10 Things You Must Include In Your Pre-Bridal Kit

Pre-wedding phase calls for a lot of juggling and hopping between many locations and events on a single day. You must look exceptionally fresh and at the same time skincare is on the top of the radar. Prepare a small easy-to-care kit. Add these 10 absolutely basic but essential products in it.

* Oil Blotting Sheets

The biggest boon to the beauty industry would be that of the invention of oil blotting sheets/papers. While hopping in-between pre-wedding chores, shopping and other worldly activities, our natural skin oil is bound to come out and be starkly evident on our face. So keep a good stock of oil blotting sheets handy. Just a few pats on the sweat-prone spots on your face will absorb all the sweat and oil and leave your face oil-free.

* Sunscreen

Pre-wedding phase calls for a lot of going outside the house – either for dress fittings, sending wedding invites, venue hopping, etc. the list never really ends. Of course, you don’t want rough and tanned skin on your D-day, so always keep a small bottle of face-suncreen in your bag. In case you have to wash your face… Opt for the gel-based sunscreens because they are apt for the Indian weather.

* Wet Wipes

Trust wet wipes blindly! You never know when you will need them. The ones induced with natural substances can substitute for an instant face-mask when your facial skin is craving for quick cleansing and hydration.

* Hand Sanitiser

Be it any time, ALWAYS carry a tiny bottle of hand sanitiser in your hand bag. While pre-wedding shopping and outings might call for a quick snack at your favourite food stall, you do not want to touch your face with the same hands. Opt for a moisturising sanitiser as it will not only kill germs on your hands and make them grease free too, but also retain needed moisture of your hands.

* Kajal Pencil

One need not explain why kajal pencil is needed here. Well, Indian woman can never make peace with a no-kajal look, especially when it is the matter of a bride-to-be. Just go for a simple black kajal pencil that is smudge-proof so that you do not need to worry about having racoon-eyes later.

* Lip Balm

Ms. Bride-To-Be, your lips do not deserve to be dehydrated, or worse, chapped. Always keep a lip balm in your hand-bag and do not leave your lips naked. You can opt for a tinted lip balm infused with lip nourishing goodies.

* Lipstick

A simple swatch of lip colour on lips will instantly brighten an absolutely no-make-up face. Always keep these two shades handy – 1. A nude shade that complements your skin tone, 2. A classic red shade that you love (think on the line of Ruby Woo of MAC).

* Mascara

Bride-to-be, give volume to your eye-lashes so that they flutter even more dramatically. A good coat or two of a washproof mascara will add the right amount of drama to your eyes and an oomph to even a basic make-up look.

* Tissue Papers

Tissues! Even though you have plenty of them, you always feel they are less. They can substitute for oil blotting sheets when your face is too sweaty and greasy. They are always a better option instead of a handkerchief, unless if you can throw your handkerchief after a single use. Also, if you are facing smudged lipstick crisis, apply a generous coat of lip balm on it, massage gently with a finger and wipe it off with a tissue paper. Your day is saved.

* Face Spray

Long working days and/or the pre-wedding shopping sprees taking place in callous heat will make your facial skin crave for refreshment. Carry a small spray-bottle of face refreshing sprays in your hand-bag and give your face an instant dose of hydrating and aromatic refreshment.
