My Top 3 Favorite Moisturizers for Brides & Everyday
My Top 3 Favorite Moisturizers for Brides That Will Keep Your Makeup On All Day!
Making sure your foundation lasts all day (and all night) is very important on your wedding day. But really most days you want it to stay put! But we've all heard the analogy the house is only as good as its foundation.
Well, the same goes for makeup. What's under your makeup will set you up for success. I tell all my brides to make sure they start asap, if they aren't already, to begin using a regular skincare routine. Prepping your skin for your wedding makeup is such a key step. I cannot emphasize this enough. The times we've hit trouble has been because of skin issues.
So making sure we don't hit any bumps in the road to beautiful wedding makeup let's get to 3 moisturizers, that are reasonably priced and work!!!
Beautycounter has a combo situation I like. Counterstart cocoboost moisturizer & Countermatch intense moisturizer serum. This daily moisturizer is lightweight so you don’t feel heavy and it’s not greasy. It absorbs quickly and provides hydrations. It is a gentle formula that features a blend of coconut oil and also vera to nourish and soothe skin. As well uses Vitamin E to protect from environmental aggressors. If you have easily irritated skin this is a great daily moisturizer.
The Countermatch Serum is packed with two forms of hyaluronic acid, plus vitamins C and E, this intensely moisturizing serum, without mineral oil or synthetic fragrance, delivers a boost of lasting hydration and antioxidant protection. Together you have a moisture team!
Skintelligence is another powerhouse of a moisturizer. And for daily use it's a workhorse. It carries 5 times its weight in water to hydrate skin cells, plumps up the skin (this is what we want!), fights free radicals with antioxidants, works great under makeup! It's also non-oily & plant base makes this a great daily moisturizer, just like I mentioned!
As amazing as they both are, the Holy Grail for under makeup moisturizer is Water Balm! You knew I was going to say it. You knew. I had a bride come in last week. She has gorgeous young skin, exfoliated and she takes care of her skin. She does an excellent job with her routine (Beautycounter Babe!) So at the trial I didn’t do the entire skin prep routine, but I did put Water Balm on her skin. Activate Glow! Of course I didn’t take a photo! I was rushed, so I wanted her skin, makeup & hair perfect so I didn’t take any extra time for anything else.
I promise to take photos at her wedding in a few weeks! Water Balm is a five in one product. It contains that serum and primer like properties so you don’t have to add additional products. This multipurpose moisturizer provides 12 hour plus hydration. It’s formulated with Japanese water bead technology. When those beads are released you can feel the refreshing hydration!
