A flawless complexion that lasts all day, an unforgettable gaze, and the peace of mind of a professional who has accompanied over 500 brides across French-speaking Switzerland.
Your wedding day is unique — your makeup should be too. In Geneva, Soraya Slama accompanies you with a personalized approach: a trial session to define your look together, long-lasting products tested in real conditions (heat, tears, flash photography), and meticulous execution on the day. Whether you dream of a luminous nude, a soft smoky look or full glamour, the result always honors your natural beauty.
A makeup approach designed for brides
Making up a bride is not the same as makeup for a photoshoot or evening party. It needs to last 12 to 15 hours, survive an emotional ceremony, hundreds of photos from every angle, and a dancing reception. Soraya works with a proven routine: skincare prep adapted to your skin type (mature, combination, sensitive), long-lasting bases, HD setting sprays for photo finish, and a minimal touch-up plan throughout the day.
Every face is different. The shape of your eyes, the position of your brows, the luminosity of your skin — everything is analyzed during the trial to adapt techniques (cut crease, halo, lower smoky) and the color palette (warm golds, cool peaches, neutrals). The goal is not to transform you, but to reveal your best version.
The bridal trial: the essential appointment
The trial takes place 1 to 3 months before the wedding, usually in mid-morning to assess how the makeup holds throughout the day. It lasts 1h30 to 2h. We discuss your dress, your planned hairstyle, your venue, your Pinterest inspirations. We test several eye intensities, several lip textures. You leave with a complete look you can photograph, show your hairdresser, and adjust until the wedding day.
The trial is also when Soraya advises you on your skincare routine in the weeks before the wedding: cleansing, hydration, a radiance treatment to schedule 7-10 days before. At SoBeauty's Home, you can combine the trial with a signature facial to prepare your skin in the best conditions.
The wedding day in Geneva or on-site
Two options. The first: you come to SoBeauty's Home institute, rue St Léger in the heart of Eaux-Vives. Serene setting, natural light, professional equipment — many brides prefer this moment of calm before the day's commotion.
The second: Soraya travels to your home, hotel or reception venue, in Geneva and across the canton (Carouge, Cologny, Versoix, Bellevue), as well as Lausanne, Montreux and around Lake Geneva on quote. She brings all her equipment and sets up a light makeup station. For weddings starting early, she can be on-site from 6am.
Group services (mother of the bride, witnesses, bridesmaids) can be added in the same slot.
Recognized by Geneva's hotels and photographers
Soraya regularly collaborates with Geneva's major venues and their teams: Four Seasons Hôtel des Bergues, The Ritz-Carlton Hôtel de la Paix, Mandarin Oriental, Hôtel Métropole, Beau-Rivage, as well as renowned wedding photographers across French-speaking Switzerland. This field experience guarantees smooth coordination with other vendors (hairstylist, photographer, wedding planner) and a sharp understanding of the constraints specific to upscale weddings in Geneva.
