Brushes tapping against a mirrored vanity. The soft click of a setting spray. A bride looking at her reflection, wondering if she will cry before the vows or after.

In this episode, I walk through a wedding day get ready with me routine, focusing on the makeup that will last through tears, champagne, dancing, and at least a hundred photographs. From primer to powder, from foundation that photographs without flashback to waterproof mascara that will not run when the officiant speaks, this is a step by step guide for brides who want to look like themselves but better.

The episode includes product recommendations for oily and dry skin, tips for avoiding white cast in sunlight, and the one mistake brides make five minutes before walking down the aisle. There is also a section on touch ups: what to pack in a clutch, when to blot, and why the lipstick should be reapplied after the cake cutting. Whether you are doing your own makeup or hiring an artist, this episode is for anyone who wants to feel beautiful on the most photographed day of their life.

Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the mirror does not lie, but makeup helps.
