Updated: Nov 10, 2022


The role of the bride can have you scattered in every direction - thoughts of décor, table seating, videographer, number of guests and speeches! Here at Glow, we don’t want you to forget our favourite part…Beauty! We want to make that part is easy for you, so, our team has developed a 12-month guide to prep you to feel absolutely special on your magical day! After all, you are the star of the show!


12 Months

The planning has started! It’s time to begin your beauty journey and find the perfect plan for you. Book a consultation at Glow, as we dive deep into the skins major concerns and figure out the best products and treatments that can transform your skin. Skin essentially takes time to adapt to products and needs a generous number of treatments to achieve that Hollywood glow, that’s why it’s perfect to start right away. A great bonus at Glow Beauty bar is that we offer treatment packages that are a year’s worth!


11 Months

Health is wealth! Just like skincare, fitness takes time to achieve, give yourself a generous amount of time to get to your wedding dress body. This lessens the pressure and disappointment of trying to achieve a fitness goal with short notice! Implement a weekly meal plan and workout routine to stay on track – a great addition to keeping track can be snapping monthly progress photos to keep you motivated.


10 Months

Enhance your health and fitness journey by incorporating the necessary vitamins and supplements you need to keep yourself and your skin healthy. With Advanced Nutrition Programme (now available at GLOW) we can assist you in nourishing your body and achieving your perfect skin from the inside, out with the right supplements and vitamins. For more information on how you can boost your journey to achieve healthy, clear skin, check out our “Get the Glow” acne e-book!


9 Months

Now we're getting to the nitty-gritty! Start planning the specifics so that you won’t be stressed closer to the date! By specifics, we mean photographers, videographers, MC, seating charts, etc. Here’s a little tip we have for you, get everyone on board! Send out thorough emails to assignees of what should be done and what you’d like to get done and set a good time frame. Try your best not to leave anything last minute as it will leave you feeling scattered and anxious.


8 Months

Let’s talk skincare at home! Perfect skin doesn’t happen overnight! Getting a head start on your at-home skincare routine is vital to achieving the skincare goals and results you want to see on your wedding day. It can take 4+ months to see changes in your skin, therefore we want to ensure you have ample time to get clear, healthy, glowing skin in time for your most photographed day.


7 Months

We highly recommend coming in for monthly facial treatments at GLOW. If you are struggling with acne, hyperpigmentation, or are dealing with any other skin concern, a monthly facial visit will allow you to effectively treat your skin conditions to achieve the best results!


6 Months

Time to start thinking about your hair and makeup! Do you want to keep your hair down and loose or out of your face in an updo? Are you looking to go for a more full glam look or something more natural? It is important to pre-plan and envision how you want your hair and makeup to look on your special day to ensure the look and style is well suited for your hair type and facial features.


5 Months

After choosing your gorgeous dress next is…your SHOES! But wait… they looked great in the store, they fit perfectly & they go great with your dress, so what’s the problem? You need to break them in! Slowly start to work in your heels prior to your wedding day, break them in so they aren’t as stiff, and your feet can get used to wearing them for long hours.


4 Months

Now it’s time to think about makeup! Check your favourite magazines, Pinterest boards or social media makeup gurus and find a look that you love! Once you’ve chosen the look, take it to your makeup artist and have them test it out. This trial is very important because it ensures that the makeup artist can do this look for you successfully on your wedding day and it also ensures that you like the makeup look!


3 Months

Re-check in! Check in with your assignees and make sure everything is going on the right path. Fix any loose screws ahead of time to make sure you’re not disappointed on your big day. Re-check in with your venue staff, they manage multiple weddings on a weekly basis, so make sure that they don’t fall through the cracks with what you need and expect.


2 Months

Enjoy a night out! Don’t forget to keep yourself sane by taking a break away from wedding duties. Find hobbies or activities to get your mind off some of the stress! Don’t forget to have a social life.



1 Month Away!

4 Weeks

Treat yourself! Try some other treatments that will make you feel great for your big day. Here are some great add ons that will boost your esteem: teeth whitening, Turkish bath, lymphatic body drainage, your wedding day perfume, spa body wraps or salon hair treatment with a scalp massage. These are just a few ways to get yourself prepped and ready to feel and look your best.


