When I became a beauty editor a couple of years ago, I had no idea how lucky I was to gain access to the best beauty products just as all of my friends started to get engaged and married. I’m currently averaging about eight to nine weddings a year, so I’ve learned how to create a wedding guest beauty routine ready for any season or climate.
Thanks to Amazon’s October Prime Day, a.k.a. Prime Big Deal Days, most of my toiletry bag must-haves are marked down—think: anti-frizz hairsprays, self-tanning lotions, and protective top coat nail polishes, to name a few. So whether you’re a bride-to-be, mother of the bride, bridesmaid, groomsman, or wedding guest, you’ll want to stock up on these beauty must-haves for all of your nuptial-related celebrations while they’re on sale. But hurry; these limited time sales end tonight, so fill up your cart ASAP.

My boyfriend and I traveled to Colorado for a wedding that was literally on top of a mountain. As an East Coaster, I didn’t realize that being 10,000 feet above sea level meant that the sun was significantly stronger than what I’m used to. I always travel with the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion (which I use as my daily moisturizer), but it also came in handy when I really started to feel the rays’ exposure. Its 3-ounce size made it an easy addition to my purse, and I was able to reapply throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception—and stayed totally burn-free.
Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water

Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water feels so refreshing on my skin, so much that as long as it’s with me, I’ll remember to wash my face after a night of welcome drinks or afterparty dancing (even if I’ve over-imbibed). It removes both face and eye makeup easily and is scent-free, making it perfect for my sensitive skin.

Regardless of the season, a long-lasting anti-frizz hairspray is a non-negotiable when it comes to wedding beauty. Pictures! Speeches! Small talk! There are so many situations over the course of a wedding weekend where you want your hair to stay in place, and the L’Oréal Paris Lock It Weather Control Hairspray does just that. I’ve used it for countless weddings and I’m now completely dependent on it.
Kitsch Satin Heatless Curls Set

When I first saw heatless curl wraps on social media, I thought there was no way they actually worked—especially on extremely thin hair like mine. I stand corrected: the Kitsch Satin Heatless Curls Set is my favorite way to give my hair a natural wave without spending too much time (or damaging it with a hot tool). I recommend using it on freshly washed, fully blow-dried hair and leaving it in for at least two hours for best results.
Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten Powder Foundation

It’s easy to overpack when it comes to your makeup bag, but the Julep eyeshadow stick allowed me to stop toting around large palettes once and for all. These sticks, which are available in a whopping 56 shades, impart a metallic pigment over my eyelid in seconds. I always keep one or two in my bag so that I can achieve a natural, blended look.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Multi-Use Concealer

Amazon
I’ve tried some pretty wow-worthy concealers over the years, but few compare to Maybelline’s Instant Age Rewind Multi-Use Concealer. Its coverage is never cakey and it doesn’t crease when applied around my crow’s feet. TBH, I prefer it to a lot of luxury-brand concealers—and it’s hard to pass up when it’s just $7.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top coat

The inventor of fake nails does not get enough credit. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve relied on press-on nails while getting ready for a wedding, and the Kiss Bare But Better TruNude Fake Nails are some of the most real-looking nails I’ve tried. The package comes with 28 nails, so if one happens to pop off during the course of the day, you can throw a few back-ups in your bag for flawless nails all night.
