Your makeup can be one of the most important parts of your big day… well minus the dress of course! It’s important to feel and look your absolute best but also make sure your makeup stays all day and all night. Whether you want a dramatic smokey eye or something more dewy, we’ve put together a list of our tried and true favorite products you can’t go without.

Foundation and Powder

The key to long lasting makeup is an excellent foundation and powder. We suggest an airbrush finish foundation that is waterproof for your big day. We recommend doing a practice run with your makeup when you have one of your dress fittings… that way you can see the entire look together. Remember to use a translucent setting powder to bake and set your foundation. A translucent powder won’t add glare in photos. We recommend keeping your translucent powder  with you all day to help with any emergency makeup touch ups.
