The morning of your wedding<\/a> is a little like a fever dream. Buckets of anticipation, planning and money have gone into making this the most memorable day of your life, and so actually experiencing it is slightly surreal.<\/p>\n

Despite all of my prep, I hadn\u2019t given that much thought to what would happen after<\/em> I left the safe confines of Celia Burton\u2019s<\/a> makeup chair and made my way to the ceremony, and then the reception, supper, and party. Surely my face, given how meticulously she had applied my makeup, would stay perfect? Because she always thinks three steps ahead, Celia packed me off with an SOS beauty kit stashed inside my bridal bag\u2014a sweet but tiny Anya Hindmarch horseshoe<\/a> number.<\/p>\n

Realizing I might be in need of more than just the glow that comes with happiness, I chucked a couple of my own non-negotiable products in there, too. (My sister asked if she could pop her phone in as well. Um, no.)<\/p>\n

Here, a glimpse inside my micro bridal bag.<\/p>\n

Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm in Trace<\/h2>\n

I have the type of face that can\u2019t carry off lipstick<\/a>. I\u2019m not fishing for compliments; it just looks bad. I can get away with a pigmented gloss, though, and am never more than six centimeters away from my beloved Trace Glossy Balm<\/a>. It\u2019s a warm, pinky brown tone that goes on like a lip balm but has the shine of a gloss. It\u2019s your own lips but better\u2014especially if your natural lip color leans more taupe or brown.<\/p>\n

Glossier Lip Line Enhancing Pencil in Buff<\/h2>\n

If you haven\u2019t heard the words \u201cnipple-matched\u201d in relation to lip liner<\/a>, well, now you have. A clever way to find a range of true-nude colors, Glossier used lips and nipples to find the nearest matches. Buff<\/a> is a soft \u201ctoasted almond\u201d shade which translates to a warm, mid-tone brown. Celia and I tried a couple before settling on it, deciding that both Bit<\/a> and Grip<\/a> read as too pink for my liking. Having it with me made any post-eating touch-ups a breeze.<\/p>\n
