The key to great bridal makeup is using cosmetic products that have intense staying power – we're talking waterproof formulas and more pigment. After all, having your makeup slipping off and melting mid-ceremony is a terrible predicament to be in (not to mention a very likely predicament as the weather gets warmer). So here are some bridal makeup tips & tricks + bridal makeup products that will keep you looking fresh and beautiful all day, all night. Wipe that frown and smile.

Here Comes the Guide

  • Invest in a Good Base

    You need the best primer in the market as your bridal makeup base – we recommend the Smashbox Finish Foundation Primer. Not only does it smooth over pores and imperfections like a dream, it also amps up the longevity of your foundation. And once you're done applying your makeup, lightly dust your face with a good setting powder – this will minimize shine and further seal your look.

  • Colour Correct & Conceal

    Get the L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer to fix dark marks and redness. Before applying bridal makeup foundation, use the green corrector to neutralize red marks, the red corrector for brown pigments, then swipe over them with the yellow corrector – your blemishes will disappear. After foundation, add an extra layer of coverage with a good concealer – like the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind.
