We have now descended into perpetually cooler weather, and we’re not mad about it. With fall comes quite a few exciting new beauty launches that are especially great for brides. The best part? You can obviously use these new items well into the new year. If you’re doing some shopping for the holiday season—with a beauty purchase or two for your upcoming wedding—these are the products we highly recommend.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Liquid Concealer
Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup line includes several favourites of Weddingbells editors (we have a major crush on her Matte Revolution lipstick in “Pillow Talk”), and one of the latest launches from the brand is a new must-have. The Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away concealer is full coverage and removes the appearance of fine lines, blemishes and pores—which is exactly what you want for your wedding day. The formula is also water-resistant and the texture feels like a second skin, to ensure you look flawless in photos no matter how many tears you’ve shed!

Tiffany & Co. Eau de Parfum Intense
Playing off of their original signature perfum, the Tiffany & Co. Eau de Parfum Intense contains some of the same notes, but includes additional amber and benzoin (which smell vanilla-like), amping this fragrance up a notch and feeling like a deep, rich hug (which sounds like a great idea, given the cooler temperatures!) Perfect for your wedding day, this scent wears like a dream and will have you feeling as luxe as any of this jeweller’s iconic pieces.

L’Occitane Delicate Cherry Blossom Treasures
The holiday season is the perfect time to stock up on limited edition holiday gift sets that you can use as presents for your bridal party at any time of year. This year we’ve got our eyes on L’Occitane’s gorgeous Delicate Cherry Blossom Treasures gift set, which includes bath and shower gel, Bonne Mére rose soap, shimmering lotion, hand cream, and eau de toilette enriched with cherry extract from Luberon, Provence all packaged up in a beautiful L’Occitane x Castelbajac Paris red gift box.

Rodial Soft Focus Glow Drops
Healthy, glowing skin is a wedding day must, so Rodial’s new Soft Focus Glow Drops seem designed with brides in mind. This hybrid skin care and makeup product can be applied alone or mixed with foundation to brighten and illuminate your complexion giving you lit-from-within radiance for your walk down the aisle.

Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip
Every bride knows that a great lippie is paramount for the big day. Most brides will opt for a shade that’s classic and timeless, while some will take a more unconventional route and wear something that packs a punch. No matter what shade you choose, the Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip line is beautifully bridal-worthy. While many liquid lip formulas can leave your lips feeling dry (which is exactly what you don’t want on your big day), this is a high-shine formula that ensures your pout stays perfectly lush.

Omorovicza Skin Saviour Mask
Omorovicza, the luxe Budapest-based skincare brand known for containing mineral-rich healing waters from the city, has come out with a new line of Silver products to help fight blemishes. The anti-bacterial and healing properties of collodial silver are used with other ingredients such as vitamin B3, salicylic and glycolic acids to brighten and exfoliate the skin. The thick mask, when applied, is indeed silver and washes off to reveal a smooth, soft complexion. Use it in your routine pre-wedding to zap any imperfections.

L’Oreal Colorista Hair Makeup
Pre-wedding festivities, especially your bachelorette party, are the perfect opportunity to do something a little out of the ordinary. For a fun night out with your girls, L’Oreal’s Colorista Hair Makeup is a great way to spice up your look. The formula washes right out of your hair with just one shampoo, making it easy to play with colour. Thanks to the new neon shades with a glow-in-the-dark effect that have been recently introduced to the line, your look will definitely stand out during any evening events.

With October upon us, we’re looking forward to cooler temperatures and cozy sweaters. Better yet, we’re embracing the upcoming fall weddings where we know we won’t have to stand outside in 30 degree-plus weather, sweating under the sun. With fall comes gorgeous colours, and weddings that play up the best of the season.

With the weather change, you’ll have to adapt your beauty routine to ensure your makeup not only stays all day, but protects against the elements. We’ve chosen some of our current favourite beauty products for the month of October that are easy to integrate into your existing beauty routine to ensure you’re ready for the cooler weather ahead.

BITE Beauty Sweet Treats: Party Prep Agave Lip Care Set
The perfect little present to include in wedding welcome bags or bridesmaid gift boxes, these party prep lip kits include a mini version of BITE’s best-selling Agave Lip Balm, a water-activated Agave Lip Scrub sample and a mini Champagne Agave Lip Mask for a frost of wedding-ready rose gold pearl colour, all packaged up in a cute little pill bottle.

KORRES Pure Greek Olive 3-in-1 Nourishing Oil
Combat the cool weather with this new all-purpose moisturizer from KORRES. Incorporate this velvety, luxurious oil into your day cream for enhanced moisturization, use it as a highlighter by applying a drop on the cheekbones, work it into the ends of your hair to eliminate split ends and frizz or use it all over your body after showering to lock in moisture.

L’Oreal Colour Riche Shine Lipstick in “Fawn”
On your wedding day, and particularly in the cooler months, you’ll want a lipstick that’s moisturizing and comfortable to wear. For this reason, we’re currently loving L’Oreal Paris’s Colour Riche Shine Lipstick in the very wedding-appropriate nude hue “Fawn.” Infused with oil, this formula doesn’t feel waxy whatsoever on the lips, and the colour payoff and shine it provides ensures you have the perfect pout throughout all parts of your big day.

$12.99, lorealparis.ca.

Kérastase Resistance Bain Extentioniste and Fondant Extentioniste
This revolutionary line from Kérastase, formulated to encourage long locks, was basically made for brides. Designed to target the hair fibre from root to tip, this shampoo and conditioner combo works together to keep locks fortified while repairing split ends and breakage. Enriched with taurine, the shampoo protects the hair follicle while creating healthy scalp environment while the conditioner’s creatine R complex works to reinforce the internal structure of the hair. Use this line from the moment you get engaged for gorgeous long tresses on your wedding day with no extensions required!

$45 and $48, kerastase.ca.

Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence
For a refreshing dose of hydration to your skin, we love the Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence. Like many health and wellness enthusiasts, Fresh’s founder wanted to see if there were properties in kombucha, the fermented sweet black tea, that would show benefits to the skin after being applied directly. The result is this essence, which protects the skin against air pollutants and provides antioxidant protection.  Apply it after cleansing your face at night during your pre-wedding skincare routine.

$85, sephora.ca.

Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Davana Cologne
We can’t emphasize enough just how important a wedding-day fragrance is. One we’re currently loving is the Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Davana Cologne. This floral fragrance is given a cheerful twist with the addition of davana, and smells like how you’d want to smell if you’ve been in the English countryside. For celebrations where the flowers are lush and plentiful, this would make the ultimate scent, bringing you back to your celebration each time you smell it.

CND Wild Earth Collection
CND’s latest collection is inspired by nature, including its textures and landscapes. With earthy shades that are neutral and go with basically any shade of wedding dress, these hues are perfect for every style of bride. We especially love “Spear,” the ultimate nude-pink, and “Blue Moon,” that perfect something-blue colour for brides with a bit of an edge.
