On your wedding day, it’s only natural that you want to look and feel your best. However, this best version of you doesn’t have to look like an over-done canvas of someone else. But that’s really the makeup artist’s job, right? Nope, you’re wrong! I’ve met some of the best makeup artists in the business and the one thing they all believe is that for makeup to do its rightful job, the secret lies within. So, technically it’s your job to do the right thing and treat your skin right. Same goes for your hair, nails, and body!
It definitely is a whole lot of planning, but think about the actual day of your wedding – it’ll be totally worth it. Anyway, I’m not here to give you advice on how to live your life, but all I can tell you (to-be-brides, are you listening?) is that with the help of these products, you just might save yourself hour-long trips to the spa and the salon, and not to forget the damage to your wallet. I forgot to mention the best part. They are all available now at Exclusively.com, saving you the hassle of hunting from shop to shop!
To ensure you look your bridal best, we’ve lined up a must-haves list for any bride-to-be. Check it out…
1. Cleansers & Masks: Prep Your Face
Beauty really is skin deep, so what are you waiting for? Do the rounds now and line up your face masks, face wash, moisturizer, toner, serums and most importantly your sanity. You’ll thank me later.

SKINYOGA Oats and Roses Face Wash
2. Concealers & Foundation: Makeup Testing
Now this is one of the most crucial parts. I’m no makeup artist, but I can surely tell you that if you leave your makeup prep for the eleventh hour, somebody’s going to be tearing their hair and going all bridezilla on everyone around. So, start prepping now with the base and foundation you need. Do a test run if you can and choose handy, clutch-sized products you can carry around while meeting your guests (like this Natio concealer stick!).
NATIO Cleverstick SPF 15 – Beige
NATIO Mineral Crystal Loose Foundation
3. Hair Care: Have A Plan
Big hair, bouncy waves, shiny locks – any, and every bride’s wish. Like your skin, hair needs to be nourished in the pre-bridal phase. Use a good shampoo, conditioner and a cleaner to clean your scalp and make it look va-va-voom.
