The 16 Important Bridal Make-up Item List for the Bride: Makeup Essential Kit for Brides’ Marriage Ceremonies

Hello, our lovely bride-to-be! The countdown to your wedding day has begun, and excitement is in the air. Everything for the wedding is in full swing: the lengthy shopping list, trying on stunning lehengas and purchasing dazzling jewellery. While some women prefer to hire makeup professionals for their wedding day, others prefer to do their own bridal makeup.

But the more important question is, how do you choose cosmetics for your wedding makeup? Any bride will be perplexed by so many cosmetic brands and alternatives to pick from. The last thing you want is to use the incorrect cosmetics.

While putting together your bridal beauty kit, keep the following factors in mind:

1. Personal preference: It is necessary to know what you like and dislike about makeup or you should know what sort of cosmetics you want to wear. For example, if you prefer lightweight, airy makeup looks in everyday life, it’s unlikely you’ll be comfortable wearing a full face of heavy makeup on your wedding day, and vice versa.
2. Weather: The weather certainly has an impact on wedding makeup. The makeup you choose is heavily influenced by whether the wedding is indoors or outdoors, as well as the season. A rainbow wedding in the rain, a winter wonderland wedding, or a summer beach wedding. The weather and venue are essential considerations when selecting your wedding makeup arsenal.
3. Skin tone/undertones: Every woman wants to look her best on her wedding day, and knowing your skin tones and undertones is the best way to do it. It’s no secret that skin tones differ from person to person, so knowing your skin tone and undertones is essential for achieving a beautiful bridal makeup look.
4. Skin Type: Knowing your skin type and purchasing makeup correctly can provide you with an even base free of crease lines and cakey feels. If you have dry skin, for example, you want your makeup to be moisturising rather than ultra-matte, which may stick to your dry patches. The same is true for people who have oily or combination skin. To avoid creasing and sliding into your greasy regions, you need makeup that is both moisturising and matte.

Here are 16 makeup must-haves for your bridal makeup and beauty care bag.

Let’s start with the skincare portion of the journey because it’s common knowledge that a healthy, glowing base equals incredible makeup.

1. 3% Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum

   • 
   • Do you have dryness and dullness? Include a hyaluronic acid face serum in your skincare routine. Hydrated skin is the key to healthy-looking skin when getting ready for the big day. A hyaluronic acid face serum will provide your skin with much-needed hydration. Unlike other hyaluronic acid face serums, Kiro’s  3% Hyaluronic Acid Face serum is infused with Cucumber extract, Kiwi extract, Lotus flower extract, and other antioxidant-rich ingredients that soothe the skin for the best of science and nature.

2. 10% Vitamin C Serum

   • 
   • With the Vitamin C face serum, you can add radiance to your skin. A tried-and-true radiance enhancer that will help you decrease dark spots, pigmentation, and other flaws. Vitamin C is a must-have in your wedding skincare routine. If you’re seeking a great nightly face serum, look no further! Cleanse your face with a mild face cleanser to remove any makeup and dirt, then use a 10% Vitamin C face serum. Allow the serum to absorb into the skin before applying an ultra-hydrating moisturiser. We recommend using it daily for 4-8 weeks to get great benefits.

3. 5% Niacinamide + 2% Alpha Arbutin Face Serum

   • 
   • We offer a remedy for you if you are a bride who suffers from acne and acne marks. Include 5% Niacinamide + 2% Alpha Arbutin Face Serum in your regular skincare regimen. A powerful combination of Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin can assist with rosacea, acne, and acne scarring. This serum is ideal for your morning skincare regimen because it does not make your skin photosensitive, however, we strongly advise you to use sunscreen after.

4. 0.5% Encapsulated Retinol + 0.5% Hyaluronic Acid

   • 
   • If you’re looking for an excellent anti-ageing serum, we’re sure retinol is an ingredient you’ve come across pretty often. We agree with them. When used correctly, encapsulated retinol can do wonders. It promotes skin cell repair and regeneration while also stimulating collagen formation. When combined with Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful humectant, you get healthy, young skin. Retinol face serums should only be used at night as part of your skincare routine.
   • For glowing, healthy skin, these four serums are a must-have for any bride-to-be.

5. Primer

   • A primer is the base of your whole makeup application, so choose one that fills your pores and gives you a flawless finish. A primer helps to keep your makeup looking fresher for longer, so investing in a good one is essential.

6. Concealer

   • It is recommended that you get two concealers for your bridal cosmetic bag. A concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin tone should be used. This can help you cover and brighten your under-eye region, as well as highlight facial features like your cheekbones. The second concealer should be a shade darker or a perfect match for your skin tone. The use of two concealers together will provide you with a flawless natural finish on your wedding day.

