll take care of the rest.
