Bobbi Brown creamy lip colour, £15
Although you don't want to look overdone on your big day, splashes of colour are vital to prevent the dreaded washed out look in your photographs. Bobbi Brown advises, 'neutral and pale lip colours look washed out in photographs, so choose brighter shades of pink, rose and plum.' The creamy lip colour from her eponymous range is perfect, as it combines a long lasting formula with rich colour and soft shine.
Lancôme Hypnôse waterproof custom-wear volume mascara, £19.50
Panda eyes are a big no-no for your wedding day, so a good waterproof mascara is a must have for both the bride, and bridal party. Marieclaire.co.uk's editor Carla recommends Lancôme's Hypnôse waterproof custom-wear volume mascara, which got her stream-free through her sister's wedding day last summer.
Mac strobe cream, £20.50
The lead up to a wedding is notoriously stressful, and can play havoc with your skin. To get things looking flawless, try a moisturising base and brightening highlighter, which will also help your foundation stay in place all day long. MAC Senior Artist Neil Young recommends, 'Start with well hydrated skin using MAC's Studio moisture Fix, follow with Strobe cream down the central panel of the face i.e. forehead, bridge of nose, cupids bow and the tops of cheek bones and powder where desired.'
Natura Bisse Diamond Mist, £48.94
Once your look is complete, then the all-important finishing touches can make all the difference. Natura Bisse's diamond mist acts as a make-up setter, to keep you looking polished all day long.
SK-II Air Touch Foundation, £85
Getting your foundation right is key to wedding make-up, as a flawless base will keep you looking radiant all day long. International make-up artist Pat McGrath recommends SK-II Air Touch Foundation. 'Air Touch Foundation is wonderful,' she says, 'It's very easy to use. The finish is flawless, and the skin continues to breathe underneath it. It’s not heavy and the finish is beautiful and natural looking. To me, it’s a dream foundation.'
Shu Uemera Eyelash curlers, £15
Curling your lashes will give eyes instant definition, without having to resort to heavy make-up. Shu Uemera's are a cult beauty classic, long recognised as the best in the business. Use them to gently life and curl the lashes, making eyes look wide and bright for the all-important wedding photos.
Benefit Benetint, £22.50
A hint of blush is an absolute must for your wedding day, with rosy and peach tones proving best. You want a product that will be long-lasting, and Bentint's should take you all the way from the ceremony to that final dance. Use on cheeks for a rosy glow, and also apply to lips with a cotton bud, so once your lipstick wears off, you are still left with a hint of colour.
Philosophy The Supernatural airbrushed canvas, £32
Mineral powder can give you a gorgeously soft finish, to leave skin looking satin smooth. Philosophy's The Supernatural Airbrushed canvas is a great all-rounder, doing the job of a foundation, concealer and powder all in one, with an added spf 15 to boot. With a sponge applicator, it is also really easy to apply, and to add the odd touch up during the day.
Crabtree & Evelyn blotting tissues, £2.95
An essential addition to any bride's bag, facial blotting tissues may not be the most glamorous accessory, but they will keep you shine free all day long. Use to blot away excess oils, without disturbing your make-up. These Crabtree & Evelyn ones are rose scented and leave a matte powder finish.
Eve Lom Kiss Mix, £12.50
If there is any day of your life that you need to have kissable lips, then this has to be it. Eve Lom's Kiss Mix will give you a glossy smile, and is ideal for quick touch ups during the day.
