How To Make Your Wedding Makeup Last

For all upcoming brides-to-be, bridesmaids, maids of honour and guests, we’ve curated an edit of affordable skincare, makeup products and tools to help make sure you look stunning and feel your best for the ceremony AND the after-party. The recommended wedding day beauty look? Soft glam makeup. The middle ground between the ‘no makeup’ makeup look and full glam, this monochromatic aesthetic is timeless (and bonus: it photographs well).

Step 1: Prep & Prime Your Skin

Your wedding day beauty prep should begin a few weeks in advance, so your complexion remains balanced, smooth and hydrated. Start by exfoliating your skin once or twice a week, followed by regularly replenishing and repairing your skin with hyaluronic, niacinamide and salicylic acid to boost its moisture levels. Take notes on our PS…Blemish Back Spray, it’s a must-have if you’re not feeling totally confident about your backless dress choice. You’re welcome.

Step 2: Classic Eye Makeup

As much as we love playful makeup, the classic smokey eye look suits everybody – and can be enough to make your eyes pop, without doing too much. Start by soaping and brushing up your brows to create a more sculptured look, before applying a light brown eyeshadow onto your eyelids.

Step 3: Foundation & Concealer

Creating the perfect base with a photo-ready finish is a must. Opting for a weightless yet high-medium coverage formula, such as our Flawless Glow Foundation, will help create a seamless, radiant complexion for your soft glam look. It’s a yes from us.
