Makeup Pro: A Complete Guide to Makeup Products For Your Wedding
We all know the importance of a good makeup artist, especially on one of the biggest days of your life- ZE WEDDING. But if you ask me, the thing that differentiates us (the average makeup doers) from them is the right kind of knowledge about the makeup products. You know, in terms of quality, longevity, and application, among others. Of course, practice makes perfect and I’m in no way doubting their professional skills as an artist. But rather, encouraging brides to do a pretty decent job at it.
Makeup Products You Need For Your Wedding
You can’t hire a makeup artist for every occasion and let’s say you hired one for the wedding, he/she’s not going to stay with you all night long so in case of any breakouts, you need to be a pro at handling the situation.
Which is why, the 3 parts of this makeup pro series is going to give you all the information you need and you can, like the series, become a pro at it. So for starters, you need to know what makeup products you should absolutely own. Keep reading to know more…
Face
1) Primer
You need to start off with a primer, which is necessary to even out and smooth the surface of your skin, in turn, creating a proper base to work on. Bonus point: it helps in making the makeup on your face stay longer.
Our favourites:
Benefit the POREfessional face primer- (INR 1,296, available on Amazon)
Rimmel fix and perfect pro (INR 862 on Amazon)

2) Foundation
The problem with foundation is, it’s a little difficult to find the right shade. Especially due to the store lightings that are deliberately made different to increase sales. One quick tip is to choose shades that are closest to your skin tone and then test them by applying swatches on your jawline.
We pick:
Estee Lauder: Double Wear Foundation (3,300 INR)
Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation (1,996 INR, on Amazon)

2) Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick (it DOES last all day)
3) L’Oreal Paris Color Riche (INR 950)

If you wish to make your lips appear fuller, apply Sephora lip plumper before applying your preferred liner and lipstick.
When choosing your makeup products, you need to make sure that the words ‘long lasting’ are written on it because that’s what we’re looking for the most in achieving the perfect makeup look. This list recommends some makeup products that I, personally, have seen some artists use on the brides or someone attending an important event.
Another thing to remember is that you DON’T need super expensive makeup products for every part. For foundation, concealers and primer, it can be pretty important but the rest can be done with a medium-low price range. For best results, test the products out in terms of longevity at least two weeks before the big day.
