Everyone knows how crucial it is to thoughtfully curate your bridal trousseau with all the right products. But ask any seasoned wedding planner and they’ll tell you that an SOS bridal kit is just as important, if not more. A smartly curated SOS kit can spare you some last-minute anxiety by swiftly handling any beauty mishaps that may arise. For example—are the emotions of the day causing your mascara to smudge? A mini mascara can save the day. Is your T-zone feeling oily just before the photos? A blurring compact powder will come to the rescue. And so on.
Before selecting products for your SOS kit, it’s important to consider both your personal preferences and skin type. For K-beauty enthusiasts, here are our top picks to add to your bridal SOS kit. You’ll find hydrating mists to refresh your skin, sebum-absorbing powders to blur imperfections, and touch-up essentials like lipsticks and eyeshadows.

Mugwort
If that sounds like something out of Harry Potter, it might as well be—owing to its magical powers. A potent winter skincare ingredient, mugwort is that all-rounder you need to include in your skincare routine. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that work on all skin types and the calming herb hydrates, soothes and nourishes dry and irritated skin. Besides, it improves your skin’s barrier function. It helps reduce inflammation and irritation, while also stimulating collagen production.
Sunscreen can be heavy and greasy, especially when you’re dealing with summer heat. That’s where Beauty of Joseon’s matte sun stick comes in. This broad-spectrum formulation is your skin shield, but with a twist. Infused with calming mugwort and nourishing camelia, it hydrates and soothes your skin while providing sun protection. The matte finish is a game-changer—it leaves no greasy residue, making it ideal for those with oily skin or anyone looking to prevent shine. Besides, the stick format makes it easy to apply on the go without any mess, whether you’re in a meeting or on lunch break. Keep it in your tote bag—it won't budge your makeup, either.
The packaging? A milky white, mini-sized sun stick that fits right into your canvas tote—snug between your AirPods and lip balm. Totally pocket-friendly, totally adorable. This little tube packs a punch with SPF 50 PA++++ for full-on, broad-spectrum sun protection. It’s loaded with silica powder to soak up excess oil and leave your skin with a soft, matte finish. Plus, it’s infused with artemisia and green tea extract to calm, hydrate and play nice with your skin barrier. The twist-up stick makes application ridiculously easy—just swipe it across your face, neck and any exposed skin.
This one feels more like an essence in a bottle than your average face mist. With chia seed extract (great for locking in moisture) and Vitamin B12 (for glow), it hydrates and calms skin without leaving a tacky finish. Light enough to layer between skincare steps, freshen up over make-up or survive a brutal office AC. A quiet overachiever especially if your skin leans sensitive or dull.
Looking for a quick face refresh during your binge? You’ll want to keep this chia seed-enhanced facial mist at hand. Designed to hydrate and refresh the skin, one quick spritz and no one will be able to tell that you spent the last hour howling as your favourite characters met an untimely end.
If Laneige’s iconic Lip Sleeping Mask feels too heavy for everyday use, the Lip Glowy Balm is the perfect alternative. Delivering the same intense hydration without the weight, this tinted balm is ideal for daytime wear. Formulated with shea and murumuru seed butters, it deeply nourishes and softens chapped lips while locking in moisture. As a bonus, it leaves behind a pinkish glossy tint for a sheer, effortless wash of colour. And the scent? Absolutely divine.
You’ve seen it on every beauty moodboard, tucked between glowy skin inspo and glossy lids—the one pink lip balm that’s practically a staple. No matter your vibe—clean girl, coquette, office siren or somewhere in-between—chances are this berry-flavored balm is clipped to your keys or floating in your bag. And honestly, why wouldn’t it be? It’s packed with shea butter and murumuru seed butter (a dream team for soft, smooth lips), delivers a juicy wash of color and has that subtle shine that looks effortless but pulled together. Plus, it’s pocket-sized, keychain-friendly and built for quick swipes on the go. For the hot days when your lips are begging for hydration, or the nights when you need a little something extra, this one’s your no-brainer. Restock it now for less.
The foundation everyone is talking about—and for good reason. The TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion delivers a lightweight yet flawless finish that lasts all day, all while packing SPF 40 PA++ for sun protection. It’s the ultimate gift for the beauty lover who’s always on trend. Not sure about their shade? The TIRA app lets you virtually swatch before you shop—so you can nail it on the first try.
This is the cushion foundation that had everyone scrambling to add it to their vanity. What’s the hype? Two words: shade precision. TirTir’s Cushion Foundation comes in 30 diverse shades, so your perfect match isn’t just a maybe—it’s basically guaranteed. But it doesn’t stop there. Expect high coverage that somehow feels barely there, intense hydration (dewy, not greasy), built-in sun protection and skin-forward ingredients that actually support your skincare goals. The foundation comes in a compact case, so you’re just a tap away from that glass-skin finish, wherever you are. And the kicker? This pore-blurring, glow-boosting foundation lasts up to 72 hours with a satin finish that feels like second skin.
If you’re all about a quick, even coverage, the TIRTIR cushion foundation is a must-have. It goes on smooth, feels lightweight and keeps your skin looking dewy through the day. We’re talking about a fuss-free finish that’s worth stocking up on for your busy mornings.
