Glowy, long lasting bridal makeup recs
I have super dry skin so I love to look glazed and shiny. (So jealous of the girls that have oily skin ngl) anyways I use this as skin prep but then I also use it at the end of my makeup with my setting spray and I’ve been loving how it looks and lay...
glazing mist
A must coming from someone who has dry skin. It layers so nicely under makeup and the glow is everything 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
Elf Dew Drops
You need the shade confident pink. Trust me. I originally found this from a bridal makeup artist on TikTok and she swears by it!! And it obviously helps that it’s affordable. It layers so nicely and has the perfect amount of pigment that lasts a long...
Infallible Infallible 24H Freshwear Soft Matte Blush Face Confident Pink
My favorite palette is “rose frequency” it has the perfect amount of shades and exactly the right ones for a bride. Even if you’re not a bride I think the colours are so flattering and it’s a great palette to have when you want to do an eyeshadow loo...
Morphe ChromaPlus 12-Pan Eyeshadow Palette
Such a good brand I still can’t believe how affordable it is. I love that it has hyaluronic acid in it as well
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Face Cream
A STAPLE!!!! I got the darker shade so that it gives me a bit of a tint as well, but you totally don’t need to do that. Next time I repurchase I think I’m going to get shade 902 and just really use it to give me some glow instead
L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Highlighter
Now hear me out… I get one of the darkest shades (that matches my undertone) and use it as contour first before I do anything else makeup wise. I like to use it to under paint. It has neverrrr failed me I do this every time I do makeup I don’t know h...
Elf Halo Glow
My favourite favourite favourite drug store foundation you need to add it to your makeup bag. It just melts in your skin and has the perfect amount of coverage that doesn’t look cakey
Loreal True Match Foundation
One of my favourite setting sprays of all time. I have zero complaints my makeup has looked so much better ever since I started using this
L'Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
Saw a bridal MUA using these. Great for exfoliating and getting all that dead skin off to make your makeup go on smooth
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads 60ct
You’ve obviously heard about the Rhode milky toner, this is the exact same thing (but cheaper!!) everyone knows in order to get your makeup to stay and look flawless in person & in photos - you need to SKIN PREP!!! It all starts with the skin. Th...
THAYERS Milky Face Toner with Snow Mushroom & Hyaluronic
Hair products you will NEED
This was used by a professional on my hair when I was in a wedding party and whenever I do my own trails I incorporate it on me as well. You’re going to be outside, wind, sweat, stress, photos, veil, people touching you, etc etc the last thing you ne...
Luxe One Leave-In
Another thing you wouldn’t think about, but you will need it. It makes your hair look shiny and healthy but also keeps it into place. It’s not too thick either
Redken Spray Wax Invisible Texture Mist
An essential if there’s one thing you’re going to want, regardless on how thick your hair is, it’s a good volume powder
Powder Hair Volume
Need need need. If there’s no texture, your curls won’t hold. Your updo will fall out. Everything will fall. Your strands need something to grip onto. I was always under the impression that because I have thick hair I don’t need anything like this an...
Living Proof Full Texturizing Foam
Decor to give you that Pinterest board feel
Sue me but if I’m going to your wedding, as much as I love you, I don’t need a personalized candle with your guys’ name and date on it or a bottle opener or whatever other customized item you can give me. I would much rather something like this
Scratch Card Holder. Wedding Favour. Lottery Ticket envelope. Personalised Favor. We tied the Knot. Scratch off holder. Scratchie Envelope
I think this is so classy and chic. Love the bow detail!!!!
Card box Sage green wedding, Personalized box, Wedding box Sage green wedding, Money box Green Modern Minimalist wedding, Gift for couple
Something about that script writing paired with the texture of the paper😍😍😍
Wedding "Cards and Gifts" Sign- Handmade Deckled Paper- Wedding Signage - Elegant Custom Wedding Sign
So chic. So timeless. You can reuse it afterwards too in so many different ways. I think it is adorable
Fabric Wedding Sign Personalised Wedding Welcome Sign Fabric Sign Custom Linen Wedding Aisle Decor Boho Wedding Arch Decor
Way more adorable than the typical cylinder ones that you see. And why do I find these to look more timeless anyway??? I love how they look in cylinder vases filled with water all at different heights
Floating Candles: Home & Kitchen
Safety first ;)
This means one less thing you have to worry about. You will never know until it happens
Wedding Recovery Kit: Liquid IV, Eye Patches, Gum
Another great one. This one is more hands on. You never know what can happen on your wedding day and you don’t want to worry about a loose thread or dog hair on your dress or stubble under your arms
