What to Pack in Your Bridal Beauty Bag for a Destination Wedding

Your dress is packed. Your passport is ready. But is your bridal beauty bag?

As a traveling bridal MUA, I've seen it all—forgotten lipstick, leaky hairspray, zero bobby pins in sight. Whether you’re flying cross-country or internationally, here’s what you really need in your bridal beauty bag:

Top 10 Destination Wedding Beauty Essentials:

  1. Lipstick (x2): Bring your wedding day lipstick AND a backup. Flights and foreign airports are not makeup friendly.

  2. Blotting Sheets or Powder Puff: Heat and humidity don’t stand a chance.

  3. Mini Hairspray + Hairpins: That perfect hair? Keep it in place all night.

  4. Makeup Wipes & Q-Tips: For tears, spills, smudges.

  5. Setting Spray (Travel Size): Lock it in without taking up luggage space.

  6. SPF (Non-Greasy): Especially if you’ll be outside.

  7. Eye Drops: Destination weddings often mean long days, lots of tears, and a little dehydration.

  8. Nail Glue: Just in case. Trust me.

  9. Perfume Rollerball: Fresh, compact, and won't explode mid-flight.

  10. Pain Reliever + Eye Mask: For the night before. You’ll thank me later.

If you’re booking Makeup with Anna K for your destination wedding, I also send my brides off with a touch-up kit curated just for your look. ✨
