Get a flawless face that won’t melt off when your Big Day heats up BY MIRELLA CAMERAN
The heat and humidity are a torture test for makeup, but brides who make the right choices can look glowing and fresh from morning until night.
Get off to a good start with the POREfessional Face Primer from Benefit Cosmetics. Lightweight and translucent, it minimizes pores and evens out texture to create the perfect canvas.
Chanel Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Lip Color This pigment-rich lipstick and gloss combo dries fast but lasts long, and its superpower is the moisturizing formula which doesn’t feather or smudge no matter how many times you kiss the groom.
CoverGirl TruBlend Undercover Concealer This drugstore product outperforms anything in this category. Its large, fluffy applicator makes bags, dark circles and imperfections vanish like magic with its rich, smooth formula and with 30 shades you’re sure to find the perfect match.
The skin on your eyelids is thinner than the rest of your face which makes it hard for eyeshadow to stay on. Take the time to use NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base which will retain both color and coverage.
Tears, oil or sweat don’t stand a chance when it comes to NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. Instead of caking, fading or cracking, it stays looking fresh and smooth until you say stop.
Armani Beauty Eye Tint LongLasting Liquid Eyeshadow This liquid formulation dries into the lid and looks brighter with every layer you apply. Build 16 hours of color without fear of creasing.
WUNDER2 WUNDERBROW Eyebrow Gel This gel is famous for its staying power — up to three days. In addition to being transfer- and smudge-proof, the hairlike fibers in the formula create a natural effect.
