Today, I’ll walk you through all the essential products you need to look absolutely stunning on your wedding day. Whether you’re a makeup newbie or just want to make sure you’ve got it all covered, this guide is for YOU. Let’s dive right in!”

Step 1: Prepping Your Skin – The Secret to Flawless Makeup

[Stage 1: Close-up of a clean, fresh face. A Makeup Artist gently applies moisturizer.]

“First things first—makeup looks best on well-prepped skin. Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser, exfoliate once or twice a week, and always moisturize your skin. This step ensures your makeup glides on smoothly and doesn’t look patchy or cakey.”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Don’t forget sunscreen! Even for indoor weddings, SPF is your best friend.”

Step 2: Primer – The Glue That Holds It All Together

[Stage 2: hold a primer and applying it on your T-zone.]

“Next, we’re using a primer. Think of this as the glue that holds your makeup together. It smooths your skin, fills in pores, and makes your makeup last all day. For oily skin, go with a mattifying primer like Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser. If you want a velvety finish, Smashbox Photo Finish Primer is amazing!”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Apply only where needed—like your T-zone or areas with visible pores!”

Step 3: Foundation – Your Skin, But Better

[Stage 3: Swatches foundation on your jawline to match your skin tone.]

“Now, let’s talk foundation! This is your base, so it’s important to choose the right shade and formula. Always match your foundation to your jawline, not your hand. For long-lasting, full coverage, I love Estée Lauder Double Wear. If you want something lightweight and budget-friendly, go for Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless.”

[Scene: Use a damp Beautyblender to apply foundation.]
“And don’t forget—blend, blend, blend! Use a damp sponge for a natural, flawless finish.”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Start with a small amount and build up coverage as needed.”

Step 4: Concealer – Brighten and Hide Imperfections

[Stage 4: Apply concealer under your eyes and on blemishes.]

“Concealer time! Use a concealer one shade lighter than your skin to brighten your under-eyes and hide those late-night planning sessions. For blemishes, use a shade that matches your foundation. My top picks? Tarte Shape Tape for high coverage and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind for a budget-friendly option.”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Blend with your fingers or a small sponge for the most natural look.”

Step 5: Set It With Powder – Lock It In Place

[Stage 5: lightly dusts powder on your face with a fluffy brush.]

“Setting powder is a bride’s best friend, especially for those long hours under the spotlight! Use a translucent powder like Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder to keep your makeup crease-free. If you’re on a budget, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder works beautifully too.”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Focus on your T-zone and under-eyes for a matte finish.”

Step 6: Blush, Contour, and Highlighter – Add That Bridal Glow

[Stage 6: Apply blush to your cheeks, contour to your jawline, and highlighter to your cheekbones.]

“Now let’s add some dimension! A pop of blush will bring life to your face. Try NARS Orgasm for a gorgeous peachy glow or Milani Baked Blush for a budget pick.”

“For contour, use Fenty Beauty Match Stix or Nyx Wonder Stick. Apply it under your cheekbones, along your jawline, and on the sides of your nose for a sculpted look.”

“And finally, the highlighter—because a bride’s glow should be seen from a mile away! I recommend Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector or Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighter for an affordable option. Apply it to the high points of your face, like your cheekbones and brow bones.”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Less is more! Build up the product gradually for a natural look.”

Step 7: Eye Makeup – The Star of Your Bridal Look

[Stage 7: Use an eyeshadow palette, eyeliner, and mascara.]

“Your eyes are the star of the show! Start with an eyeshadow palette like Huda Beauty Nude Palette for soft glam, or Morphe 35O Palette if you want more versatile shades.”

“Line your eyes with Kat Von D Tattoo Liner for sharp precision or Maybelline Gel Liner for a bolder look. And don’t forget mascara! Too Faced Better Than Sex adds dramatic volume, while L’Oréal Lash Paradise is a great drugstore pick.”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Practice using false lashes before the big day. Ardell Demi Wispies are lightweight and beginner-friendly!”

Step 8: Lips – Complete the Look

[Stage 8: Apply a bold red lipstick.]

“Now for the final touch—your lips! For bold brides, nothing beats MAC Ruby Woo. For a softer nude look, try Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk or Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick for all-day wear.”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Exfoliate your lips and apply a balm before lipstick for a smooth, hydrated look.”

Step 9: Set It All with a Setting Spray

[Stage 9: Sprays setting spray from a distance.]

“To lock in your makeup, finish with a setting spray like Urban Decay All Nighter. It’ll keep your look fresh and flawless all day long. For a budget-friendly option, Nyx Matte Finish Setting Spray does the job!”

Quick Tip On-Screen:
“Spray from 8–10 inches away for even coverage.”
