Every Wedding Beauty Essential To Keep On Hand During The Big Day

Feel fresh and flawless from the ceremony and beyond.

If there’s one moment in our lives that we want to remain as camera-ready as possible, it’s definitely the day that you’ve got a photographer snapping your every angle. For some of us, that may be a momentous birthday. For others, it may be graduation – but for many, it’s a wedding day.

After all, throwing a wedding is arguably stressful enough without having to wonder if your lipstick has been kissed away during the ceremony or if your skin is giving ‘shiny sheen’ rather than ‘bridal glow’. So to ensure that you stay feeling fresh and flawless throughout the big day, we’ve rounded up a few beauty essentials to stow in your clutch.

A powder foundation

Pre-wedding jitters left you with a few dark circles or blemishes to contend with? Keep your bridal makeup in place by investing in a concealer that can do double duty as both an under-eye brightener and camouflage blemishes or redness to save precious space in your clutch.

You never know when you’re going to need a hair tie until the exact moment that you realise you forgot to pack one. Add an emergency silk hair fastener to your bag to ensure that your hair can quickly and easily be secured if needed without leaving behind any telltale kinks or snags.

A flake-free mascara

A flake-free mascara

If you’ve chosen a spring or summer wedding, chances are you’ll be dealing with a little humidity – which can be disastrous for eye makeup that’s prone to transfer. Opt for a flake-free formula that can revive and redefine your lashes throughout the day without creating clumps or smudges.
