Emily's Must Have Makeup Items

Emily's Makeup Must Haves


Ok, onto makeup. This is the fun part. I love when people email or write me a thank you note explaining just how long their makeup wore for their wedding. I always explain that the idea is for the products to be applied in soft layers, so it doesn’t look or feel like a ton of makeup. Primers and eye shadow base are two very important products. If it weren’t for these items, I wouldn’t expect the colors to come up true, or last throughout the day.

Remove all traces of eye makeup with Chanel Eye Makeup Remover by using a small amount on a cotton square or round; swipe down for best results.
