Top 10 Makeup Must-Haves For Your Big Day

Modern Wedding Posted: September 1, 2020

Have you ever wondered why professional makeup always stays flawless? We have the answers! Check out our top 10 list of all the best makeup must-have products that bridal makeup artists can’t live without.

Via Kate Ellen Makeup Artistry

Prep perfection…

Before starting any makeup, remember that preparation is key. Mac Cosmetics Softening Lotion works wonders at removing unwanted texture from the skin, leaving a polished blank canvas.

Via Myer

Wedding day glow…

Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow Primer is a MUST to achieve radiant skin. Apply underneath your foundation for radiance everyone aspires to have!

Via Charlotte Tilbury

Silky smooth…

Yes, the price tag is enough to cause shock but there is a reason why every makeup artist uses this for brides. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation is impeccable for creating the ultimate complexion.

Via David Jones

Ready, Set, Stay…

Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder is the go-to for anti-budge! The soft light dispersing powder smooths and sets – something you’ll definitely want on your big day.

Via Laura Mercier

Bridal Blush…

There is a reason why this blusher is known worldwide. Not only for its name..but because of how universal the colour is! Ask anyone for a blusher recommendation and 9 out of 10 people will say Nars Orgasm Blusher.

Via Mecca

Eye Magnet…

Imagine spending 30 minutes on a perfect eye look for it to slide off 1 hour later. The fix? Use Mac Cosmetics Paint Pot as a base. This little pot of genius will hide imperfections, hold the shadow in place and intensify the pigment. They also come in many different shades to go with any look you’re creating.

Eye Envy…

A soft smokey eye is easily achieved with the Bobbi Brown Nude Drama II Eyeshadow Palette. The gorgeous 12 colours will create a stunning flirty eye look everyone will be jealous of.

Via BobbiBrown

Lip Locking Love…

Between all the kisses, eating and drinking, you won’t have time to be topping up your lipstick all day. Use Mac Cosmetics Lip Primer to lock your lipstick in place. This non-sticky first step is revolutionary to the makeup game.

Via Mac Cosmetics

Smudge-proof Speeches…

A bride without waterproof mascara is like a wedding without cake…it just isn’t complete! You also need to make sure you are always prepared for some teary eyes. L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof will keep your lashes dry and voluminous.

Via Ulta

Dance All-Nighter…

Urban Decays All Nighter Setting Spray does what it says on the bottle. Remember the trend of hairspray over makeup? Think that but less sticky and better for your face. Your makeup will have you dancing all through the night and still look freshly applied.
