This dress is such a win — it’s elegant but not over-the-top, super comfy (you gotta think about the dancefloor, too!), and the color is perfect for a summer wedding. It flatters any body shape, and bonus: it’s not see-through. Honestly, it’s one of ...

It keeps everything in place — perfect for when you’re wearing a dress that shows your shape. It’s comfy enough to wear all day, and it makes me forget to stress about my belly. Total peace of mind in underwear form!
SHEIN Shaping Underwear

This bra really does its job — it sticks and stays in place (it remains sticky even after several uses). If you apply it right, it will give your breats a really nice, subtle push-up look without feeling too much. The best part? You can adjust how yo...
SHEIN Backless Strapless Sticky Bra

Nine West has such a good range of heels — stylish and comfortable, and perfect for bridesmaids. You can definitely find something that calls your name and will click with your dress. 

I personally like to grab two pair of shoes when I’m going to a wedding: heels for the ceremony and some elegant sandals for the reception. You can find both at Nine West.
NINE WEST Bridesmaid High Heels

Such a pretty, elegant little detail — it won’t steal the spotlight, but it definitely elevates your whole look. Works with pretty much any hairstyle: bun, braids, down, you name it. It’s the kind of accessory that quietly ties everything together an...

If you’re after that natural, glowy look, this is perfect. The coverage is light and natural, yet it manages to even everything out beautifully. Plus, it's very comfortable to wear, it doesn't feel like having anything on. It stays put all day, no sm... 

I usually just swipe it on, blend it with my fingers, and that’s it — quick, easy, and ready to go. It really is a multitasker - you can use it alone, or under foundation, it's up to you!
RIMMEL Better Than Filters Multitasker

I save foundation for big occasions like weddings, and this one’s my go-to. It’s mattifying, so make sure you apply just a thin layer so it won't end up looking cakey — remember, less is more! 

I like to pair it with a glowy primer and a dewy setting spray to keep the look balanced and fresh. It's easy to blend, lasts pretty well and works great with the other products I like to use. Definitely one to try if you want something reliable with...
CATRICE HD Liquid Coverage Foundation

It comes in a bunch of shades, so it’s super easy to find the right one for whatever you’re dealing with (dark circles, redness, discolouration, etc.). I use the yellow one to brighten up those purple under-eye circles in the morning, and it works li...
SHEGLAM Liquid Colour Corrector

This range has beautiful shades that will look natural on your cheeks. They are very easy to work with and they are the prettiest on the cheeks. Perfect shades and perfect quality, ideal for for professionals as well as for beginenrs.

It'll forever be my favourite blush - after all, she is the one who made me a blush girl! Seriously, if you told me a few years ago that I would be a blush lover, I wouldn't have believed you. Turns out I just needed the right product to learn to use...
LAURA MERCIER Color Infusion Blush

Whether you want to shape, draw, or fill in - it delivers. Always. It doesn’t smudge, it doesn’t fade, and you can keep it natural or build it to achieve a more defined look. Perfect for a wedding when you want your brows to look their best.

This is my forever favourite brow product. Also, the amount that comes in the jar seems little but it lasts forever. I've had mine for over two years, it still works perfectly, and I still have some left that will last me a good while.
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Dipbrow Pomade

THE bridesmaid’s palette. It’s soft, girly, elegant, and glowy — the perfect choice for a pink-toned look. Most of the shades are cool-toned pinks or purples, with a few other shades that also have gorgeous purple undertones. Super blendable, super b... — they’re shiny, sparkly, and have the prettiest shifts. 

What I love most is that it feels elegant and classy, but it still lets you get create unique and creative looks.
HUDA BEAUTY Rose Quartz Eyeshadow Palette

They're creamy enough to glide on and make adjustments, but not so creamy that they smudge or slide around; they stay put rather well. It comes in many different, mostly nude shades. A solid lip liner that gets the job done without any fuss.
NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil

This formula is super comfortable - it's not sticky at all and feels light on the lips. The pigmentation is fine, and many shades contain sparkles that will give you a subtle, elegant finish - perfect for a wedding.

Like any other lipgloss, you'll need to reapply it every few hours. However, it wears off in a way that's not too noticeable.
KIKO 3D Hydra Lipgloss

If you're team matte lipstick, this one won’t disappoint — especially on a big day like a wedding. It lasts through everything (honestly, it could survive an apocalypse), so eating, drinking, dancing? No problem. Once it dries down, it stays — no smu... 

I totally recommend this if you’re after a long-lasting option — just make sure to practice a bit before the special day. You might want to learn how to work with it, because when you apply it, it dries fast and won't move for God's sake. I also reco...
MAYBELLINE Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick

If you want something that lasts longer than a lipgloss, but is not a hardcore matte formula, I recommend Maybelline's Superstay Ink Crayons. They are comfortable, they don't dry the lips and have a beautiful finish.
