Wedding marks the beginning of a new life for you. It’s quite natural that you wish to buy lots of makeup for your wedding trousseau but let’s not forget that makeup generally has a short shelf life and there’s a high probability that it will be spoilt even before you may be able to use all of it. You have lots of options as there are different brands and price ranges to choose from and one of the most important deciding factors is your budget. Moreover, the makeup products should be purchased close to your wedding month as the old products are unhealthy for your skin. Here’s a list that will help you to organize your bridal trousseau:
1. Foundation makes your skin appear flawless and provides a great base for makeup but remember to buy the one that matches your skin tone. The foundation should not only make you look fabulous in your real life but also in photographs as you will attend a lot of functions and get togethers where you will be clicked quite often. Avoid using high SPF as it has a tendency to reflect light. 2. Compact can be bought depending on the fact whether you prefer the matte look or not. In case you have oily skin, then compact will help to set your foundation. Image source: outlet-mac-cosmetics.com

Eyeshadows are best bought in the palette form and the most important thing to be considered about mascara is that it should be waterproof. Black eyeliner is adjustable with all types of makeup.
