Your 2024 Beauty Product Recommendations: Handpicked by Our Wedding Team
When it comes to beauty, the best recommendations come from professionals who use the products daily—and love them enough to bring them home, too! That’s why our 2024 beauty product recommendations are extra special. These are the tried-and-true items that our wedding team not only rely on in their kits for flawless bridal looks, but also reach for in their own makeup bags.
From skin-prepping essentials to statement lip colors, here’s our curated list of must-have products for 2024.
Skin Prep Staples
Your canvas is everything! These are the skin-prep products we swear by for ensuring makeup stays radiant and long-lasting:
Embryolisse lait-crème concentré : Truly an oldie, but a goodie! I think pretty all of the team use this at most weddings and it really is a hero product year on year. This versatile product is both a moisturiser and a primer and leaves skin perfectly hydrated with a real hit of moisture, even on pesky winter skin. I think all of us will be singing this products praises for years to come.
Elf Halo Glow: A wedding kit essential for the ultimate bridal radiance, as recommended by our hair and makeup artist Veronica. 
This little fellow works wonders on tired skin and really does give that lit from within look. There a few products like this on the market, including the gorgeous Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Filter, but this one has a great colour range and a great price point too. It can be used under makeup, mixed into foundation and can even be patted over makeup for a beautiful creamy highlighter finish.
And of course, lets not forget SPF!! This year we have been loving most things from Beauty Pie (their skincare range is incredible) and their Super Healthy Skin Sunscreen in no exception. Its a multi use product delivering SPF50 protection as well as priming skin ahead of makeup application.
Foundations That Deliver
Finding the perfect base is a game-changer, and this year we have had a lot of brides requesting soft skin like coverage. Here are just a couple of our favourites this year.
Delilah Wake Up Radiant Skin Tint – as recommended by our makeup artist Jode:
The perfect dewy minimal makeup base for a soft sun-kissed look. This skin tint is also packed full of skin nourishing ingredients, so feels so easy to wear.
VIEVE Skin Nova Complexion Balm – recommended by our makeup artist Kimberley:
This baby really does deliver the ‘your skin but better’ look, softly evening out your complexion. This foundation offers light to medium buildable coverage and gives the ultimate glossy glass skin look…think this may be a new favourite for our 2025 brides too!
Eye Essentials
With such a variety of products out there and new palettes being launched all the time, it really can be so tricky to know the ones that offer the best colour pay off and usability. Here are just a few eye products never fail:
Patrick Ta Major Dimension Eyeshadow Palette – as recommended by Kimberley:
This one was a new kit addition this year and sooo worth the hype. The shadows are very wearable, super blendable and come in variety of matte, shimmer and glitter finishes. The warm tones work so well for so many bridal looks, this little palette is set to become a kit staple.
Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Liner – as recommended by our makeup artist Anna:
A must-have for achieving a crisp eyeliner look that will last the whole day, even through wedding day tears! We have long loved this products for its complete reliability and ease of use, perfect for the smoothest of cat liner applications or a beautiful blended smudgey lashline…and the colour range is all so beautiful.
Iconic Triple Threat Mascara – as recommended by Jode:
This one really does pack a punch, delivering fuller volumized lifted lashes. The brush gets into all those little corners, separating out and enhancing the lashline for the whole day.
Lip Products We’re Obsessed With
When it comes to lips, Charlotte Tilbury can do no wrong We’re talking liner, glosses and lipsticks – they are all great!
Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick in Chic Pink: Beautifully moisturising satin finish, great colour payoff and the ultimate bridal balanced nude/pink colour.
Looking to make an impact? Try Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick in Love Bite. A personal favorite in our own makeup bags, it’s a warm read with a slight satin finish, so not drying over the day, and perfect for a dramatic pout.
Finishing Touches
We love the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette for a pop of multi dimensional glow. Again, our whole team swear by this and we use this on nearly every wedding! This palette features a 3 tones of soft focus finishing powders, designed to add subtle highlight and radiance to the skin and it works a treat.
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Powders – as recommended by our makeup artist Ellie
Will keep all of your hard makeup work in place for the day, trust us as we can rely on this powder to set even the earliest mornings of makeup.
