Wedding season is just around the corner. I have been a professional makeup artist for 15 years and I have helped more brides along with their bridal parties get ready for their special day than I can count. I also founded an award winning Toronto based hair and makeup team The Blush Parlour. In addition I have been a guest at my fair share of weddings. In a nutshell I consider myself an expert when it comes to wedding beauty day essentials. In this article I am sharing my top 2025 wedding season beauty essentials.
Essential #1 Under Eye Patches
If you follow me on social media you have probably seen me raving about the Pixi Under-EYE Patches. I use them almost everyday because they are perfect to help reduce the appearance of tired eyes and puffiness. They are also extremely hydrating and help minimize the appearance of fine lines and under eye dryness.
They are absolutely perfect for wedding season. The Pixi under-eye patches come in a jar of 60 patches so you have plenty to use prior to the big event and the morning of.
PRO TIP: I keep my under-eye patches in the fridge for an added cooling effect that can further reduce puffiness and wake up tired under eyes.
Here are the different options from Pixi, depending on your under-eye concerns.
I have tried them all and love them all equally 🙂
- The NutrifEYE Eye Patches help soften and replenish the under-eyes. They are infused with rose to nourish and minimize the appearance of redness, as well as aloe vera and chamomile to soothe.
- The DetoxifEYE Eye Patches are another option to depuff and revive tired eyes. They are infused with cucumber and gold to help soothe and nourish, and hyaluronic acid and caffeine to help reduce dark circles.
- Dream-yEYE Eye Patches are a calming and replenishing blend of chamomile and lavender, as well as vitamin A and jasmin. These are perfect to use the night before the big day.
Essential #2 Water Proof Mascara
On the topic of eyes every special occasion calls for a waterproof mascara. The waterproof mascara that everyone needs this wedding season is the Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara

Essential #3 False Eye Lashes
If you want a bit more intensity along your lash line for wedding season applying false lashes is the way to go.
Ardell recently launched a variety of new styles just in time for wedding season! I have been using Ardell lashes in my professional makeup kit for years. They are easy to apply, look incredible and are affordable.
These new lash styles come with everything you need to achieve salon worthy looking lashes.

Essential #4 Lip Oil
Lip Oils are the hottest lip product right now and for good reason. They are hydrating, nourishing and if you grab a tinted one add the perfect wash of colour to any look.
These Oh My Gloss Lip Oils from Rimmel London are OUTSTANDING!
- They provide a natural glossy non-sticky finish.
- The Soft doe-foot applicator is so luxurious on the lips
- They come in 5 mouthwatering juicy flavours.
- Blend of lip-hugging actives that hydrates, comforts, and leaves lips instantly nourished, smooth and plumped.
- Cruelty-free, gluten-free, vegan formula.
- They are also easy to reapply on the go and don’t accentuate any fine lines around the lips.
I can not recommend these hydrating lip oils enough! Oh and bonus, hydrated nourished lips photograph so much better that dry puckered lips 😉
Essential #5 A Signature Fragrance
A signature fragrance is the finishing touch to a bridal look or wedding guest outfit. Our sense of smell is strongly tied to our memory and having a fragrance that can transport us back to a moment in time is so special. I always love seeing the perfumes my bridal clients and their guests pick for the big day. Some fragrances come with sentimental stories while others have been used for generations.
My favourites for this season are the newest from :
Marc Jacobs – Daisy Wild Eau So Intense Eau de Parfum
The bottle is a showstopper in itself but the fragrance is where the magic happens. It’s a warm floral scent that lingers all day long. With notes of Banana Blossom, Jasmine and Amber. This is the perfect option for wedding season 2025.
Another perfect option is the:
Burberry Her Eau de Parfum Intense
This fragrance is also a fresh and feminine floral scent. With notes of strawberry and orange blossom, mixed with notes of warm ambery wood. This dreamy, fruity, vibrant gourmand is perfect for any special occasion.
And how STUNNING is this sleek, minimalist bottle?
Congratulations if you are getting married this year! And to all the wedding guests attendees I hope my 2025 Wedding Beauty Essentials make your wedding season even more enjoyable.
