Base Products That Never Betray Me
I’ve worn this for 12+ hours and it still looks like skin. Not cakey, not patchy just glowy, breathable coverage that hides everything without hiding you. It even holds up through sweating and crying.
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
This is what I use when I want that soft, expensive glow. I mix it into foundation or wear it under, and every time someone says, “Your skin is amazing,” it’s because of this
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster
It gives me full, flawless coverage without feeling heavy, and it doesn’t move. At all. I’ve cried in it, danced in it, even hugged 20 people and it still looked airbrushed at the end of the night. If I needed my face to last 12+ hours and still look...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
This foundation is perfect long-lasting for normal and dry skin.
Luminous Silk Perfect Natural Glow Foundation
As someone who wants full coverage without looking like I’m wearing a mask, this one nails it. It’s matte but still has this soft, blurred-skin finish that looks amazing in photos. I wore it to a wedding, and it didn’t budge even after sweating throu...
Teint Idole Ultra Wear Breathable Coverage Foundation - Lancôme
Eye Makeup That Survives Tears
Every shade in here is wearable and bridal-perfect. I use the soft taupes and shimmers for a sculpted but romantic look. No fallout, no muddy blending just soft glam perfection.
Glam Eyeshadow Palette | Neutral Shades
This is the only liner I trust not to smudge under pressure. It’s creamy enough to blend out, but once it sets it’s locked in. The warm brown shade makes my eyes pop without feeling too harsh.
24/7 Glide-On Eye Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
If I don’t use this, my eyeshadow creases by the ceremony. If I do use this, my eyeshadow is still perfect when I take my lashes off at midnight. Enough said.
Shadow Insurance 24-Hour Eyeshadow Primer
These are my no-fuss, no-drama lashes. They’re soft, fluttery, and look like my lashes just better. I can wear them all day without even feeling them.
KISS MLBB LASHES SO REAL 03
I brush this through my brows once and they don’t move all day. No crunch, no flakes, just lifted, laminated-looking brows that frame my face perfectly in photos.
24-Hour Brow Setter
Lip Products
This is the only liner I’d trust on my wedding day. It stays on through eating and drinking, and it makes my lips look full without looking overlined. I’ve worn this to every event and it’s never failed me.
Pillow Talk - Lip Cheat - Nude Pink Lip Liner Pencil
This is that bridal nude—soft, velvety, and never drying. I wear it with the Pillow Talk liner and get compliments every time. It looks especially gorgeous in professional photos.
True Velvet Lip Colour | Velvet Muse | Lisa Eldridge Makeup
This one’s a classic for a reason. It’s creamy, stays put, and works with every skin tone. I’d wear it alone for a matte nude moment or layer it with gloss for something juicier.
M·A·Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick | Including Velvet Teddy, Taupe, Mehr & ...
This one is always in my bag. It’s hydrating, shiny without being sticky, and gives that fresh, glowy lip look even if the rest of my makeup is 6 hours old.
Dior Lip Glow Oil: Hydrating & Protective Lip Oil | DIOR
If you want something you can throw on quickly and still look radiant this is it. I’d keep it in my bridal clutch for touch-ups and it would 100% be in every one of my photos.
Lip Comfort Oil Hydrating and Plumping Lip Oil
