You’re crossing the Atlantic for the sun, the wine, and that “Old World” soul. But when it comes to your face? You don’t want “Old World.” You want The Real Deal. You want that red-carpet Contouring that makes you look like a million bucks, not like you just woke up from a siesta.
Short answer: It depends. If you hire a random planner who picks the cheapest vendor, you’ll end up with a “natural look” that’s basically just moisturizer and a prayer.
The Myth: “Spanish stylists only do subtle.” Total BS.
The Reality: We have elite artists who master the premium style. They know HD skin, waterproof lashes, and how to sculpt a face for a 12-hour party under the Mediterranean sun. Quality has a price. If you want a Kardashian finish, don’t expect a “Low Cost” budget.
“José, how do I do a trial if I arrive on Wednesday and marry on Saturday?”
Virtual Brifing: If your stylist doesn’t ask for a Zoom call months before, they aren’t pro.
No Filters: Stop sending me Pinterest photos with 14 filters. Send me your face in natural light.
The Express Trial: We do it on Thursday. Period. If it’s not perfect, we fix it right there. We are here to be Divas, not to be “polite” and look average.
I’ll say this once: NEVER, ever, check your wedding dress. Do you want it sitting in a warehouse in Frankfurt while you’re crying in Seville? I don’t think so.
Travel Tip: The dress stays with you in the cabin. Ask for the Coat Closet. Be nice to the flight attendants, and they’ll treat that garment bag like royalty.
Steam is your God: Once at the villa, hang it up. Make sure your team has a professional steamer—not a travel toy that spits water on your $10k silk.
The Mic Drop: Don’t leave your face or your dress to luck. You want security, you want control, and you want to look spectacular. Listen to the expert or prepare for the disaster.
“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades… but a killer contouring definitely helps.” — Audrey Hepburn (with a reality check by José Levy, Senior Planner).
