Your hair may have looked on fleek while you were sitting in the makeup chair. But after hours of mingling and hugging guests, and with a heavy dupatta tugging at the crown of your head, your hair will be begging you for a quick touchup. This is when you’ll be glad you stashed a mini detangling brush from Tangle Teezer in your SOS kit for taming flyaways and smoothing out the knots caused by the outfit changes.

The best mattifying sprays can only take you so far. After you have spent a few hours in the sun for the wedding photoshoot, your face will likely betray a telltale sheen. It helps to stay one step ahead by stashing some oil control tissues in your clutch. Designed to sop up excess without disturbing your meticulously applied makeup, these tissues will take all the grease away from your T-zone.

If you need a helping hand, it also helps to keep Innisfree’s oil control powder within easy reach. When you are looking to swipe away the shine without disturbing the layers of foundation and concealer, look to this mattifying powder to rebalance excess sebum on the skin. A light hand will help you revive your makeup without creating a cakey or patchy finish.

On the biggest day, you’ll want to soak in all the sights and sounds—and you definitely won’t want any loose lashes clouding your vision. As much as we love false lashes, prolonged wear can make them come loose. Keeping Swiss Beauty’s eyelash glue at hand can help you easily secure and re-attach any stray lashes with the swipe of a wand.

In between all the long hours, humidity and happy tears, your eye makeup might lose its lustre. But Prada’s Dimensions Holo Nude Eyeshadow will be there to help. Under the compact lid, four neutral and shimmery shades nest cosily, ready to touch up your cut crease or stand in as a contour or highlighter in a pinch.

Posing, pouting and stealing kisses with your man when no one is looking can all take its toll on the intensity of your lip colour, which is why, the smart bride always prepares for contingencies by keeping a mini lipstick at hand’s reach. The MACximal Matte Mini Lipstick range is designed to fit snugly within crowded bridal clutches, but don’t let its diminutive size fool you. The pigmented hue promises full coverage with 27 shades to choose from.

As much as you’d love to keep your bridal fragrance consistent through endless ceremonies, the truth is that you can either carry the weight of a heavy lehenga or lug around a full-sized perfume—not both. To keep any stinky situations at bay, you’ll want to stash this travel-sized perfume pen spray from Marc Jacobs in your clutch for discreet touchups. One quick spritz; and you can instantly refresh your mood with a floral burst of banana blossom accord, jasmine extract, tuberose, amber and sandalwood.
