Down The Aisle Wedding Day Beauty Products That You Can Use Everyday


Hello lovely brides-to-be and readers!

 I may be in the minority, but I tend to have the philosophy in my makeup routine that if I'm going to take the time to put makeup on, I'm going to put makeup on. It's either bare faced or all done up.

Because of this proclivity to wear a full face most days, I was once asked if there were any products that I would recommend for use daily as well as part of one's wedding day beauty routine.

After thinking and mulling that question over, I have a list of products I would definitely recommend!

 Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm ($34 www.urbandecay.com)

Over the past year, tons of cosmetics companies have come out with their version of a BB cream. What sets this particular product aside from the rest is it's formulation, texture and benefits. While it sports a peachy hue, it literally melts into the skin and visually looks like your were airbrushed. It minimizes the appearance of pores and wrinkles and hydrates the skin beautifully. With continued use it promises firmer, smoother skin and will banish redness, freckles and wrinkles in as little as 8 weeks. I love how it makes my skin look softer and smoother and feels fresh and moisturized. I use this daily under my foundation and powder.

Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer ($29 www.smashbox.com)

I suffer from dry under eyes and while I love a highly pigmented concealer, I find that they settle in the fine lines and just look blech. That is until I discovered this little wonder. It primes the under eye so that any lines are instantly filled in and at the same time it hydrates so that any concealer glides on smoothly and stays fresh looking all day.  It also decreases puffiness, wrinkles and darkness with continued use. A MUST on your wedding day!

Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to Die For The Liner ($28 www.sephora.com)

What sets this eyeliner apart from other liquid eyeliners is that it is infused with SymPeptide which enhances the appearance of natural lash length and thickness.  With continued use, it acts much like PTR Lashes to Die For Platinum which will actually grow longer and thicker lashes. I love this because I really have seen an increase in the bulk and length of my lashes AND this lasts all day so I don't have to worry about it moving around the eye area. A little swipe of this on the upper lash liner and your eyes look bigger and brighter, something we women want everyday and especially on our wedding day.
