The key to achieving that flawless bridal glow lies in the right beauty essentials. Here are some must-have products that will help any summer bride look stunning and feel confident on her big day.
1/ 31 Le Rouge
The first Chanel lipstick to feature glass packaging, 31 Le Rouge is a prism of light. Its case has been faceted to resemble the mirrors that line the famous rue Cambon staircase in Paris: a tribute to the ultimate birthplace of Chanel creation, but also a reflection of the Maison’s avant-garde spirit. At €165, this is not just for your wedding day.
2/ Lip Duo
The recent nuptials of Aimee Connolly, the Irish make-up guru behind Sculpted, inspired an entire wedding collection, aptly titled Love Story. At the heart of the range is the Lip Duo, €19 — where romantic lip combinations are designed to sculpt, shape, and enhance your lips for an occasion look. Available in two new universal duos, Love Story and Perfect Match.
3/ Bio Lifting Eye Cream
Luxury botanical brand Chantecaille has extended its Bio Lifting collection with a beautiful new eye cream. Although incredibly relaxing to apply, Bio Lifting Eye Cream, €226, still packs a punch, thanks to an impressive line-up of actives. Free of microplastics, the formula is comprised of 95 percent naturally derived ingredients.
4/ Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix
In search of a stress reliever? Elemis is on hand with the Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix, €200, to visibly reduce signs of burnout on your face. The beauty brand infuses the vegan blend with drone peptide technology to help calm and soothe your pores while reducing fine lines and wrinkles, too.
5/ Angel.Masque
Designed with fine and coloured locks in mind, Kevin Murphy Angel.Masque strengthening and conditioning treatment, €37.50, instantly restores the appearance of distressed and damaged hair while adding moisture and shine.
6/ Rebound Sculpting Cream
Get your skin ready for the big day with Neostrata Rebound Sculpting Cream, €79.95. This dermal must-have is a hydrating, plush cream containing peptides to specifically target collagen-depleted skin. It promises to resurface the visible signs of photo-ageing, such as age spots and wrinkles.
