To help you look your very best from the aisle to the after-party, the editors of Martha Stewart Weddings have a yearly tradition: We ask experts and recently wed women for their tried-and-true beauty picks to compile a round-up of the greatest makeup, hair, and skin-care products for brides.

Without further ado, we're thrilled to announce the 40 winners for 2013 that withstood happy tears, humidity, wind, and a full night of dancing!

Sure, adding a step on Monday mornings may be unappealing, but come your wedding day, Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer is indispensable, rave its fans.

For the look of just-pinched cheeks, Stila Convertible Blush in Peony can't be beat. The sheer rose tint adds a hint of warmth, and using a small brush ensures an even application. "It melts in for an au naturel glow," says Kayleen McAdams, a makeup artist in Los Angeles. Smooth the creamy color onto the apples of your cheeks, blending it slightly up and out for a soft flush.

We rarely see a makeup artist on set (or at a wedding) without Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat at the ready.
