Why I Avoid Bridal Makeup & Hair Trends (And You Should Too)
“Trendy makeup might look good now, but here’s why I avoid it for bridal looks.”
For over 18 years, JTORRY has been a leading force in the luxury bridal beauty industry, specializing in creating timeless, personalized bridal makeup and hair services. With a deep focus on South Asian brides, we understand the unique cultural nuances and intricate beauty needs that go into creating flawless bridal looks. Our expertise extends not only to our Dallas-based clients but also to those who seek our destination services worldwide. At JTORRY, we’re not just about applying makeup — we’re about creating an unforgettable experience that blends art, culture, and beauty.
Artist Turned Bridal Artist: A Unique Perspective
At JTORRY, our approach to bridal makeup is different from most. Jenny Torry, the founder of JTORRY, is an artist turned bridal artist, and this background gives her a unique perspective. Where most makeup artists view the face as a blank canvas, Jenny sees it as a canvas with its own distinct features that need to be enhanced. Each face tells a story, and it’s Jenny’s goal to bring out the natural beauty of every bride she works with.
The difference between applying makeup and enhancing someone’s natural features is what sets JTORRY apart. Anyone can apply makeup, but not everyone has the artistic eye and expertise to enhance a bride’s individual features to their fullest potential. Jenny’s methodical approach to makeup application ensures that every bride not only looks her best but feels her best, with a look that is both effortless and timeless.
Why We Avoid Bridal Makeup Trends (And Why You Should Too)
At JTORRY, we believe in creating looks that are timeless, not trendy. Bridal trends come and go, but your wedding photos are forever. Over the years, we’ve seen many brides follow the latest makeup trends, only to regret it when they look back at their wedding photos years later. Trends may look great now, but they often don’t age well, leaving brides feeling like their photos don’t reflect who they truly are.
One of the most significant mistakes we see brides make is following fleeting makeup trends that, while they might seem appealing now, can feel outdated in a few years. We remember one co-worker who followed a trendy makeup style for her wedding, and now, whenever she looks at her wedding photos, she feels a sense of disappointment. The makeup didn’t reflect her true self, and now those photos feel like a missed opportunity to capture her natural beauty.
JTORRY’s mission is to ensure that every bride looks back at her wedding photos and feels proud of her look. We use our artistic background and bridal experience to create looks that stand the test of time. Our timeless bridal makeup focuses on enhancing natural beauty, so you feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day. Whether it’s 10 years or 30 years from now, your photos will reflect a classic, elegant beauty that never fades.

South Asian weddings are known for their grandeur, vibrancy, and cultural significance.

Our Founding Story: From Art to Bridal Beauty
The journey of JTORRY began with a passion for art. Jenny Torry always knew she wanted to be an artist, inspired by stories of great painters like Van Gogh. Her love for shading, color theory, and artistic fundamentals guided her into the world of painting. However, after years of pursuing a career in fine arts, she realized that her true calling was bridal makeup.
Jenny’s transition from painting canvases to faces was driven by her desire to create instant impact. Makeup, unlike painting, delivers results that are seen immediately, and this transformation fascinated her. She applied her knowledge of light, shadow, and composition to bridal makeup, creating looks that were not just beautiful but also meaningful. Her ability to see each face as a unique canvas, combined with her artistic background, allowed her to create bridal looks that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Today, JTORRY is recognized as a luxury bridal beauty brand, known for its ability to create flawless, personalized bridal looks. Our clients come to us because they trust our expertise, and they know that we will deliver results that go beyond the ordinary.
JTORRY Makeup Academy: Teaching the Next Generation of Artists
Beyond serving brides, JTORRY is committed to helping aspiring makeup artists elevate their craft. Through the JTORRY Makeup Academy, we teach our signature techniques, from enhancing facial features to building a thriving beauty business. Our academy is designed for artists who want to grow their skills, improve their business acumen, and ultimately deliver better results for their clients.
Jenny’s mission is to inspire the next generation of artists by sharing the lessons she’s learned throughout her career. At the JTORRY Makeup Academy, students don’t just learn how to apply makeup — they learn how to enhance natural beauty in a way that is timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.
Conclusion
At JTORRY, we believe that bridal beauty is more than just makeup — it’s about creating an experience where every detail matters. With over 18 years of experience, we specialize in creating timeless, luxurious bridal looks that enhance natural beauty, ensuring that every bride feels confident and radiant on her big day. Our unique perspective as artists turned bridal makeup experts allows us to avoid the cookie-cutter approach and instead deliver personalized beauty services that are effortless and timeless.