7. Kajal

   • 
   • Every woman’s best buddy is a black kajal. The fastest and easiest makeup idea is smudged kajal for your Haldi makeup look. The most fundamental eye makeup product that every girl and woman should have, is a kajal pencil. It is used to highlight your facial features and create depth in your eyes.

8. Coloured Eyeliner Pencil

   • 
   • A coloured eyeliner pencil is a great way to add a pop of colour to your eyes. On your wedding day, it’s all about glamour. Using a coloured eyeliner pencil, such as the Hi-Def Soothing Eyeliner Pencil, in your wedding makeup can help to draw attention to your eyes. It’s available in Sapphire Blue for a distinctive blue eyeliner effect and Earth Brown for a naturally lifted finish.

9. Eyeshadow Stick

   • 
   • We can vouch for this one! Purchase an eyeshadow stick. The Longwear Brightening Eyeshadow Stick comes highly recommended by us. Why? You ask? It is the ultimate eyeshadow palette replacement. As a bride, you have little time on your hands. You don’t want to go into the endless process of blending and discovering random hues in palettes. Apply the shade directly with the eyeshadow stick and blend quickly with your fingers or a fluffy blending brush. This is a quick fix for brides who want to appear gorgeous in minutes.

10. Liquid Eyeliner

    • 
    • Every lady needs liquid eyeliner in her cosmetic bag, and it goes without saying that it is necessary for a wedding beauty kit. For ease of application, we recommend using a felt-tip eyeliner pen, such as the Waterproof Soft-Matte Eyeliner Pen, instead of regular liquid eyeliner. This liquid eyeliner pen is waterproof, sweatproof, and smudge-proof, making it ideal for brides.

11. Mascara

    • 
    • Mascara adds volume and lifts the lashes. Leave the falsies at home and enjoy your lashes that are longer and volumized thanks to Botanico Super Shield Mascara. With this, you can never go wrong.  A wedding sure does make people emotional and teary; we don’t want mascara streaming down your cheeks while you experience your emotions to the maximum.

12. Foundation

    • The correct foundation may truly transform your makeup. Discovering the appropriate foundation shade, that will fit your skin type, that has the proper coverage, and that has ingredients that will not harm your skin or body is like finding a magic lamp in the world of makeup. The foundation is the final key to every makeup look evolving into its finest form. Look for a foundation that complements your skin tone and type.
    • The only method to get the right match in the foundation is to sample the hues directly on your face. Apply foundation in various shades to a part of your face and neck. Allow the foundation to stay for about an hour. Check for oxidisation, creases, and transfer every 15 minutes, and then purchase the appropriate foundation for you.

13. Compact Powder

    • 
    • A weightless compact powder will help you pack on your makeup and provide quick touch-ups as needed. The Kiro’s Botanico Timeless Matte Compact Powder is ideal for the bride who prefers a lightweight, soft glam makeup look. It boasts a hydrating-matte formula that keeps your makeup in place without patchiness, dryness, or cakiness.

14. Blush

    • 
    • Being a bride necessitates an exceptional blush and bloom! You can’t go without a lovely blush. We suggest the Glow-On Blush Duo, a dual-toned compact blush featuring two hues in one. So, choose one or combine them to achieve a radiant natural blush on your cheeks.

15. Highlighter

    • 
    • Have you ever heard of Bridal Glow? This is where you’ll receive all that radiance! Everyone desires an inner glow, and the Prism Perfect Highlighter is here to provide it. You can build up your bling with one swipe for a subtle glow.

16. Lipstick

    • Your lip game, on the other hand, should be on point. It’s your big day! You need some bridal oomph! It’s natural to be confused by the sheer amount of lipstick options available. Let us assist you with the star feature, the right lipstick for your bridal beauty look.
    • Let’s start with the essentials while shopping for lipstick.

    • Long-lasting Lipstick

    • The lipstick should be long-lasting so that you can enjoy your wedding food in peace.

    • Hydrating-Matte

    • Oftentimes ignored, lipstick should be comfortable to wear. Typically, matte lipsticks become drying and uncomfortable over time. The only way out is to use hydrating matte lipsticks. This will keep your lips hydrated and prevent dryness or patchiness throughout the wedding.

    • Suits your makeup look

    • Different makeup styles necessitate a variety of lipstick colours and textures. Depending on your makeup look, you can select lipstick with a satin finish, a matte finish, or a glossy finish. 

    • Have Options

    • Having alternatives is usually a good thing. So have a few lip colour choices on hand to mix and match for your makeup look and mood.