3 Weeks

Get your wedding day goody bag ready! On the day of your wedding, everything happens so fast that you may forget some essentials, at Glow we suggest that you pack items that you’ll constantly need such as, lipstick, powder, powder brush, water, breath mints, napkins and perfume.


2 Weeks

With 2 weeks left until the wedding day, you are likely feeling very overwhelmed and anxious. Take things easy this week and give yourself time to relax. Keeping stress low is important for your health and especially your skin! Get plenty of rest, drink tons of water, and go for a massage.

1 Week Away!

With the final week arriving, get your beauty sleep and wake up in a timely manner for the next few days leading up to your wedding day to avoid puffy, sleepless eyes. Apply your eye cream morning and night and try putting ice packs over your eyes (and ice any little friends that may have popped up) for 10-15 minutes to aid in depuffing. If you are looking to get any waxing or threading done, whether that be waxing your legs or threading your eyebrows, we recommend doing this 4 days before the wedding! This will ensure your skin has enough time to calm down after any irritation. Book your bridal mani and pedi 3 days before the wedding to ensure your nails are looking fresh and pretty.

Wedding Day

It’s finally your special day! With tons of prepping and organizing, it’s time to relax and enjoy everything that you’ve worked for. Don’t forget to savour every moment as it goes by so fast, snap photos, enjoy the laughs, snack, stay hydrated and feel beautiful. At Glow Beauty Bar we hope we can share this special journey with you by guiding you and making you feel beautiful on your wedding day.


Congratulations to the beautiful bride on your wedding day

I know you all have a daily makeup routine, but do you have a makeup brush cleaning routine?

Now more than ever we should be sanitizing everything - don’t overlook your makeup brushes!


5 reasons why cleaning your brushes regularly is very important:


1. Makeup brushes accumulate bacteria over time when they are not cleaned, which can cause acne breakouts and other skin conditions.


2. Makeup brushes also accumulate dead skin cells and oil, leading to clogged pores and further breakouts.


3. Dirty brushes can cause irritation and redness to your skin if the brush hairs quality is not looked after.


4. Dirty brushes will further contaminate your makeup products, as all the bacteria, oil and dirt will transfer onto your products after continued use.


5. Makeup build up does not allow for smooth application.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It is important to clean your makeup brushes regularly as part of your beauty routine to remove any makeup residue and more importantly, any bacteria that can be bad for your skin and health.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Cleaning your brushes is a simple and easy task using the Glo Makeup Brush Cleaner.

Follow these 3 simple steps for a quick clean:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1. After using each brush, spray with Glo Makeup Brush Cleaner.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

2. Gently wipe the brush against a clean paper towel to remove spray and makeup.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

3. Allow brushes to fully dry before your next makeup application.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Cleaning your brushes with the Glo Makeup Brush Cleaner can be done as often as everyday, but deep cleaning (with the brush cleaner and water) is recommended weekly.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For a deep clean follow these 4 steps:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1. Rinse brush hairs under water, with the brush handle up, ensuring no water enters the base of the brush.


2. Squeeze out excess water from the brush hairs and spray with the Glo Makeup Brush Cleaner.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

3. Use the palm of your hand as a surface to clean your brush, swirling the brush in circles to get the residue makeup out.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

4. Give your brush another good rinse with water, squeeze out excess water, and leave to dry.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Glo Makeup brush cleaner is a great option as it helps reduce bacteria that can grow on your brushes. With a pleasant smell, this fast drying product is sure to make your beauty routine even easier!



Other tips on how to take care of your makeup brushes:


-Spray your brushes with a brush cleaner for a quick clean between colour changes


-Avoid getting the ferrule (base of the brush) wet during washing - this will prevent the glue from getting soft so that the makeup brush hairs don't become loose and start falling out


-Ensure your makeup brushes dry in a downward position, to further ensure no water gets into the ferrule


-Always store your makeup brushes in a clean container, and keep covered if stored in the bathroom


-Never share your makeup brushes with anyone


-Opt for makeup brushes that are animal friendly (faux hair)


Remember: clean brushes means cleaner makeup which means cleaner skin.
