Sculpted by Aimee Love Story The Collection: Wedding Palette, €39 Romance is in the air for Sculpted boss Aimee Connolly, who recently released her Love Story collection to coincide with her nuptials.

The Wedding Palette contains a powder bronzer, cream highlighter and blush, shimmer and matte shadows, all you need for touch-ups.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, €33 Irish weather conditions are unpredictable and humidity, heat and rain are all threats to your picture-perfect makeup — not to mention sweating while dancing up a storm with your guests or listening to the best man’s speech!

This ground-breaking formula is free of oil and parabens, and features patented Temperature Control Technology, which claims to lower the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush and concealer in place for up to 16 hours.

And it is suitable for combination, oily and dry skin types.

Available from boots.ie and lookfantastic.com.

L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Ageing Night Cream, €25.99 Weddings can spell sleepless nights from hen parties to day two, not to mention the hectic days in the run-up.

Cult favourite Revitalift feels silky soft when applying, and star ingredient hyaluronic acid gives a filler-like effect without a needle in sight.

It’s suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Widely available from Boots stores nationwide, boots.ie and other stockists.

.

Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Colour, €14.99 WITH kissing, eating and drinking all on the agenda, a hardwearing matte lipstick is a must.

We love this two-in-one rich formula, with a lustrous top coat for moisture and shine.

And it even comes in 25 stunning shades to suit the stunning complexion of every blushing bride.

Available from Boots, maxfactor.com and stockists nationwide.

.

Dermalogica Daily Milkfoliant,€74 EVERY bride-to-be dreams of clear glowing skin and this starts with a good exfoliant. Skincare experts warn against using harsh exfoliants and peels close to the big day.

Dermalogica’s Milkfoliant is gentle enough to use daily.

Available from stockists nationwide and dermalogica.ie

Gua Sha Tool by Agnes Gajewska, €10 ESSENTIALS Spa facialist Agnes Gajewska is renowned for her ‘Face Yoga’ technique. Magazine+ recently visited her in Baggot Street and we were astounded by the results. While Agnes is in high demand, bespoke facials can be booked with any of the staff at Essentials Spa.

Her gua sha tool (pictured above) is designed to give your face a workout and release your inner glow. See faceyogabyagnes.com.

Seamless skin is made possible with this must-have puff, which glides make-up on with an instant lift and filter-like, blurred finish.
