Top makeup items for your purse on the wedding day? Karin suggests. "Blotting papers (MAC Blot Film is good one) and carry a pressed powder in your shade to matte down any shine. Make sure you have a lipstick and or gloss to touch up your lips as it is a long day. Everything else, as long as your using the right long-wearing waterproof products, should last all day and night!"
