INSTANT PERFECTION PRIMER
PAC PORE PRIMER
The # 1 choice of makeup artists has to be your go to too! This smooth as silk, finely textured formula minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines, lets makeup glide on like a dream, and holds your makeup in place all day. You can use it through D Day to mattify shine and touch up problem areas. It’s translucent, so everyone will think you’re just naturally picture perfect!
CUSHION FOUNDATION FOR TOUCH UPS
THE FACE SHOP OIL CONTROL WATER CUSHION
You’ve had a sesh with the makeup artist but all those bright lights mean you need a fool proof touch up formula that’s matte, oil-free and lightweight. This smart formula has a moist-cover effect that promotes a healthy look while covering up imperfections and pigmentation. Meanwhile the dermat approved sebum control formula reduces shine to keep makeup stay put for hours.
LONG STAY LIPSTICK
LAKME 9 TO 5 PRIMER + MATTE LIP COLOR
It’s matte and enriched with the power of a primer. Say hello to Lakmé 9to5 Primer + Matte Lipstick for the smoothest application and an intense colour payoff. There are 30 shades, so you’ll never run out of options. Thanks to the inbuilt primer, the highly pigmented lippie sets a flawless matte base and evens out your lips. Twelve hours of color that stays untouched through all that smiling, toasting and kissing.
FADE-PROOF EYESHADOW
L'OREAL PARIS COLOR RICHE GOLD LA PALETTE
All that shimmers is indeed gold! This gorgeous palette is a must-have this bridal season and if this selection of ten exclusive shimmer shades, from subtle pinks to bold, shimmery golds and purples, doesn’t make you fall in love, nothing can. Rich pigmented matte effect that lasts and lasts.
ALL DAY LINER GOALS
NYKAA 24H VINYL LUXE EYELINER
It’s the one day that all eyes will be on you. Now you can rock that delicate cat-eye or dramatic extended wing with no trouble at all, and minus fiddly touch-ups.

SAY NO TO LASH MISHAPS
NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP LUSH LASHES MASCARA XXL
You don’t want to be the one having a lash mishap on the dance floor. So, instead of a great set of falsies opt for an even greater waterproof mascara on your own lashes. Whether you're looking for full, lengthening or curled, check out this 2-fragrance-free formula designed with Keratins, Collagens, Vitamins and naturally-derived waxes to nourish lashes.
