Spring is well on its way and as we know, can be devastatingly short in this region. So, before we miss it, it’s time to ‘spring clean’ and refresh your bridal beauty kit for a new season of weddings! Our Bridal Beauty Expert, Laure Sejean, has picked her favourite beauty products to banish the shine but stay luminous whilst keeping your bridal makeup flawless from day to night!

The beauty industry is constantly evolving and helping makeup artist to achieve the most flawless face for our brides-to-be. If you’ve been following me, you’ve seen that new skincare products are launching left-right-and-centre providing more options and diversity to get your skin looking its best. A lot of the new makeup launches are to specifically target popularly problematic areas of the face, with products to save the day on your big day, so that your bridal makeup will look even more gorgeous and stand out from the crowd.

Let Your Hair Shine

I don’t typically talk about hair as you may have noticed in my past articles for Bride Club, however, just like your face, your hair can benefit from a thorough regime to prep for your stylist making their job and your chosen look easier to achieve. has launched a new range to detox your hair before your wedding and it’s pretty exciting. Their topical scalp supplement serum soothes, rebalances and nourishes the scalp treating causes of dandruff and follicle blockage that contributes to greasiness. The texture of the serum is thicker than usual, so you might need 2-3 pumps to cover the whole of the scalp. The products have a gorgeous fragrance too. From this serum, you can expect stronger, vibrant and more youthful-looking hair after around 3 weeks of treatments.

The Surprise Guest

While preparing for your wedding, you may have some surprise guests showing up unannounced and unwanted as late as the day before or even on the big day itself. And by ‘guest’, I mean blemishes because let’s face it, none of us expect them to stick around for too long. Thankfully, the pimple police, Peace Out Skincare has landed at Sephora Middle East and will help get rid of them without making much of a drama about them. Their acne healing dots are barely-there adhesive stickers full of magical ingredients such as a hydrocolloid polymer technology that extracts impurities, salicylic acid to clear your pores, Vit A to get brighter and clearer looking skin and Aloe Vera to soothe and minimize the appearance of redness. Apply for 6 hours and your blemishes may be gone! If not, seriously reduced #testedandapproved by Moi!

Brows that Flatter

Brows have been a hot topic in the beauty world for a while now, so much so that brides need to be putting these potential show-stoppers on their beaut radars. By lifting your eyebrows, you will open up your eye area and allow more space for your makeup artist to create your dream bridal eye look. I’ve selected my top preferred brow products that won’t disappoint.

1. Freeze your brows the whole night through with the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Clear Pomade. For me, this product is a game-changer – as a makeup artist who’s been struggling for years to get my brides’ brows fixed for hours, Anastasia’s newest brow product does not disappoint. One swipe and your brows will be living their best forever

2. To define your brows with extreme precision, either fill the gaps only and draw in the missing hairs or completely create your eyebrows. For achieving both feats, I tested Huda Beauty’s Bombrows pencil and it is possibly the thinnest pencil ever created. I couldn’t believe how thin it was. The perfect products to elevate your bridal brows.

Get the Glow Without the Shine

Treat yourself for your big day by purchasing the Dior Backstage newly launched Face and Body ‘Powder-No-Powder’. It’s a compact powder but works like a loose powder and is super fine to set your makeup without getting cakey or looking dry. It’s been formulated to mattify and leave your skin luminous. To tell you the truth, I’m in love with the full collection for Dior Backstage and I feel it is the perfect range for a full bridal makeup look; face, neck, décolletage and all.
