As a makeup artist specializing in Seattle Asian bridal makeup, I know one truth:Flawless makeup begins with flawless skin.

While I love designing dreamy, glowing soft glam bridal looks, skincare will always be my foundation. Before I touch a brush, I slow down and prep each client’s skin. It’s my way of saying hello — with intention and care.

Like Marie Kondo greets the space before she starts tidying, I greet the face — gently, with respect.


🧼 1. Exfoliation with 2% BHA

A gentle 2% BHA exfoliant helps remove dead skin, unclog pores, and smooth texture. It mimics your skin’s natural turnover, creating a perfectly clean base for long-lasting makeup.

🌹 2. Toner

I use a toner applied with a cotton pad to rebalance and hydrate the skin. Toners help skincare absorb better — and well-hydrated skin holds makeup longer.

💧 Pro Tip: Try the Seven Skin Method — a K-beauty favorite that gives you a dewy, radiant glow.

💧 3. Hydrating Serum

A hydrating serum is a must. It locks in moisture and gives your skin a plump, soft texture — ideal for natural, glowing bridal makeup.


🧴 4. Moisturizer

Your skin should feel supple, not tight. I use moisturizers that are rich yet fast-absorbing, ensuring the skin stays hydrated without affecting foundation performance. 🌙 At night, I recommend layering a gentle AHA lotion to smooth texture, followed by a thicker cream on dry patches.


👁 5. Eye Cream

The under-eye area is thinner and more delicate. I apply a lightweight yet nourishing eye cream to prevent creasing and enhance the overall softness of the look.


💆‍♀️ 6. Hydrating Masks & Facials

For my Seattle bridal makeup clients, I always suggest booking a hydrating facial 3–5 days before the big day. Especially if you’re traveling or have dry skin, it restores glow and balance.


💍 Pre-Wedding Prep Tips for Asian bride

✅ Eyebrow Shaping

Get your eyebrows threaded or shaped a week before the wedding — not the day before. Fresh grooming can leave the skin irritated, which affects makeup hold.


✅ Teeth Whitening

A bright smile completes the bridal glow. I recommend in-office whitening or trays done at least 1 week in advance.

💬 Final Thoughts

Skincare is the foundation of any soft glam bridal look. When your skin is healthy, hydrated, and prepped with love — your makeup won’t just look good, it’ll look timeless.

I’d love to help you create a look that’s radiant, elegant, and completely you.✨ Whether you're local or flying in, let’s design your perfect Seattle Asian bridal makeup look — starting with the skin.
