Bridal Makeup Kit List For Your Face

Choosing the right makeup for your face is trickier than one can imagine. Your bridal makeup kit should comprise products that are perfect for your skin tone and your type of skin. For example, there are various shades of foundation to choose from that can complement your skin tone perfectly. To make the choice of purchasing all the best makeup products easier, we have compiled a list of WWI recommended bridal makeup kit essentials for your face below. 

1. Primer

A primer is the first and most integral part of a girl's makeup list. It prepares your skin to hold your makeup in place right after you apply your skincare products. It keeps your makeup fresh throughout the day. It also forms a base for your foundation and makeup, hiding the pores from view and reducing fine lines. The right primer will also regulate dry and oily skin. So don’t skip this primary and essential step.

5. Contour

A contoured look defines your facial features, enhancing your nose and cheekbones. It leaves you with a sculpted look for the day ahead. For newbies to the technique and style, we recommend buying a small contour palette and doing ample practice beforehand.

6. Blush

Prep those cheekbones with the perfect shades of pink or red to up your diva quotient. A girl's makeup kit needs the right flush of jovial colours to add the spark of a newlywed to your look. Nothing freshens up your look quite like a perfect blush with the right tint of bright shades. Remember the duck-face pout as you apply the blush alongside your cheekbones (suck in your cheeks to locate them). Dab a little to your temples to balance the flush in your entire face.
