Must-Have Beauty Products for Your Wedding Day

You can invest in the best makeup artist and highest quality cosmetics for the morning of your wedding, but at some point in the day you’ll want to retouch… So what can you ask your mother or bridesmaid to keep in their clutch to help you keep your look fresh, radiant, and flawless? Bride Club Me has compiled the essential list…

1 – Blotting Paper

If you are prone to shiny skin (and most of us are when the UAE throws its warmest weather at us), we recommend sweeping a sheet of blotting paper across your skin whenever you head to the powder room. This thin, lightweight paper absorbs oil to leave skin shine-free.

We recommend: The Body Shop’s Blotting Tissues, 32 AED (available at The Body Shop across the UAE).

2 – Concealer

It’s amazing how much difference a quick application of light-reflecting concealer under your eyes can make to your entire face. Your eyes will appear brighter and bigger and skin will appear more radiant and even-toned. We recommend applying Clinique’s slimline Airbrush Concealer, 150 AED, in the afternoon and again in the evening. It will work well for concealing blemishes or pigmentation too (available at Areej stores across the UAE).

3 – Q Tips

Who would’ve thought that the humble Q-Tip could be so useful on your wedding day? Make sure you have a couple to hand as these simple tools will correct smudges in your eye makeup in two seconds flat – simply place the cotton wool under a running tap so it is saturated and sweep it over the unwanted mark. Perfect for when your eyeliner starts to smudge or your mascara runs when you shed a tear through your vows… You’ll find tubs of 100 Q-Tips in all supermarkets and chemists in Dubai for around the 10 AED mark.

4 – Lip Gloss

Gloss looks amazing on lips, but sadly isn’t the longest lasting beauty product out there, so it pays to keep one close throughout the day. We love Bourjois Effet 3D Max Gloss, 69 AED, which promises a glossy finish and 8 hours of coverage. The colour Beige Mellow is perfect for your wedding day; a soft pink that compliments every skin tone (available at Boots Stores across UAE).

5 – Perfume Rollerball

Did you know that Eau de Toilette only lasts between 2 and 4 hours? Make sure you stay smelling fabulous all day by reapplying regularly on your wedding day. You can’t really ask somebody to carry around a heavy glass bottle, so why not treat yourself to a small, slimline rollerball instead? L’Occitane’s stunning scent Rose  is available in a rollerball for applying to pulse points, 119 AED (available at L’Occitane Stores across UAE)
