Hello, beautiful Bride-to-be! Your wedding day is one of the most special (and photographed!) days of your life, so ensuring your makeup and hair stay flawless is a must. A well-prepared touch-up kit will help you stay picture-perfect from the ceremony to the last dance. Here’s your ultimate checklist of wedding day beauty essentials to keep in your bridal clutch or have your maid of honor carry for you.
Bonus! Every bride who books with us receives a complimentary touch-up kit to carry on their big day, ensuring they stay flawless from ‘I do’ to the last dance.
1. Long-Lasting Lipstick & Lip Liner
Your lip color will likely need a refresh throughout the day, especially after eating and drinking. Choose a long-wearing, hydrating lipstick that won’t dry out your lips and pair it with a matching lip liner for definition.
Our favorite lipsticks are from Charlotte Tilbury shade called Pillowtalk , and the matching lip liner in shade Pillowtalk. For gloss topping, you can’t go wrong with a very comfortable and non- sticky Tower 28, our favorite shade called Pistachio.
– CHARLOTTE TILBURY | Matte Revolution Lipstick – Pillow Talk
– CHARLOTTE TILBURY | Lip Cheat Lip Liner – Pillow Talk
– TOWER 28 | Shineon Milky Lip Jelly – Pistachio
2. Blotting Papers or Oil-Control Powder
For brides with oily or combination skin, blotting papers are a lifesaver to absorb excess shine without adding layers of product. If you prefer powder, opt for a translucent setting powder to keep your makeup fresh without looking cakey.
Our pro recommendations:
– CHARLOTTE TILBURY | Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
3. Mini Setting Spray
A travel-sized setting spray helps refresh your makeup and lock everything in place. A quick mist will give your skin a dewy glow while ensuring your look lasts through all the happy tears and dancing.
Our pro recommendations:
–CHARLOTTE TILBURY | Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Mini version
–ONE/SIZE BY PATRICK STARRR | On ’til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray Mini Version
4. Concealer Stick or Compact
For unexpected blemishes or under-eye touch-ups, a lightweight concealer stick or compact is a must. Choose a formula that blends seamlessly into your makeup.
5. Cotton Swabs & Makeup Wipes
For quick smudge fixes (hello, mascara mishaps!), keep a few cotton swabs and makeup wipes on hand. These are also great for tidying up lipstick that strays outside the lip line.
– BLISS | Makeup Melt Oil-Free Makeup Remover Wipes
6. Hair Essentials: Bobby Pins, Hair Spray & Mini Comb
If you’re wearing an intricate hairstyle, bobby pins and a mini comb will help you tame stray hairs. A small bottle of strong-hold hair spray will also help keep your style flawless.
7. Perfume or Rollerball Fragrance
A small perfume bottle or rollerball will allow you to freshen up your scent throughout the day. Choose a light, long-lasting fragrance that won’t overwhelm.
8. Breath Mints or Spray
You’ll be chatting, smiling, and of course, sharing that first kiss—keep your breath fresh with mints or a quick spritz of breath spray.
9. Emergency Fix-It Items: Safety Pins & Fashion Tape
For any last-minute wardrobe malfunctions, safety pins and fashion tape can save the day, whether it’s a loose strap or a dress that needs a quick adjustment.
10. Pain Reliever & Band-Aids
Dancing in heels can take a toll—keep a couple of pain relievers on hand, along with band-aids for any blisters.
By packing these essentials in your wedding day touch-up kit, you’ll be ready for anything and can focus on enjoying your special day stress-free.
