Makeup Meltdown Solved

It’s no secret that wedding days are emotional for everyone involved. The bride cries, the bridesmaids cry, the guests cry, the groom cries (hopefully) and it will inevitably lead to makeup meltdown. Hopefully not for the groom.

So how do we avoid this messy afair? Other than controlling your emotions, which is sometimes just not possible, we have rounded up a few products that will mean that you can enjoy your day, and shed a little tear, safe in the knowledge that your face will still be flawless.

This little bottle is your number one survival to a long and possibly teary day. With speeches and songs, it’s a sure thing that you’ll get a little bit excitable. So give your face a spritz with this wonder spray to keep everything in one place and prevent anything moving around.

Bourjois 1 Seconde Mascara

This mascara stays put for hours. It offers incredible length and volume and it holds lift like nothing else. It trumps a few of the other more expensive luxury brands when you put it to the tear test. It almost never runs, but for added security, go for the waterproof version.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation

This is the ultimate long-wear makeup. Once this product is put in place and set, it is going absolutely nowhere. No amount of crying or dancing will budge this beauty favourite. So you can let your hair down without a care in the world.
