When I became a beauty editor a few years ago, just as my friends were getting engaged and getting married, I can’t imagine how lucky I was to have access to the best beauty products. It was. Since I now average 8-9 weddings a year, I’ve learned how to create a beauty routine for my wedding guests that works for any season or climate.

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30
Amazon
My boyfriend and I traveled to Colorado for a wedding literally on top of a mountain. Being from the East Coast, I had no idea that being 10,000 feet above sea level meant the sun’s rays were much stronger than what I was used to. I always travel with CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion (which I use as my daily moisturizer) and it also came in handy when I started really feeling the effects of the rays. The 3 oz size makes it easy to add to my purse, and I was able to reapply throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception without getting completely burned.

Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water feels so refreshing on the skin that as long as you have it on hand, you’ll remember to wash your face after your welcome drink or dancing at the afterparty (even if you’ve had too much). It easily removes both face and eye makeup and is fragrance-free, making it perfect for my sensitive skin.

No matter the season, long-lasting anti-frizz hairspray is a non-negotiable when it comes to wedding beauty. photograph! speech! A little chat! There are many occasions during your wedding weekend where you’ll want to keep your hair in place. L’Oréal Paris’ Rock-It Weather Control Hairspray does just that. I’ve used it at countless weddings and now completely rely on it.

Amazon
When I first saw Heatless Curl Wrap on social media, I thought there was no way it would actually work, especially on extremely fine hair like mine. My opinion was correct. The Kitsch Satin Heatless Curl Set is my favorite way to give your hair natural waves without spending too much time (or damaging it with hot tools). For best results, we recommend using on freshly washed, fully blow-dried hair and leaving it on for at least 2 hours.

It’s easy to overload your makeup bag, but Julep’s eyeshadow sticks have helped me stop carrying around large palettes once and for all. These sticks come in a whopping 56 shades and add metallic pigment to your eyelids in seconds. I always keep one or two in my bag to create a natural blend.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Multi-use Concealer
Amazon
I’ve tried some pretty great concealers over the years, but few come close to Maybelline’s Instant Age Rewind Multi-Use Concealer. The coverage is never sticky and does not create wrinkles even when applied around the outer corners of the eyes. TBH, I like this better than many luxury brand concealers. And at just $7, it’s hard to ignore.
