1. Primer

Any good bridal vanity box should have a primer in it. It is necessary as it makes your skin appear pretty smooth and silky. It also helps your makeup last longer and helps diminish some of your skin blemishes.

2. Foundation

Your foundation is the base of your makeup. You need to make sure that the foundation you have matches your skin type and colour, as it can make it either make your skin look patchy or cause skin problems. Also, if you do not have a concealer in your bridal vanity box, a foundation in emergencies can act as a double.

3. Concealer

Your bridal vanity box ideally should contain a concealer, as it is the product that truly helps you hide your blemishes. You can conceal your acne scars or dark circles with it, or sometimes even brighten up some areas to give you a more glowing look.

4. Blush And Bronze

Both these products are drastically different but they help you add more colour to your skin in different ways. For the bronzer, you have to make sure that it isn’t too much darker than your skin tone, and for the blush make sure to not use too much of it, you do not want to give an old creepy doll vibe.

5. Highlighter

A highlighter might not be a staple in all bridal vanity boxes, but it should be. A highlighter adds a bit of a glow to your skin and also highlights the high points of your face, making it appear slimmer.
