They say the eyes are the window to the soul. You are finally saying “I do” to your soulmate. You want your eyes to speak beyond your exchange of vows. These blinkers need wedding eye makeup that will last throughout the ceremony, reception, laughs, tears, pop in the pictures, and everything else.

There are some top pick beauty products that will have your eyes shining into the night as you celebrate your big day. You need the essentials from eyeshadow, primer, brow kit, and more. There is one, must have, item that will help your eyes look bigger and brighter through the ceremony and beyond, mascara. You need this miracle wand for both upper lashes, but don’t forget an area that is often overlooked. The lower lashes.

This area of the eye has soft lashes that are small and difficult to see. If you add some mascara on your lower lashes, it will give your eyes a bigger and brighter look. Any mascara wand won’t do, it takes precision and technique. Ask your makeup artist to apply accordingly. While you are getting this area done, pay attention as this is a technique you can use for your wedding and beyond.

Here are some top wedding makeup items that will give
you unforgettable eyes on your big day.

Clinique Lower Lash Mascara, $12.99
This product will help enhance your bottom lashes without the smudge. Available at Sephora.

Revlon So Fierce Mascara, $8.99
