Bridal Makeup Essentials: Primers That Keep Makeup Fresh All Day

As a professional makeup artist working with brides, I know that a great primer can make all the difference between makeup that fades before the reception and a flawless face that lasts through every tear, kiss, and dance.

Today I'm sharing two primers I use consistently in my bridal work - one budget-friendly option and one luxury choice.

NYX Professional Primer: Affordable Excellence for Every Bride When working with brides, NYX's Pro Primer is my go-to recommendation for so many reasons: - Lightweight formula that never feels heavy or cakey on my clients' skin - Versatile application works beautifully with virtually any foundation type - Pleasant fragrance that my brides consistently love - Vegan-friendly formula with no harsh ingredients or "nasties" for sensitive bridal skin -Perfect for outdoor ceremonies What truly impresses me when using this on my bridal clients is how smoothly it glides onto skin without that dreaded "rolling" effect that some primers have. It creates a fantastic base that helps bridal makeup set properly and stay put throughout their entire wedding day. The price point is absolutely superb, proving to my brides that you don't always need to splurge for quality, long-lasting results!

Charlotte Tilbury Factor 50 Primer: Luxury Protection for Destination Weddings For my destination wedding, brides or outdoor ceremonies, Charlotte Tilbury's Factor 50 Primer is my SPF go-to: - Lightweight, virtually transparent formula that doesn't alter foundation colour in wedding photos - Works its magic under makeup, creating a truly flawless base that lasts through the celebration - SPF 50 protection is essential for outdoor ceremonies and honeymoon protection Yes, it sits on the higher end of the budget spectrum, but I advise my brides that a little goes an incredibly long way. Used sparingly, this investment piece will take you from your wedding day all through your honeymoon (did someone say Seychelles?).
