Skin Prep
I used this skin prep on every person. These products are safe for sensitive skin/all skin types.
Absolutely worth the money. The #1 key to a hydrating, long-lasting glow.
Rhode - Glazing Milk
This moisturizer feels sooo good on the skin! It's not too heavy or lightweight, but just the right of in-between. Sits so well under makeup and great for sensitive skin.
Target - Prequel Lotion
The key to a bright eye.
Target - Lumify Eye Drops for Redness Relief - 2.5ml
You can't forget to hydrate those under eyes!
Sephora - Extreme Cream Eye Firming & Contouring Refillable Eye Cream
Foundation
I used the Armani foundation on myself (dry/combination skin), the Maybelline on oily skin, the L'Oreal True Match on combination skin, and the L'Oreal Serum on my mom and mother-in-law.
I did so many foundation trials to find the perfect one, and this one took the cake. This has the ultimate skin-line finish that provides great coverage and a radiant glow. Absolutely worth the money.
Sephora - Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation
A more affordable option, yet still effective. This is more of a matte-finish, but you can still achieve a dewy look with the right products. Definitely will last all day, and in my opinion, the foundation only gets prettier the longer its worn.
Target - Maybelline Super Stay Up to 30HR Wear Lumi-Matte Liquid Foundation
Such a beautiful, silky, skin-like finish. This is a great Luminous Silk foundation dupe.
Target - True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
Perfect for mature skin. Provides a light coverage with a beautiful glowy finish…and lasts.
Target - L'Oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Makeup Skincare Hybrid
The best foundation brush out there!
BK Beauty - 101 Contoured Foundation
Concealer
I used both concealers and applied with a damp beauty sponge.
An essential product for a full glam. Make sure this shade is similar to your foundation, for the ultimate airbrushed effect. Put this on your t-zone and buccal region of face.
Sephora - Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer with Hyaluronic Acid
The perfect full coverage concealer that will last all day. Put this on top of the Too Faced concealer to brighten and for an airbrushed look.
Sephora - Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Matte Buildable Coverage Waterproof Concealer
I haven't purchased another brand of beauty blenders after trying these.
Amazon - Makeup Sponge, 10 Pcs Set
Bronzer & Blush
I highly recommend using cream products in your bridal routine. This will help with longevity and flash resistance.
This cream bronzer blends so smoothly and adds the perfect warmth.
Ulta - Juvia's Place Honey Bronzed Cream Bronzer
Not only is this brush great for cream bronzer application but also blush!
Sephora - Makeup by Mario F4 Dual-Ended Foundation and Face Brush
If we have the same skin tone, this is the perfect cream/powder blush for your wedding day. It's like the ultimate bridal blush.
Sephora - Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
This blush is so underrated! The dusty rose shade is the perfect bridal tone and it blends so well.
Target - e.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush - Dusty Rosé
Powders
I prefer a loose setting powder over a pressed.
You've heard about it, and the rumors are true…this powder bronzer is that girl.
Target - Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
Keep it simple, this brush offers a smooth bronzer application.
Target - Real Techniques Ultra Plush Powder Makeup Brush
This product speaks for itself. Literally the best loose setting powder on the market.
Sephora - Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Longwear Setting Powder
You don't need anything fancy! These get the job done.
Amazon - 12pcs Powder Puffs for Face
Highlight
I use my finger to apply this product.
Gives the perfect radiant glow. Not too glittery, and almost comes off as dewy.
Target - ColourPop Super Shock Cosmetic Highlighter
Literally the best highlight to exist.
Sephora - Benefit Cookie Highlighter
Eyes, Lips and Brows
I actually don't like eyeshadow on myself, so any palette recommendations I make were used on my bridal party.
Perfect for a slight outer corner smudge look. I don't usually do a wing, so I would recommend a liquid liner if you plan to do that.
Target - e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner - Black
The most beautiful false lashes, ever. I used these on myself.
Sephora - Mini Me Lashes
I used these on my bridesmaids, mom, and MIL. May need to be trimmed.
Target - Ardell Naked 420 False Eyelashes - Black - 4pr
This is the ultimate palette, and really the only one you need.
Sephora - Eyeshadow Palettes, Kits & Cream Eyeshadows
These brushes are actually really great quality. I love the small brushes in this set specifically.
Amazon - Makeup Brushes Set 27Pcs
The key to long-lasting falsies!
Target - KISS Products Lash Couture Super Strong False Eyelashes Adhesive
This liner is so creamy and gorgeous!
Target - e.l.f. Cream Glide Lip Liner - Truth or Bare
This is the ultimate budget friendly bridal lipstick. It is so beautiful and holds up pretty well.
Target - e.l.f. O FACE Satin Lipstick
I don’t usually need to do much with my brows but this adds a nice little touch for a full glam look!
Target - Eyebrow Pencil
Setting Spray
This combo is guaranteed to keep your makeup in place ALL DAY.
Completely saturate your face completely with this spray, first. Immediately fan yourself until completely dry.
Target - e.l.f. Stay All Night Micro-Fine Setting Mist
Next, (hold your breath) and spray with this. Your makeup will not budge.
Sephora - On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
