Here’s The Beauty Emergency Kit For Your Best Girl’s Big Day
Blotting Paper: To Keep Oiliness At Bay
These thin little sheets help to mattify shiny, greasy skin in a pinch. And did we mention they’re oddly fun to use? Whenever you are feeling a little oily, just pat or press the blotter on your face, and when you remove the paper, you’ll see all the grease that was on your skin.
‘Coz A Little Lipstick Never Hurts
Regardless of how difficult it may be to find the time on her wedding day, a bride’s gonna stay hydrated and eat through the event. And considering her every move will be photographed, her lipstick needs to be perfect at any given point too. Make sure you have the right shade around for a quick touch up.
Eyelash Glue To Keep Your Falsies In Place
We have to recognize that while falsies are the star of the show, it’s the eyelash glue that keeps it all together. It is normal for extensions to start detaching from the ends. That’s why you need to have eyelash glue in your beauty emergency kit.
Q-Tips: To Deal With Makeup Mishaps
Misplaced concealer? Runny eyeliner due to an emotional moment? There’s no beauty mishap – that a Q-tip can’t save. Try the pre-soaked cotton swap remover to keep these makeup mishaps at bay.
Pocket Mirror: To Top Up our Makeup
Whether you need to top up your makeup or just give your lipstick a refresh, a pocket mirror is crucial. Plus, the best person to do it for the bride is probably the bride herself. Just take her away from the spotlight and let her do the needful with a pocket mirror in hand.
Powder Compact: To Give Your Makeup A Red-Carpet Finish
Wedding makeup usually consists of multiple layers to ensure that it lasts through the night. Keep a powder compact handy in case it starts to crease anyway. Try the Myglamm for a light-handed refresh.
Bobby Pins: For Immaculate Hair – Always!
Bobby pins are essential. Why? Because stray hair that’s unintentional can easily ruin the bride’s wedding photograph. Plus, in case her hairstyle starts to open up or a certain part of her hair needs to be hidden, these pins will be your (and her) saviour.
Makeup Mist: To Keep Her Look From Cracking, Smudging, And Melting
Spritzing a makeup refreshing mist is one of the most effortless ways to give the bride’s, as well as your beauty, look a lift. Try this makeup mist – the electrolytes and caffeine in it act as a wake-up call.
Facial Wipes: To Bid Adieu To Messy Makeup
Always keep a small pack of face wipes handy – they’re a cleaning hack for everything from food spill on an outfit to messy makeup.
Mini Perfume: To Smell Like A Dream
Hours of smiling, heavy outfits, going through a long ceremony and greeting multiple people can all leave a bride feeling far from fresh. All it’ll take for the bride to feel energized again is a few spritzes of her favourite scent.
