1. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation 
This is one of my favourite foundations to use on brides because it suits everyone skin type! Whether you are oily or dry this foundation sits on your skin perfectly. It is a glowing, natural radiant finish foundation which has buildable coverage. It comes in many different shades so perfect for all skin tones.

​2. Pro Longwear Concealer
I love using this concealer underneath the eyes as gives amazing coverage to hide any dark circles. The concealer makes your under eye look very smooth and it lasts all day! I would suggest using a good setting powder to keep it in place.

3. Urban Decay Setting Spray
I personally think that Urban Decay do some of the best setting sprays out there. They may be more pricey but they are worth it for your wedding day! A quick spritz of this after you have finished your makeup and it will hold all day and night. It is a must have for brides

4. RCMA Translucent Powder
Powders are very necessary for any bride whether you have dry or oily skin. The RCMA powder is great as it has no colour to it so won't give you the dreaded flashback. I use a damp sponge to apply the powder. I press it on to the skin with a sponge as it helps keep your foundation locked in.​

5. Make up For Ever Hydrating Primer
Always use a primer on your wedding day as you want your base makeup to last all day. The Make Up For Ever hydrating primer is great for all skin types and gives you a smooth base before applying your foundation. Primers protect your skin from your foundation so you don't have to worry about any break outs.

6. Inglot Gel Eyeliner 77
The Inglot Gel Eyeliner in shade black 77 is the best out there! It is the blackest eyeliner you will ever see and once it is on the eye it doesn't budge. It is waterproof so you don't have to worry about it smudging across your eyes if you get a little teary on the day. I would suggest using an angled liner brush to apply it.

7. Waterproof mascara
I don't have one particular waterproof mascara that I use religiously but I would highly recommend using one! The last thing you want is your mascara smudging underneath your eyes so make sure you test out your mascara before the wedding day.

8. Individual lashes
Individual lashes are amazing for brides because they look natural, you can't feel them and they last all day. You can get semi permanent lashes put on before your wedding but I have had some clients not react well to the glue they use. With individual lashes you may have to get someone to help you on the day as they aren't the easiest to put on yourself. The Ardell Individual Lashes are one of my favourite to use with the Duo glue.

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills brow powder
Brows are so important as they frame your face. By using a brow powder it will give you a soft brow effect rather than anything too harsh or bold. Anastasia Beverly Hills do many different shades so you'll find the perfect tone for your eyebrow.

.10. MAC Hug Me Lipstick 
Although lipstick is a personal choice I use MAC's Hug Me Lipstick on a lot of my brides as it is the perfect nude pink shade. It looks gorgeous on all skin tones and can be used with any nude lip liner.
