May is just around the corner, and with it comes the impending wedding season. You're probably just beginning the hunt for breezy dresses and shoes that will endure a day's worth of pictures and an evening of dancing. But while you're putting together your outfits for back-to-back parties, you should also start thinking about your makeup look.
Beyond finding the perfect poppy lipstick and rosy blush, shopping for wedding makeup can be tricky. To withstand hours of photos, Instagram stories, and sweltering temperatures, you need makeup that is made to last. In short, you'll need an arsenal of full-coverage products.
From foundations and concealers to eyeshadows and mascaras, we've gathered a list of products that will save you this wedding season. So bring on the photo booths; with these full-coverage items, your makeup will be picture-perfect all night long.
Makeup by Mario SurrealSkin Liquid Foundation
Full-coverage foundations often get a bad rep for being too cakey. However, you won't have to worry about that with this formula. Its medium coverage formula builds up seamlessly for a fully covered look with a skin-like finish. Best of all, the long-wearing formula boasts squalene and grapeseed oil to hydrate your skin while you wear it.
IL Makiage I'm Flawless Multi-Use Perfecting Concealer
We love a multi-use product here. With IL Makiage's staple concealer, you can swiftly cover dark spots, blemishes, and those pesky under-eye circles. Versatility aside, the airy consistency is light on the skin, making it comfortable to wear for hours.
E.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush
As the latest edition to e.l.f's Camo line, this liquid blush doesn't disappoint. Like the other products in the lineup, it's easy to apply and stays put. The color payoff is also top-tier, and despite the intense pigment, the formula blends like a dream. A brush will give you a soft and diffused look. But if you want to amp it up, try using a powder on top for a vivid flush.
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick
There's a reason this drugstore lippie has remained a favorite years after its launch. Put simply, the pigmented formula stays put and lasts for hours without fading. The spectrum of shades is also impressive. Whether you're in the market for a fleshy nude or a classic red, you can be sure that your lipstick will remain from cocktail hour until the after-party.
One/Size by Patrick Starrr On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
This setting spray is the one makeup staple that will save your look this wedding season. During her iconic "Renaissance" tour, Beyoncé relied on this setting spray to keep her makeup fresh and camera-ready every night. Enough said.
