10 Make-Up Essentials in your Bridal Beauty Kit

dolceSPOSA — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:22:38 +0000

Check out our top ten bridal make-up essentials for your special day – little things that you want to be sure are close at hand..

Waterpoor mascara – make sure you use a waterproof mascara and to keep this in your bag for touch-ups. This will prevent mascara smudges when you dry those tears away.
Lip Gloss – it will be great if you can bring all three lip esentials – your lip liner, lipstick and lip gloss. But if space is an issue, then just have a neutral colour lip gloss for that gorgeous pouty look.
Blusher – keep the rosy glow on your face all day by applying this whenever you feel the need to.
Concealer – brighten up those eyes with a concealer pen whenever you retouch and don’t forget to dab it with some loose powder for a more natural look.
Blotting paper – you may not always have the chance to go to the ladies to retouch with your loose powder so a blotting paper will come in handy to keep you looking fresh
Perfume – smell good all day and bring with you a small perfume.
Make-up remover swab – it is the most emotional day of your life so it is understandable to have an overflow of tears and even waterproof mascara might not work. And if that happens this will come in pretty handy.
Mini toothbrush– do not ruin all your wedding photos with stained teeth from the red wine so bring a mini toothbrush with you to keep that bridal smile all day and night. Bring two for you and hubby.

Here are some products many brides have sworn by, loved and can’t go without even after their big day! Some are award winners and some are just great products to have! We particularly love the Laura Mercier lip glace as it comes in small sizes so it is really ideal for your wedding make-up essential kit!

I am sure many brides-to-be will love this new revolutionary technology pioneered by Jan Marini called Marini Lash. It is a miracle product that promises all you ladies out there beautiful and longer eye lashes in just three months. Celebrities like Penelope Cruz is said to be a big fan of this product and I am seriously curiouos to try it myself. I thought I’d share this product to all our readers and maybe this is one product you can put on your to-buy list so you get to try it out and see what the results are. Guess it won’t hurt to try something new and if the results are good, then you can have gorgeous and longer eyelashes on your wedding day without having to use fake eyelashes.

Marini Lash is sold in the market at £99.00. It is a bit pricey but if the results are great, then i guess it is worth the money compared to your monthly eyelashes extension renewal.
