After months of planning, your Big Day has finally arrived, your packing your bag and sorting out your last few bits, now to make sure you have what you need for the actual day.
When your makeup is applied properly and professionally you shouldn’t really need to top up your makeup throughout the day. Many of my past brides and clients have even commented on how their makeup has lasted until 4am or even they have said their makeup lasted until the next day. But still it’s important to be prepared for that one tear to many so you can look fabulous all day And night. First two products up are non negotiable, that is a lipstick to top up and a powder.
Powder is simple, you shouldn’t have to use it, but sometimes we might feel a bit sweaty but no shine is actually come through, but we like to have it for the T-zone and upper lip. Powder doesn’t need to be applied all over the face as this will cause you to lose your blush, highlight and contour. So really it’s good to have incase.
Powders
The powders I recommend are any of these:
Charlotte tilbury flawless filter shade 2, this works for all skin tones https://www.charlottetilbury.com/ie/product/airbrush-flawless-finish-2-medium
