3. Tissues, Blotting Paper And Makeup Remover Wipes
All endlessly handy items – whether you have to blot off that oily sheen from your face or clean something you spilled or pat a tear dry! Always carry tissues and blotting paper in your touch-up pouch because they are multipurpose items. Make sure you use soft, unscented tissues so that they don’t mingle with the perfume that you’re wearing. Also stock your bridal makeup kit with makeup remover wipes in case you have to clean up smudged makeup. POPxo Recommends: Epique Switzerland Oil free Cleansing and Makeup Remover Wipes
4. A Miniature Perfume
Indian weddings, especially during these summer and monsoon months, can get really hot and sweaty. After all, you’ll have to sit in front of a fire and stand up for a million pictures and smile your way through in a very heavy lehenga! So it’s a good idea to carry your perfume along and spray it on every couple of hours. It’s also a good idea to use a scent that you chose especially for your big day. However, it isn’t always possible to carry the full bottle with you, but if you buy your perfume in a gift set, it will come with a miniature bottle that you can easily carry around in your bridal makeup kit!

5. A Blush Stick
A great option for the bride who wants to remain a blushing newlywed but doesn’t want to carry her whole makeup kit with her! A blush stick is easy to carry around in a bridal makeup kit and apply, and will leave your cheeks glowing. Make sure you match the colour of the blush with the colour of your lipstick POPxo Recommends: Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm
6. An Eyeliner And Lash Glue
Even though eye makeup does not come off easily if it is applied correctly, it is a good idea to carry your eyeliner along if you tend to tear up easily. If you are going to wear fake lashes, don’t forget to pack your lash glue. After all, you don’t want your lashes falling off while you’re on the stage! And if you’re going au naturel, mascara, of course! The makeup kit for the bride must definitely include one!
7. A Compact Mirror!
Last but not the least, a mirror! Very important for when you want to do a quick touch up and there isn’t enough time to run to the nearest washroom with a mirror. We suggest that the bride always carry a small mirror in her bridal facial kit! Images: Shutterstock
