While weddings are the most special for the couple celebrating their nuptials, the mother of the bride's role is noteworthy in its own way. Being the bride-to-be's mom comes with a sense of pride and bittersweetness—factors that make a stunning mother-of-the-bride makeup look worthy of such a big day. However, you don't have to go over the top with your beauty routine, especially if you're a mom who doesn't usually wear a lot of products. Bridal makeup artist Robin Lynette of Recharge Beauty + Wellness tells BRIDES that she "believes in the 'less is more' approach," noting the importance of "curating a look that enhances their natural beauty while keeping them comfortable."

Out of all the products Lynette uses on her mother-of-the-bride clients, she shares the two that help her achieve a successful mother-of-the-bride makeup look without fail. Keep reading to discover her go-to duo.

Skin prep is everything when it comes to creating the perfect canvas for makeup, and Lynette swears by this Peter Thomas Roth cream for her moms in the wedding party, calling it "a must-have for mature skin." She says: "It deeply hydrates and plumps, providing the perfect canvas for makeup application. I always prep the skin with this product to ensure it looks smooth, radiant, and ready for the big day."

According to Lynette, creating a beautiful makeup base for the mother of the bride doesn't require much more after applying moisturizer. She champions drugstore-favorite brand, e.l.f., for its Halo Glow Liquid Filter, which "works beautifully as a primer, highlighter, or even a light foundation on mature skin. It delivers a radiant, youthful glow perfect for a special day." This product's $14 price point is the cherry on top after its efficacy, extensive shade range (with different skin tones and undertones considered), and easy-to-use applicator.
