Nothing is more important than feeling your absolute best on your wedding day, especially when it comes to hair and makeup. As a makep artist, I decided to do my own makeup for my wedding , I do my makeup everyday, I know what works for my face and my skin, and I know what I like so it only made sense! Even though I was doing my own makeup , i still practiced several times before the big day. I played with many different looks and even on the day off I kind of just winged it! Besides how the makeup looks , it is important to use products that will last all day and night in whatever conditions. My ceremony began at 4:30 pm , I started getting ready at 11am, it’s a no brainer that I needed something bullet proof and long wearing, so here is what worked for me!
Quick tip: make sure to drink lots and lots of water leading up to your big day, your skin will thank you for it!!
the holy grail wedding products….
1. Skin Prep…
I toned my face withe the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Toner, this stuff is amazing and refreshing, the cucumber extract really helps soothe the skin. For moisturizer I used my Bobbi Brown Hydration Face Cream. I absolutely love this face cream, I like to only use it on special occasion as it is pretty pricey, but hey it was my wedding!!
2. Prime…
To prime my face I used the Benefit Porefessional Matte Rescue Primer. Holy shizz this stuff is great at keeping your skin matte and grease ball free all day!! This primer is a gel so it helps at absorbing any additional oils, plus it had a nice cooling effect which was great!
3. Face….
DING DING DING!!!! The most imporant part of a flawless base if your foundation!! I went with my holy grail and also the foundation I use on every single one of my bridal clients, the Bobbi Brown Long Wear Even Finish Foundation!!! I LOVE this stuff. This foundation is great at giving a natural skin like finish, it isnt cakey and most importantly it lasted all night long with no touch up!! I live in Florida, so no touch ups is a miracle.
All other face products were bobbi brown, bronzer and blush. Use whatever colors compliment your skin the best!
4. Eyes…
I used my MAC Warm Neutrals Palette. For my eye makeup I wanted something smokey but not too intense, and definitely something gold so this worked great and lasted all night. I used the darkest shade in rhe palette as a smokey liner as well! For mascara, I went with the Too Faced Better Than Sex Water Proof.
5. Lips…
LINER!!!! THIS IS CRUCIAL! In order for your lips to stay poppin for a long time you need to line your lips. This will give the lipstick something to adhere to other than your lips itself. I went a bobbi brown liner as well as lipstick. I carried a gloss with me incase I wanted to touch up that evening but I couldn’t be bothered doing so!!
6. Setting…
I used a combo of the UD Chill Setting Spray & MUFE Mist and Fix Setting Spray. These two are my holy grails on a daily, the UD is cooling on the skin and releases a colling effect whenever your face gets icky and hot, and the MUFE is great for longevity.
I love this! 💖
