Galway Races Make Up - Make Up tips, for any occasion

Getting Glam for the Galway Races: Your Complete Guide (and Why You Should Book Your Makeup Appointment Today!)

The Galway Races are one of Ireland’s most glamorous summer events—where style, sophistication, and social flair meet high‑octane racing. From your statement hat to your perfectly tailored dress, every detail counts… including your makeup. Whether you’re the life of the parade ring or just want to feel confident all day, here’s how to achieve a flawless, long‑wear look—and why you should secure your private, luxury makeup session with us now.

Why Professional Makeup Makes All the Difference

  • Long‑Lasting Wear: Outdoor days, shifting weather, and hours of photos demand makeup that won’t budge. A pro knows the best primers, waterproof formulas, and setting techniques.

  • Photogenic Finish: You’ll be snapped from every angle—race-day galleries, social media, and of course, your own memories. An expert balances coverage, glow, and texture for camera-ready skin.

  • Stress‑Free Morning: Skip the trial-and-error at home. Relax in a luxury city‑centre studio (or even in the comfort of your hotel room), while we handle everything from color matching to final touch‑ups.

1. Skin Prep: The Foundation of Flawless Makeup

  1. Cleanse & Exfoliate
    A fresh canvas is key. Gently cleanse to remove any build-up, then exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment to smooth texture and boost radiance.

  2. Hydrate & Prime
    Galway’s summer breeze can be drying. We start with a deeply hydrating moisturizer and a dual‑action primer—matte where you sweat, dewy where you glow.

  3. Custom Color Match
    Light, medium, full coverage? Satin, matte, or natural finish? Your artist will blend foundation shades on‑site to find the exact hue for your undertone and desired coverage.

2. Bonus Tips for a Seamless Day

  • Touch‑Up Essentials: blotting papers, your lip color, mini powder

  • Hat & Hair Coordination: Bring your fascinator or headpiece to your trial (or appointment) so hair and makeup work in perfect harmony.

  • Trial Runs: If you’ve never worked with us before, book a trial session 1–2 months ahead. That way, your look is perfected well before race week.
