Wedding Makeup: All the products you need!
When it comes to Bridal makeup that's long lasting and wear-proof, quality products can really make all the difference. BeautyMarkz has listed their top go-to wedding day makeup essentials. These never fail choices are must haves to keep your makeup in place long after the celebrations are over!
PRIMER
Applying a primer prior to your foundation is a must! Laura Mercier Foundation Primer pictured above ($40) creates an invisible layer on your skin, acting like a buffer to outside elements. This results in a longer lasting color true result in your foundation. The original primer is a lightweight creamy gel texture, but a hydrating and oil-free formula are also available, so make sure to chose the appropriate one for your skin type.
FOUNDATION
With the limitless selection of foundations out there, searching for the one that's your perfect fit can be
exhausting! One of our faves is Makeup Forever High Def Foundation ($46). It also photographs beautifully. This oil-free, medium to full coverage formula smoothes out imperfections, leaving your skin with that airbrushed look we all covet! It is available in a variety of shades, so it can match each skin tone to perfection.
LOOSE POWDER
Along with using a Primer, another artist trick is to use a loose powder to set your foundation. Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder ($44) is an extremely lightweight, translucent powder with a light reflecting ingredient, reducing fine lines and imperfections. Apply either with a powder brush or puff for a sheer application and to extend the wear of your foundation.
HIGHLIGHTER
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Apricot ($49) is a pearl powder compact that adds a soft peachy glow to the skin. This color looks stunning on everyone and with just a swipe of a brush on cheekbones, brow bone, and chest, you will get a natural dewy look that shines.
EYELINER
Whether you’re looking for a smoky or perfect cat eye, Bobbi Brown Gel Liner ($25) will do the trick. Available in a multitude of colors, this product is so versatile you won't ever want to use anything else! Another great trick for mesmerizing eyes is to apply Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Topaz ($24) along your waterline (the area where your lower lashes sit). Instead of black, (which requires endless trips to the ladies room to re-apply), this soft pencil liner instantly awakens eyes and glides on for a super easy no mess application!
SETTING SPRAY
After your makeup is applied, never leave your house without using this next miracle product. Get your flawless look to stay put with Model In A Bottle ($30). This one-of-a kind matte finish setting spray holds your foundation and eye makeup in place throughout the day and night!!
These products are guaranteed to keep you fresh and flawless on your Big Day. And best of all? They are all great beauty staples for your makeup bag!
