Product Recommendations
It is recommended for the bride and bridal party to have a lip product and powder for any necessary touch-ups throughout the day/night. The products listed below are some of my go-to's in each category. In terms of lasting power for lip color, a liquid lipstick will be the longest lasting, a traditional lipstick will come in second and a lipgloss will have the shortest wear time. I like layering lip products for optimal wear.
Powder Touchups
to remove shine and blur imperfections

The first three powders listed are all available in travel sizes, great for keeping with you in your bag for when you're feeling a little shiny.
