Funny you mention mishaps; I once had a bride who decided to use a setting spray that was way too glittery. It was like a disco ball during the ceremony! I’ve found that educating clients on the importance of a soft finish can save everyone from a surprise on the big day. @MeganR, you really nailed it with the tips on color theory; it’s crucial for matching that ‘natural look’.

And i totally get that! Once, I used a setting spray with too much shimmer on a bridesmaid. It was like the sun exploded on her face! :joy: @Guide, sometimes less is more with those products.
