STEP 1: HYDRATING SERUM

The Hada Labo Gokujyun Premium Liquid Lotion is a must-have for brides looking to achieve radiant and flawless skin before their wedding. It's truly my "secret sauce" to create a smooth and even canvas, allowing makeup to adhere better and last longer. 

The 7 types of hyaluronic acid in this liquid lotion work together to provide deep and intense hydration to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to retain moisture, and this product takes it to the next level. Brides often experience stress and fatigue leading up to their big day, and this product helps combat any dryness and dehydration, leaving the skin plump and radiant.

GLAM-FRIENDLY SUNSCREEN

EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, SPF 40 isn't just another sunscreen—it's a pre-glam game-changer. My good friend working in a dermatology clinic recommended this to me, and as a makeup artist, I have to say it's a game-changer. This sunscreen-moisturizer hybrid not only provides essential sun protection but also offers hydration, and it's even designed to help reduce wrinkles. It's become my go-to because it never pills on me, and it sets seamlessly under makeup, something many other products just can't deliver. EltaMD has created a true gem that combines sun protection, skin nourishment, and age-defying benefits, making it a must for everyone, especially those of us in the makeup industry. Your skin and makeup routine will love it...ps..tinted is my favorite for days I go without glam!

2. One size, On Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray: https://amzn.to/4ck5nnh

Essentially, a setting spray binds and melts the layers of makeup to marry the products together. While a fixing spray, because of its ingredients, is used to help the longevity of your makeup.
