Beauty Prep Checklist: How to Get Ready for Holidays & Events

Planning a holiday or getting ready for a special event? Whether it’s a beach getaway, a wedding, or a big night out, feeling confident and looking your best starts with a little beauty prep. At 1921 Bronzing Parlour, we’ve got you covered with this simple, step-by-step checklist to help you glow from head to toe.

1. 2 Weeks Before: Teeth Whitening

A bright smile makes a big impact! Book your professional teeth whitening session at least two weeks before your event. This gives time for any sensitivity to settle and lets the full effect of your treatment shine. Our Naturawhite system is safe, gentle, and can lift your smile by up to 16 shades in just 45 minutes.

2. 10 Days Before: Spray Tan or Sunbed Sessions

For that sun-kissed glow, decide whether you’d like a sunbed tan or a spray tan.

  • If you’re choosing sunbeds, start with short sessions 2–3 times a week to build a gradual tan safely.

  • Prefer a spray tan? Book your appointment 2–3 days before your event for the best, most natural results.

We use award-winning Rose & Caramel spray tan products for an even, streak-free finish that lasts 7–10 days.

3. 1 Week Before: Lash Lift & Brow Lamination

No need for mascara or brow pencils! A lash lift and tint paired with brow lamination gives your eyes a fresh, lifted look and your brows a fuller shape—perfect for a no-makeup glow on holiday or at an event. These treatments last up to 6–8 weeks and require no daily upkeep.

4. 3–5 Days Before: Nails & Manicure

Whether you go for gel, acrylic, or a classic manicure, book your nail appointment a few days ahead. This ensures your nails stay flawless through travel, parties, or multiple outfit changes. Choose a style or colour that complements your event wardrobe or holiday vibe.

5. 1–2 Days Before: Spray Tan Touch-Up & Teeth Gems (Optional)

Add a bit of sparkle with a tooth gem—perfect for photos and special nights out! This quick, non-invasive service adds personality to your smile and can last from a few months to a year.
If needed, book a spray tan top-up 24–48 hours before the big day to deepen your glow.

Final Tips

  • Exfoliate your body before tanning treatments for the most even finish.

  • Hydrate your skin and drink plenty of water—glowing skin starts from within.

  • Don’t leave it all to the last minute! A little planning goes a long way.
