Last minute tips and wedding gift guides for a stress-free wedding day, whether you are a guest or the bride.
They say that no matter the hours spent planning, the sleepless nights worrying or endless ‘to-do’ lists, you’ll still forget at least one thing on your wedding day. Not to mention all of the surprises you didn’t plan for! Instead of stressing on achieving utter perfection on your special day, just focus on being flexible-- because in the end, it’s all about enjoying every moment!
We’ve assembled a list of 8 helpful hints for prepping, and most importantly surviving, the big, BIG day!
- Your makeup artist clocked out, and you need a blush touch up.
No one wants to look washed out in their wedding photos that are going to be all over the internet. Grab a Pomegranate Oil Lipstick or Lip Caramel; both are skin nourishing and super blendable. Just dab a bit on the apple of your cheeks before blending with your fingers.
- The temperature is a little higher than the weather channel predicted.
If you’re a bride who plans to stay in her dress all night, be prepared to get a little toasty-- especially if you’re having a summer wedding! Eye makeup tends to misbehave when we sweat, so keep your pretty peepers tidy with a dab of eye-revitalizing Coffee Bean Eye Cream on the end of a q-tip, to swipe away any unsightly smudges and to give your eyes a little depuffing.
- Your face is looking more than just glowing and dewy.
If you’ve been busy dancing, hugging dozens of guests, stressing over the table arrangements, or simply wearing your makeup since 7am, chances are your face has developed a less than desirable sheen. Avoid photographic evidence of excess oil by arming bridesmaids with our pocket-sized Anti Bacterial Wood Pulp Oil Blotting Paper, to blot you when things get too shiny. Your groom could use this handy tip, too!
- That tearing noise was exactly what you knew it would be.
That tearing noise was exactly what you knew it would be. An hour before you walk down the aisle, you notice a snag in your dress, and you hear the tux has one too-- wyd?! Brush our Glass Top Coat Polish nail polish onto the fabric to tame errant fibers, without showing up on any color dress or tux. Just give it a few minutes to dry!
- Your foundation could use a touch-up (and now you definitely wish you hired the MUA for an additional hour.)
If your foundation or powder needs a touch-up and you don’t have time to reapply, grab our F10 Cruelty Free Stippling Brush to quickly buff and brush away creases and smudges, or redistribute pigment to where it belongs.
- Your skin is looking drier than the wedding ceremony programs.
To combat dry, or just plain panicked skin as you and your groom await the moment at the altar, utilize one of our Mint White Tea Tonique. You can control oil, nourish dry skin under layers of makeup, or cool down in a moment of intense nerves with a single spritz.
- The night before the wedding was a blur of to-do’s and last minute errands.
If you or your fiancé were up late the night before the wedding, start your day off with Aqua Boost Hydrating Mask to plump, hydrate, and revitalize tired skin. Bring a few extra Green Tea Water Bomb Masks for your wedding party, or anyone else who was up late making your centerpieces!
- The forecast is for sun, sun and more sun.
If you’re having an outdoor ceremony or reception, make sure to layer Sweet Mint SPF 15 Lip Balm under your lip color. That way you’ll avoid sun-scorched lips, and can ensure super soft lips for smooching your Mr. or Mrs.!
