I am sooo excited as I get to celebrate my cousin getting married all weekend long!!
Everyone knows, and if you don’t, I LOVE weddings. Through rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies, receptions, and of course wedding day makeup preparation for the bride to be, it’s all fun to me! And since it’s my cousin, I get to visit with family and good friends also which makes it extra special.
For those of you engaged ladies or bridal attendants, here’s a small list of some wedding day basics that will make any bride or bridesmaid look her absolute best for the big day! *Remember*- neutrals are always the best bet for a traditional wedding party so that everyone’s natural beauty shines through and not the makeup.
1. Neutral Eye Shadow::
Bobbi Brown’s Basics Eye Palette($45): The ideal starter set for a makeup novice — and a great travel kit for the makeup lover (or bride on her honeymoon!). This slim palette features four shadows that flatter all complexions: an allover base shade, two shades for the lower lid and crease, and a liner shade. Includes a dual-ended Mini Eye Shadow/Eye Liner Brush for easy application. These four colors are the perfect subtle eye look for being photographed all day long!
2. Pink Lipstick::
MAC’s A Rose Romance Lipstick ($14): This new rose colored collection is a perfect bridal inspiration. This is a midtone rose colored lipstick with a touch of gold to warm up the mouth. Any groom will be wooed to kiss these lips!
3. Waterproof Mascara::
Cover Girl LashBlast Volume Blasting Waterproof Mascara ($8): Waterproof mascara is a must-even if you don’t think you’ll shed a tear, chances are, you will. How can you not?? It’s a wedding! Tears of joy are okay! This is one of my go to mascaras for bridal parties- it seems to make everyone’s lashes pop and seperate with little clumping.
Of course these are just the basics to get started for the perfect “I Do” face, but a great start none the less for the rest of your life together!<
