When it comes to bridal beauty, only the best will do. From skincare essentials that leave your face glowing, to long-lasting lipsticks and eyeliners that can stand up to the tears and all-night dancing, it is essential to keep an all-star lineup to timeless, stunning beauty on your big day.
Every bride dreams of having that glowing, radiant look on her big day, and no one better understands this than bridal makeup artists. Their expertise isn’t just in technique–it’s knowing the products that really work. It doesn’t have to be much. We think, the best beauty look any bride could wear is to just be her authentic self. The goal is not to look like a classic bride, but to look the classic you as a bride.
If you are preparing for your wedding or just looking for an inspiration to achieve a perfect glowing bridal makeup look, look no further. We asked celebrity and bridal makeup artists Theresa Padin and Donita Ygrubay to share the holy grail bridal beauty products they can’t live without.
Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre
“I’ve been using this moisturizer as part of skin prep for almost 10 years now, and it’s never failed me. This works well on normal, dry, combination, and even sensitive skin.” -Theresa Padin
Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara
“I’ve tried many mascaras, from high end to drug store, but I always go back to this one. It’s smudge-proof, waterproof, tear-proof, thickens and lengthens the lashes. Plus, It’s not heavy on the lashes so it stays curled. Unfortunately this can only be purchased now overseas.” -Theresa Padin
Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette Universal 001
“I use this to achieve that glowing look without looking too glittery. This is a quad-color palette that matches any skin tone. The texture is buttery, so it’s easy to apply. Plus, a little goes a long way!” -Theresa Padin
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer and Primer
“One of my holy grail products is the Bobbi Brown moisturizer and primer, because of its 2-in-1 purpose. The foundation looks so flawless on skin when applied, and the skin looks healthy, too!” -Donita Ygrubay
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder
“As a bridal makeup artist, I want my bride to feel like her makeup still looks natural and breathable, without the feeling of wearing heavy makeup.” -Donita Ygrubay
On Til Dawn Setting Spray O/S
“Ever since I discovered this product, I literally use it on my clients and to myself for my makeup to last longer, especially for brides who need a long-lasting makeup.” -Donita Ygrubay
