Get ready to shine on your big day! Your wedding is likely one of the most photographed moments in your life, so don't forget about your makeup amidst all the planning. We've gathered some helpful tips to ensure you look stunning on your special day.

1. CONSIDER THE SEASON YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED IN

A bride must absolutely tailor her choice of foundation to the season she's getting married in! For winter weddings, you'll want a foundation that doesn't look too dry or matte, while in summer you'll need one that doesn't get too shiny too quickly. If your party lasts until the early hours, opt for a long-lasting foundation.

Summer brides would do well to prep their skin with a primer that's anti-shine and water-resistant, like jane iredale's Smooth Affair Mattifying Face Primer. If you're tying the knot in fall or winter, a full-coverage foundation, such as Laura Mercier's Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation, is an excellent choice. Have you seen these foundations yet?

2. STAY PICTURE PERFECT WITH POWDER

To keep your bridal makeup fresh day and night, a powder formula is essential. Our ultimate recommendation to keep your look intact: apply Laura Mercier's Translucent Loose Setting Powder to mattify your foundation and fix color. This powder is so subtle that it's almost invisible on your skin. PS. This beauty classic also comes in an ultra-blur (mini) formula or pressed powder!

3. CHOOSE A LIP PRODUCT THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IN

Your lipstick will slowly fade over time. That's why it's wise to opt for a long-lasting formula (because: it doesn't smudge), like Bobbi Brown's Luxe Matte Lipstick. We love the color 'Sunset Rose', a beautiful natural shade that's not too brown or too pink. If you want to emphasize your lips a bit more, try one of NARS' Afterglow Sensual Shine Lipsticks. These lipsticks, glosses, lip liners, and balms are worth trying too!

4. STAY HYDRATED FOR THE BIG DAY

This beauty tip can be applied all year round, but as your wedding day approaches, it becomes extra important: drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin ensures better makeup application. Make your skin extra radiant by spraying jane iredale's Pommist Hydration Spray in a circular motion over your entire face, neck, and décolleté. This hydrating formula with pomegranate extract not only sets your makeup but also combats damage from free radicals!

5. USE WATERPROOF PRODUCTS

Do we really need to say more? Emotions run high during a wedding, especially for the bride. That's why it's wise to wear waterproof makeup to prevent smudging. Do you quickly shed tears of joy? Then Sweed's false eyelashes are your lifesaver. They elevate your lash game to a higher level and look natural! Fun fact: Sweed is completely animal-friendly and strictly vegan!

6. BOOK YOUR MAKEUP ADVICE AT PARFUMA

You've already chosen your dream dress, tasted the perfect cake, and ordered the rings. But trying out your bridal makeup well in advance is also a great idea, isn't it? For example, you'll immediately notice how your skin reacts to the products used by your makeup artist. Not sure which colors suit you best? A trial makeup session will also help you with that!

7. SELF-TAN FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

A beautiful, golden tan on your wedding day is certainly not a must, but it gives many brides an extra boost of confidence. Check out the options for professional spray-tan or try self-tanning at home. These are our favorite self-tanners that you can easily use throughout the year!

8. KEEP A RESCUE KIT HANDY

On the big day itself, it's handy to have a rescue kit on hand: a compact toiletry bag filled with small essentials that may come in handy in unforeseen circumstances. Cotton swabs, hairpins, and refreshing wipes are indispensable. And don't forget to bring your favorite makeup products and brushes for any touch-ups!
