As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
On your wedding day, the last thing you want is for your carefully selected, preplanned, and applied beauty products to melt, smudge, or run down your face while you inevitably cry tears of joy. So, how can make you make sure your look stays put through all the sniffles, dancing, and drinking? We asked a handful of makeup artists, editors, and more to share their favourite kiss-proof, easy to reapply, and won't-budge-no-matter-what products brides should keep close on the big day . Check them out, ahead.
Clarins Red 4-Colour All-in-One Lining Pen
"The Clarins Red 4-Colour All-in-One Lining Pen ($30) is everything you need in your wedding clutch. It is reminiscent of the four colour pens you used to carry in the '90s, but this time it has three eyeliner colours, and one gorgeous lip colour that doesn't need sharpening. The formulas are smooth and non-tugging, and leave a gorgeous colour payoff. I also love the idea of using the rosy lip colour as a blush colour as well. This pen is the life hack that no one saw coming, and now the quintessential bridal makeup must-have." – Clarissa Luna, makeup artist
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Fragrance-Free Skin Protectant
"To enhance a bride's natural glow, I love to mix a dab of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Protectant ($22) with their eye shadow. I apply it onto the centre of the eyelid, and it opens the eyes with the perfect amount of sheen and gives it a long-lasting effect." — Erica Whelan, makeup artist
Bobbi Brown Retouching Wand
"The Bobbi Brown Retouching Wand ($42) is a lifesaver for the emotional bride that needs a major touch-up, without having to sit back in the makeup chair. You click out product onto the tiny sponge, and apply it where you need coverage. The formula is a satin finish with medium to full coverage, and easily blended with your fingertips. It doesn't need setting. So go ahead and cry your eyes out, this magic wand has you covered." — CL
Odièle Rose Sérum
"On this important day, skin care is essential. I always tell my clients that first and foremost, we prep/prime the skin before applying any makeup. Smooth and hydrated skin is the foundation of a flawless final makeup look. I use on to two drops of our Odièle Rose Sérum ($125) with its luxurious scent of pure rose, which I gently massage to seal the skin's moisture barrier to boost radiance and elasticity, creating a healthy and glowing skin. The foundation will just set in smoothly, leaving a dewy texture finish." — Josée Leduc, makeup artist
Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Trust Issues
"I wore a super dark, vampy lip to my April wedding and it lasted from before 2 p.m. until midnight because of the combination of liquid lipsticks I used. I combined Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Trust Issues ($20) with another liquid lipstick in a lighter brick hue, and I didn't even need to reapply it throughout the day. So many people have asked me what I wore and if it was a pain in the ass — but that's my secret." — Brinton Parker, assistant editor, trending and viral features
ColourPop Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick
"Colourpop's Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick ($7) covers just as well as the usual formulas, but leaves a satin-like finish that is extremely comfortable. It will last through kisses, without leaving your lips feeling dry. With a wide range of colours, there's an Ultra Satin Lip that will suit every bride's style." — CL
