Your wedding day, whether a large celebration or small elopement, is one of the most important days you will have, and of course, the most photographed. Looking perfect on your wedding day is every bride’s wish, from the dress to hair and nail polish. Even if you are having your makeup professionally applied, there are several essential items to take with you to keep your makeup looking flawless. We have come up with all the products your wedding makeup bag- 9 things you should have to keep your makeup intact all day.
Primer
Whether you are having your makeup applied by an expert or applying your own, use a primer to keep your foundation set all day. Before you apply primer use a moisturizer. You could give your skin a facial the night beforehand to really make your skin pop on the big day. Colloidal oatmeal is a good product to use to soothe any dry skin and clear up any problem areas on your face in time for your special day.
Concealer
Concealer is a must-have for any touching up throughout the day. With possible tears of pure happiness and joy, smudging is likely to occur! Keep your concealer in your bag in case you need to top it up.
Lip Balm
Lipstick can dry out your lips over the course of a long day. Lip balm will help solve that problem in an instant. You could try a rosy-colored Chapstick that is a similar match to the shade of your lipstick, so your makeup look isn’t affected too much, or use a clear and glossy Vaseline so your lipstick stays in place.
Lipstick or Lip Gloss
Sipping plenty of whatever your celebratory beverage might be could spoil your nicely applied lipstick, so you may want to top up the lipstick you are wearing as the day goes by. Bring the lipstick along with you or keep hold of a similar shade of lipstick if you had a makeup professional use their own products. Some makeup artists offer to provide touch up kits as part of their service, so consider asking your stylist about this before your big day.
Translucent Setting Powder
There is usually plenty of dancing to be done on your wedding day, so have the powder that you used to set your makeup on hand for touch-ups. With so many friends and family members snapping photographs on their smartphones, a good setting powder will cause your makeup to stay fresh and looking matte in any photos.
False Eyelashes
If you choose to apply some false eyelashes on top of your mascara, it would be useful to put a spare set with some applicator glue in your makeup bag. It’s always better to be prepared and have your spare goodies at hand, especially if you decide to wear lash extensions on your special day. Many brands offer lash extensions kits that include the applicator, specially formulated glues and the lash set. If you will not be having your makeup artist around during the party, try at home eyelash extensions a couple of times before the big day. Accidents can happen with falsies, so you won’t regret being prepared. Your trusty waterproof mascara is also a good product to have with you.
Hair Grips and Pins
Don’t worry about your hair getting out of control, hair grips and pins will solve any flyaway hairs straightaway.
Hairspray Another simple way to fix any fall outs in your hairdo, hairspray will help put your look back together in case anything becomes loose.
Deodorant
Of course, you would like to smell nice and fresh for the whole day. Deodorant is an incredibly important item to keep in your bag. From getting ready and changing in and out of clothes to running around sorting out last-minute details to dancing on the dance floor, your wedding day will be quite an active day, so have a small antiperspirant spray to hand.
Complete your makeup bag with any other essential items you think you might need. Provided that you have a few of these main items, you are all set.
