Your wedding day is one of the most memorable in your life, and of course, you’d want that makeup of yours to be perfect from the initial look to the final dance. But with all the tears of joy, laughter, and perpetuity hours, your makeup gets a little touch-up along the way.
To make sure that you still look fresh and radiant during the day, the following are surefire makeup touch-up must-haves that any bride should keep in her makeup kit.
- Blotting Papers – Bye Bye Shine
If you’ve got oily skin or are gearing up for heatwaves, blotting papers are your BFF. They soak up excess oil without disturbing your makeup, giving you a clean and matte face. Pat them lightly over your T-zone, forehead, and chin whenever shine is happening.
- Translucent Powder – Hold Your Makeup
A light dust of loose powder sets and holds your makeup. It is ideal for brides with oily skin, as it smoothes out your foundation, is not greasy and patchy. Brush it lightly on; do not over apply it, or the cakey effect will be created on your face.
- Concealer – Conceal Any Spots
Even the most flawless makeup can need a touch-up after some time. Concealer in a tiny tube is the ideal thing to have on hand to use for an instant touch-up on spots, dark circles, or flush that show up on the face throughout the day. Just dot lightly and blend in for a smooth, even finish.
- Setting Spray – Keep Everything Fresh
An excellent setting spray helps keep your makeup intact and from smudging or melting, especially during long ceremonies and outdoor weddings. Spray it on your face after applying makeup and apply it daily to upkeep your look.
- Lipstick or Lip Gloss – Get Your Lips Photo-Perfect
Your lipstick will probably wear off after eating, drinking, and all those beautiful smiles. Include your favorite shade in your touch-up kit for quick reapplication. For increased wear, pre-line with a lip liner and use a smudge-proof product.
- Blush – Add a Fresh Pop of Color
Blush will fade with time, particularly if you have oily skin or are perspiring. Have a compact blush and light brush handy for quick touch-ups and re-painting that flush of color.
- Mascara – Define Your Eyes All Day
In case you expect a few tearful moments, keep waterproof mascara handy. Keep a travel-sized wand handy for touch-ups to refresh your lashes and keep eyes bright and defined.
- Eye Drops – Brighten Up Tired Eyes
Receptions are an endless bash, and your eyes are dehydrated or swollen. Make them instantly feel freshened with a shot of moisturizing eye drops, and they’ll be wide-eyed, looking and staring wide.
Your wedding day is an all-day, emotional event, and you want your make-up to keep pace with the times. With these simple touch-up basics, you’ll be bright and photo-finish-fresh from ceremony to reception.
