Honeymoon Makeup
The Best Makeup Products to Take on Your Honeymoon
Makeup lovers, listen up! Your honeymoon is one of the most special times in your life—a time to unwind, bask in the love you’ve just celebrated, and feel your best. Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical beach or wandering through romantic streets on a city break, you’ll want to keep your honeymoon beauty routine simple, yet stunning. Here are my top makeup essentials to pack, ensuring you’re glowing from sunrise to sunset.
1. SPF with Tint: Protect & Perfect Your Skin
Make it stand out
The key to a sun-kissed glow is protection, and a high quality SPF with tint is a game-changer. Not only will it shield your skin from harmful UV rays, but it also gives you that perfect lightweight coverage, enhancing your natural radiance without feeling heavy. Look for an SPF with a sheer tint to even out your complexion while giving you that fresh, honeymoon-ready look.
My recommendation is Colorscience - it comes with tint and is a effective safe mineral broad spectrum SPF 50 RRP £38
2. Clear or Tinted Brow Gel: Frame Your Face
For perfectly groomed brows, a clear brow gel called “Brow Texture” from Byellie is a great option. If you prefer a bit more definition, try the tinted brow gel by Charlotte Tilbury. Both products will keep your brows looking neat and full, even in the heat. It’s a quick and easy way to elevate your look without fussing too much in the mirror.
The Charlotte Tilbury is called Legendary Brows and comes in a variety of colours linked here.
3. Consider Permanent Makeup
A bit of a shameless plug but honestly permanent makeup is such a game changer! Especially if you have limited or no brow hair or not many lashes. Brows can be done in a soft style or more defined to your taste using a form of cosmetic tattoo. The same can be done with eyeliner- Its not as painful as it sounds as numbing agent is applied! This way you have measured out brows every day with no effort. I offer permanent makeup - find out more here.
3. Tubing Mascara: Long-Lasting Lashes
Whether you’re lounging by the pool or exploring new places, you want a mascara that won’t smudge or melt away. The Hourglass tubing mascara is perfect for this. Its water-resistant formula ensures your lashes stay long and defined all day, and it washes off easily with warm water—no need for makeup remover on those relaxing honeymoon nights!
4. Mini Cream Blusher: A Pop of Colour
Add a natural flush to your cheeks with the mini cream blusher by Rare Beauty. It’s compact, perfect for travel, and blends effortlessly into your skin for that fresh, dewy look. Just a touch will give you a rosy glow that complements any sun-kissed complexion, making you look radiant all day.
5. The All-in-One Palette: Sculpted by Aimee
Packing light doesn’t mean compromising on versatility. The Sculpted by Aimee palette is your ultimate honeymoon companion. With bronzer, blush, highlighter, setting powder, and eyeshadows all in one compact, you can create endless looks without lugging around your entire makeup collection. Use the bronzer to add warmth, the highlighter for that honeymoon glow, and sweep a little shimmer eyeshadow for added sparkle.
Day-to-Night Honeymoon Looks
Day Look:
Start your day with the tinted SPF to protect your skin while giving it a healthy glow. Apply a little Magic Away concealer by Charlotte Tilbury under your eyes for a bright, refreshed look. Add a pop of Rare Beauty’s cream blusher to your cheeks, and don’t forget an SPF lip balm like the one from Summer Fridays to keep your lips soft and hydrated. Finish with the clear brow gel and Hourglass tubing mascara, and you’re ready for a day of adventure.
Evening Look:
As the sun sets, swap your tinted SPF for the mini-sized Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter—this will give your skin a luminous, candlelit glow. Add a touch of concealer where needed and reach for the Sculpted by Aimee palette to enhance your look. Use the bronzer to contour, a sweep of shimmer eyeshadow to elevate your eyes, and finish with a bit of highlighter to bring out your inner glow. It’s an effortless way to glam up for those romantic dinners or sunset cocktails.
No matter where you’ve whisked away with your new husband or wife, remember that they love you just as you are! Your honeymoon is a time to relax, have fun, and feel amazing. These easy, sun-friendly beauty products will enhance your natural beauty and give you the confidence to shine as bright as your love.
