Your ultimate wedding day beauty kit

Your ultimate wedding day beauty kit

Your dream wedding dress fits like a glove. Your bouquet is fabulous; your accessories, subtle; your shoes, feminine. Now it’s time to put together the perfect beauty kit for the big day.

Makeup: Natural or glam?

Most brides opt for a simple, natural look and add a few touches of dazzle here and there. However, some decide to be more daring and choose the ultra-seductive smokey eye, for example.

In the end, your makeup must reflect your style and your personality. That’s why you should do a few trial runs before the big event.

Must-have products

When it comes to creating a gorgeous look that will stay put for hours and bring out your best features, you’ll want to have certain cosmetics on hand.

Primer for face and lips

  • Smooth over face and eyelids before applying makeup. Primers help extend the hold of your other products.

Long-wear foundation (12 to 14 hours)

  • Choose a light, natural and luminous foundation.

Loose powder

  • Try a “light-reflecting” product.

Pink or peach blush

  • Opt for pearly or satiny finishes.

Black lengthening, curving or volumizing mascara

  • To avoid the raccoon look as soon as the ceremony starts, select waterproof mascara.

Eyebrow shadow

  • Go for a matte hue that matches your eyebrow’s natural colour. (Well-groomed, well-shaped eyebrows will structure your face and highlight your eyes.)

Long-wear lipstick

  • Avoid sticky gloss.

Makeup setting mist

  • Apply when makeup is complete. It will boost the hold of other products for hours.

The extras

To up the glam factor a bit, you can also add these products to your beauty kit.

Bronzing powder

  • Apply sparingly to the forehead, nose, chin, cheekbones, temples and décolleté.

Sparkle eyeliner

  • Draw a line just above the upper lash and add a touch to the bottom corner of the eye.

False lashes

  • Select lashes that come in strips. They are easier to apply and give more natural results.

The basics

  • Paper tissues
