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.

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.
