1. Dr. Dennis Gross Universal Daily Peel - exfoliating peel pads
Let’s start out with a skin prep must have since it’s essential for a truly flawless makeup application. Straight from their website: “Step 1 is packed with 7 AHA/BHAs to gently but effectively exfoliate for immediate radiance, refined pores, diminish lines & wrinkles, and clear blemishes while step 2 neutralizes acid activity, hydrates, and delivers anti-aging actives for dramatically smoother, more radiant, healthier-looking skin.” They have 3 different strengths (ultra gentle, universal, and extra strength); and depending on what your skin can handle you can use these bad boys daily or weekly. Whatever you prefer! I highly recommend for all my brides and clients.
Why You’ll Love It: This two part product gently exfoliates your skin; sloughing off the dead skin cells and leaving your skin feeling soft and looking glowy for the big day.

2. SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture - moisturizer
First we exfoliate, then we moisturize. If you don’t already have a skincare routine and you’re only going to add two steps, make it these. Hydrating your skin is essential to a good makeup application. Period. We can only work with what we’re given and makeup won’t lay nicely on dehydrated, flaky skin.
Why You’ll Love It: SkinCeuticals is real deal skincare. It’s a little pricey, but worth the pricetag because of the potency levels of high-quality ingredients they use.

3. Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask - lip moisturizer
Are we sensing a theme here? Hydration, girlies. Sometimes our lips get away from us due to the wind or weather. I know mine can get chapped in the winter and summer. They don’t discriminate. Pair this with a gentle lip scrub and you’ll be good to go.
Why You’ll Love It: You can (and should) use this both day and night for around the clock moisturizing.

4. ONE/SIZE On 'til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray - Setting Spray
Lock in your makeup for your bridal season events with ONE/SIZE setting spray. With an aerosol spray application this product is a favorite of professionals and enthusiasts alike. It sets even full glam makeup for hours and hours. This spray keeps the glam locked in with a blurred matte finish.
Why You’ll Love It: It’s lightweight and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, making it a must-have for any bridal beauty kit.

5. GrandeLASH-MD lash enhancing serum - lash growth serum
Not all of us are *blessed* with long beautiful lashes. For those of us who need a little help I love using GrandeLASH. Using their serum helps give you longer, thicker, healthier looking lashes in 4-6 weeks. Tried and true; I can back this 100%. Check out my upcoming Deb Will Do It series showing my own before and after from using this serum. Pair this with a lash lift by your local lash tech and you’re so set for all your bridal season events without needing to pop on a set of lashes.
Why You’ll Love It: You get to wake up with long beautiful lashes every day; paired with a lash lift you won’t need any makeup for your tropical beach honeymoon getaway.

6. Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium Hold - hairspray
Your hairstyle should last as long as your vows. Moroccanoil hair spray provides a medium hold without making your hair feel stiff or crunchy. Whether you’re opting for soft waves or an elegant updo, this spray will make everything smooth and hydrated while keeping everything in place.
Why You’ll Love It: It’s hydrating formula helps combat frizziness, and with the amount of times I hear “that smells so good” you won’t mind it being your second perfume for all your events.

7. Charlotte Tilbury Mini Pillow Talk - lipstick & liner Set
The ultimate bridal lip color: the perfect neutral nude pink for all your bridal events. A lot of my brides like a lip color that almost matches their natural lip color, but is still enhancing for the special occasion ahead. This is that. Available in the original shade, medium, and intense.
Why You’ll Love It: This mini set will easily fit in your bridal touch up kit.

Why You’ll Love It: It’s non-greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and radiant.

9. Patchology Say I Dew - sheet mask set
I am once again asking you to hydrate — and this cutie little sheet mask set has you covered. Included is: one Rosé Face Mask, two Pairs of Rosé Eye Gels, and one Renewing Rosé Fingers Mask. Your hands will suddenly be on display at all your bridal events, so don’t forget about them. You can stack the eye gels with the sheet mask giving you optimal hydration and efficiency.

10. Kosas Mini Cloud Set Baked Setting & Smoothing Talc-Free Vegan Powder - setting powder
Stay shine-free with Kosas baked setting powder. Even with the best setting sprays and all the setting powder during your initial makeup application we can still get a little shiny through the t-zone. The humidity, running around for photos, and emotions running high can make your body work overtime. And some of us are just oily girlies whose inner glow likes to come through. It’s fun. If you didn’t book your makeup artist for concierge service or touch up services this mini powder can help with a quick blot during your long wedding day. You might pair this with a quick dab of a blotting sheet (before applying the powder). Starting out with blotting sheets will absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup, keeping you looking fresh throughout the day. And then use the powder as needed along with it. Just be sure to get the right shade (or a translucent powder is always a good choice and what I use on set), and don’t overdo it. We want to *lightly* blot the oil without distrupting your professional makeup application.
Why You’ll Love It: This mini option and blotting sheets are both compact and easy to carry, so you can touch up anytime, anywhere.
