From contour queens to natural beauties, we all want our wedding day makeup to stand the test of time. From the first kiss to the last toast, achieving a look that only needs a few touch ups can be challenging. But fear not! Below are a few products you can incorporate into your makeup routine that will help you maintain that bridal glow.
Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
Don’t want your makeup to have a meltdown while you cut a rug on the dance floor? This lightweight mist helps maintain your makeup by actually lowering the temperature of your products for a look that lasts all night. Give a quick mist all over your face right after your makeup is complete to lock everything in its place.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Setting your foundation and concealer is an important step that prevents caking and creasing. This translucent powder not only gives you a flawlessly finished look by hiding imperfections, but the shade also looks and feels natural on all skin tones.
Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara
This may go without saying, but waterproof mascara is an absolute must for your wedding day makeup. Not only is this mascara very budget friendly, but its formula gives you great volume and resists smudging. Perfect for those happy tears.
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Using an eyeshadow primer helps maintain and intensify color, while keeping your shadows from creasing or fading. This one from the brand Too Faced can be used with both cream and powder shadows and it’s colorless, so need to worry about it changing your look.
MAC Lip Pencil
While most women (and men) cringe at the thought of a lipstick filled kiss, adding a pop of color to your lips can draw attention to your pout and help to flatter the rest of your features. The best way to lock that lipstick up is by layering it on top of a lip pencil. Start by outlining your lips, then filling them in from the center out. This will not only insure your color, but it will also make your lips look fuller.
BECCA Backlight Priming Filter
Primers are one of the hottest trends in makeup right now, and while the verdict is still out on most of them, beauty bloggers and YouTubers are swearing by BECCA’s Backlight Priming Filter. This primer not only extends the wear of your makeup, but it also creates a diffused, soft-focused radiance that allows your complexion to catch light for a glowing look.
