Whether you’re hiring a professional makeup artist or doing your own bridal makeup, we’ve rounded up 5 essential bridal skincare and makeup tips. These tips also work beautifully for wedding guests — just don’t upstage the bride!
1. Create a Smooth, Glowy Base
Flawless wedding makeup starts with well-prepped skin. Avoid switching up your entire routine right before the big day, but do focus on exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth base for makeup.
The night before, use our Bee Venom Cleansing Balm , packed with salicylic acid to unclog pores, vitamin C to brighten, and bee venom to plump fine lines.
On the morning of, double-cleanse with our Vit C Brightening Cleanser and Vit C Brightening Cleansing Pads for an instant glow.
MUA Tip: “The Brightening Cleansing Pads perk up tired skin and give a beautiful glow — perfect if you’ve had a few late nights!
2. Hydrate & Nourish with a Sheet Mask
For radiant, hydrated skin, use a sheet mask before your makeup application.
Pink Diamond Lifting Mask: Tightens and brightens with peptides and diamond powder.
Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Jelly Mask: Deeply hydrates.
Snake Bubble Mask: Smooths and lifts for a sculpted look.
3. Don’t Forget Your Eyes
Your under-eyes need just as much care as the rest of your skin. Hydrate, brighten, and depuff with targeted eye patches:
Dragon’s Blood Jelly Eye Patches: Hydrate and smooth.
Bee Venom Jelly Eye Patches: Firm and brighten.
Snake Jelly Eye Patches: Reduce puffiness and tighten.
MUA Tip: “Rodial Eye Patches are my secret weapon. They instantly hydrate and brighten tired eyes — my clients always take extras home!”
4. Be Smart About SPF
SPF is crucial, but skip SPF-heavy foundations as they can cause flashback in photos. Instead, opt for a lightweight SPF moisturiser like:
Vit C SPF30 Moisturiser for brightening protection.
Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Moisturiser SPF15 for intense hydration.
5. Build a Long-Lasting Bridal Look
Your makeup base depends on your skin type and wedding season:
— Summer weddings? Light, dewy coverage.
— Winter weddings? Fuller, longer-lasting finish.
Start with our Glass Primer to smooth and illuminate. Follow with a buildable foundation like our Glass Skin Tint, blending in light layers for a flawless, skin-like finish.
Set your makeup with Glass Powder for a natural look or use during the day to combat shine.
Brighten dark circles with Banana & Peach Lowlighters — MUA-approved for their skin-like finish.
