The Best New Beauty Products for Brides

Another day, another beauty product. Makeup and skincare innovations roll out year after year, which can make it quite difficult to figure out which newcomers actually live up to the hype and which ones are better left on store shelves. When you're planning a wedding—which includes finalizing your bridal beauty look!—weeding through the latest and greatest in skincare, makeup, and haircare is likely the last thing on your to-do list. That's where we come in. Our editors combed through the most noteworthy beauty launches of late to bring you a curated list of products that'll deliver in the months leading up to the wedding, on the day-of, and beyond.

Luckily for today's brides-to-be, the future of skincare and makeup has never looked brighter—literally. From antioxidant-packed serums that deliver radiant skin, to creamy highlighter formulas that'll help you look lit from within (without reading full-blown disco ball!), these workhorse products are here to help you glow for your walk down the aisle. Also noteworthy? The beauty sphere has drawn on the latest technological advancements to bring the dermatologist's office to your home. Here, you'll find a series of devices that'll zap zits, minimize fine lines, and improve skin's elasticity.

On the hair front, natural is the name of the game. Think sulfate- and paraben-free formulas that reinvigorate tired, limp locks while restoring volume and shine. As for wedding day mani-pedis, modern muted shades of your favorite pastels (opt for beige-pinks, soft grays, and café au laits) feel incredibly fresh, whatever the time of year. Whether you're looking for a way to revamp your skincare routine before the big day, searching for the perfect long-wearing foundation (that'll last you through wedding photos and a night of dancing), or trying to achieve smooth arms and legs for the honeymoon, these beauty innovations are here to save your wedding day—and, come to think of it, your every day.

There are two underlying themes to the skincare advancements of today: treat and hydrate. For treatment, zap blemishes with a targeted light-therapy-inspired pen that simultaneously reduces hyperpigmentation and scarring, or work on crow's feet with a device that you can wear as you power nap. If you're battling something more serious, like rosacea, now's the time to turn to your derm. The latest in redness-reduction research will transform you from a flushing bride into an appropriately-blushing one.

To hydrate, choose formulas that moisturize just as much as they polish (that means finding masks and serums that pair up ingredients like hyaluronic acid with other texture-refining active). Give these gems a few months and, on the wedding day, you'll hardly believe that you woke up like this.

From the latest in long-wear foundation technology and stay-put mascara to luminizing highlighters (we loved all of Milk's sticks so much we couldn't choose just one!) and moisturizing lipsticks, the following products work for the long haul—and won't melt off, cake, or flake as the evening wears on. On the makeup menu? Expect lots of creamy formulas (that means a base that blurs imperfections but doesn't mask or congest your actual skin) and pops of color (blue eye makeup is back, and it's anything but your mother's eyeshadow). While all of these products will enhance your bridal beauty look, we were particularly intrigued by the advent of magnetic false eyelashes—just clip 'em on and you're wedding photo ready!

If you're thinking about gifting your bridesmaids a favorite lip gloss or blush (a solid choice), first consider this genius idea: a makeup subscription service, like Beauty Pie, featured ahead. They'll be able to choose their products based on their own needs and wants, all for a price that won't blow your wedding party gift budget.

When it comes to wedding hair, brides want their locks to be in the best possible shape. You'll need to start that process sooner rather than later if you want to meet that goal, though. That's where these products come in. Modern beauty buys like natural shampoos and conditioners that are like smoothies for your strands (Biolage's entire line earned top marks) and new-age foam forumlas that'll help you go longer between washes will be high on your must-have list.

The perfect bridal manicure is purely subjective, and we're completely unbiased (we love fire-red just as much as blush!). Today's trending shades gravitate towards muted interpretations of your favorite pastels: think dusty lilacs, sages, and creamy neutral tones. They're just as wearable as baby pink and make a statement without overwhelming your entire look. Alternatively, pack a punch with poppy blues. There's nothing wrong with going big and bold.
