What Makeup to Pack for Your Wedding Day

Every bride wonders what they need to pack for their wedding day. Although your makeup artist will make sure your makeup is locked tight, some products will need a touch up. At the end of a consult I always give a list of what to bring. I want to share what a makeup artist suggest to pack for your wedding day.

1. Your lip color or lipgloss. The wedding day is very long, you’ll be eating, drinking, toasting, and kissing. You lipstick is the one color on your face that will need to be touched up at some point. Even if you wear a long wear, which I do suggest, always carry a gloss to touch up with! Pictures go all day, and you’ll want that color fresh, so you look your best. My favorite long wear lipstick is Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue. It has a color on one side that dries down to a matte, and a clear sealing gloss on the other end, to give you that glossy look.
2. Q-Tips are also important to carry in your bag. These will come in handy if you cry and have some makeup running, or if you get any eye boogies. It makes it easy to clean up without smearing your makeup.
3. Setting powder is essential if you get oily or sweaty. Although your makeup artist uses all the products to help prevent oily and sweaty skin, if it’s a really hot day, or if you’re nervous, you will need to touch up at some point. My absolute favorite setting powder is Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. It will set your makeup without looking overly matte or flat. I use this in my everyday routine.
4. Blotting papers! Yes blot don’t rub. These always come in clutch
5. Spray deodorant can be sprayed anywhere you maybe sweating. And can be used by your entire bridal party

All your other makeup should stay in place, but if you have a product you can’t live without, like blush or bronzer, go ahead and pack that too! It’s your day and it’s always best to be over prepared. I hope this helped all of you. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to write them below, I’d love to hear more from you.
