Whether it’s a wedding, a holiday party, or a birthday celebration, looking and feeling your best starts with the right beauty prep.
A go-to guide for perfectly timing treatments ahead of your next event, from what and when to book and to how to space them out for the best results, as well as a few key tips and tricks, we've mapped out for your complete prep-to-party timeline, with absolutely everything you need to know.
The Ultimate Pre-Party Beauty Schedule
2 Weeks Before
Lash Lift: Lash lifts are a low-maintenance way to give your lashes a natural curl and lift without the need for extensions. Since the results typically last 6-8 weeks, having it done two weeks before your event gives your lashes time to settle into the perfect curl, ensuring they look stunning.
Brow Tint & Shape: Your brows frame your face, so getting them shaped and tinted a couple of weeks in advance gives you time for any redness to subside and lets the colour soften to a more natural look. This timing also ensures your brows will be at their best on the big day.
1 Week Before
Brightening Circadia Enzyme Facial: A week before the event is the ideal time for the brightening, resurfacing facial. This will leave your skin glowing and refreshed without the risk of post-facial redness. Opt for a treatment that includes exfoliation and hydrating masks to slough off dead skin cells and reveal a luminous complexion. Avoid any harsh peels or new treatments, as they may cause irritation.
Our tip: Book an LED light the week of your event, at any point right up until the day before - this will help give an added glow and a dewy hydrated base.
3-4 Days Before
Leg Wax: For smooth, hair-free legs, get your waxing done about 3-4 days before your event. This gives your skin time to calm down and reduces the risk of any lingering redness or bumps. Waxing at this stage also ensures that your legs will stay silky for the event without any last-minute touch-ups.
Spray Tan: If you’re planning to get a spray tan, do it about 2-3 days before the event. This allows the tan to fully develop into a natural-looking glow. It also gives you time to shower off any excess tan so you’re not left with an overly dark or streaky finish. Be sure to exfoliate your skin before your spray tan to ensure an even application!
NOTE: Make sure to leave at least 24hrs between your leg wax and spray tan appointment to avoid any irritation.
1-2 Days Before
Mani/Pedi: Your nails are one of the final touches to your party-ready look. Scheduling your mani and pedi 1-2 days before ensures your polish will be fresh and chip-free. For longer-lasting results, you can opt for gel polish to keep your nails looking flawless through the entire event. Be sure to moisturise your hands and feet to keep them soft and smooth.
The Day of
Hydrate, Relax and Enjoy!
On the day of the party, all your treatments should be complete, so you can focus on final touches like hair and makeup. Make sure you drink plenty of water, get enough rest the night before, and get some morning movement ahead of the event, and leave yourself enough time to get ready without rushing.
By following this beauty treatment schedule, you’ll ensure that your skin, nails, and lashes are all in perfect shape, leaving you to confidently shine at your next big event. Planning ahead is key to achieving that flawless, party-ready look.
