One of my first published clips was, interestingly enough, a story on Hampton weddings for a local Hamptons newspaper. I was an 18 year old Freshman at Cornell when I wrote the story and needless to say, never married. Fast forward a few years and I’m still not that much closer to knowing much about weddings other than, makeup-wise, nothing is more important than waterproof mascara! With that I love that celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal is helping make wedding day makeup for DIY ladies a little easier with her Beauty Mega Bridal Kit ($175). The kit includes:
– Perfect Prep Poreless Primer (in Glow): Minimizes pores, fine lines and wrinkles.
– Shimmer, Shape and Glow Face Defining System: To enhance natural bone structure.
– Brow Beauty Brow Fix: A compact for brows.
– City Chick Smokey Eye Kit (in Brownstone): A cream-to-powder formula to create a smokey eye.
– Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Eyeliner: Waterproof, smudge-proof, fade-proof line.
– Waterproof Volumizing Mascara: Steadfast lashes.
– High Shine Liquid Lipstick Pen: Lip primer, lip pencil, full coverage liquid lip color, high shine lip gloss and lip brush all in one.
– Evercolor Poreless Face Defender: Clear powder.
I’ve never used anything from Mally’s range, but I thought bundling these products together was a great idea for brides who are stressing out about doing their own makeup or looking for something to keep handy for touch-ups.
What do you consider to be wedding day beauty must-haves?
