You want to shine on your wedding day -- but you probably don't want your face to. Rather than powdering routinely throughout the night, dab away grease with blotting papers. They'll keep shine at bay, and you won't run the risk of looking overly powdered or cake-y. Plus, they come in a slender package that won't take up too much precious real estate in your sleek clutch.
Chances are you'll be getting your hair styled several hours before your reception. And between walking down the aisle and cutting a rug during your first dance, your no-hair-out-of-place aspirations might be totally out of reach. In other words: Bobby pins are your new BFF. They'll let you secure strands that come loose. Wearing your hair down? Keep hair ties handy in case you decide to pull your hair back once the party gets started.
On your wedding day you'll want to smell as much like a dream as you look. In addition to making sure you're wearing long-lasting deodorant, stash a small tube of your favorite perfume in your purse so you can reapply it as needed.
Because happy tears are pretty much inevitable on your wedding day, you may need to touch up smeared under-eye concealer or -- if you didn't go the waterproof mascara route -- cover up smudges.
Between dance floor induced sweating and shedding tears of joy, makeup touchups are pretty much inevitable. You'll want to have tissues on hand for obvious reasons, but Q-Tips will come in handy as well. Use them to remove stray eyeliner, clean up lipstick or wipe away eye shadow fall out.
