FOUNDATION
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
STICK
Pack your makeup bag with these essentials for easy, flawless application.
PORTABLE FOUNDATIONS ARE PERFECT FOR WORRY-FREE TOUCH-UPS. Best for: Celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta says these are “great for covering skin imperfections on the go.” Level of coverage: Medium to full How to apply: Martini explains, “foundation sticks are usually very creamy,
buildable and easy to apply directly to skin or using your fingers.” Since sticks have a concentrated amount of high coverage, it’s important to use a product that best matches your natural skin color and thoroughly blend the formula into skin to avoid streaking.
Burberry Fresh Glow Gel Stick Clinique Chubby in the Nude Foundation Stick
With a fine tip of synthetic fibers, this Japonesque Color Collection Foundation Brush offers accuracy in those delicate areas like undereyes and sides of the nose.
Flesh Foundation Stick
Rivera suggests using dish soap with a small amount of water to blot any foundation stains on your dress.
For a sheer, allover dewy look, apply liquid foundation with a moist Beautyblender. The damper the sponge, the dewier the finish.
CREAM
THESE LIGHT, MULTI-TASKERS MAKE WEDDING-DAY MAKEUP SEAMLESS.
Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer
IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF
Best for: “BB, or Beauty Balm, is for those wanting a ‘no-makeup’ look with extra skincare benefits, like SPF, shine control or hydration. CC, or Color Correcting, also has multiple benefits but offers more coverage meant to address uneven
The unique handle on this densely bristled Artis Elite Oval 7 brush ensures a more comfortable application for hands and airbrush-like finish for skin.
skin tone or redness,” says Rivera. Level of coverage: Very light to medium How to apply: Rivera says to apply creams with your fingers as you would a moisturizer just in the areas where needed for natural, healthy-looking skin. A wide, fluffy brush like this Fenty Beauty Face & Body Kabuki Brush works best for buffing in powder foundation.

YOU WANT TO GO ALL-IN, HE WANTS TO DROP OUT. ON THESE AWESOME CARIBBEAN ISLANDS YOU CAN DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU LIKE. BY CARRIE BELL

hether your idea of a perfect post-hitched tropical island holiday includes R&R—rum punch and relaxation—on repeat, or non-stop activities that make the heart race and the adrenaline spike or a combo of both, these tropical hot spots have you covered. Even the hotels can feel like two different honeymoons for the price of one. Are you ready to get your heart pumping or set it aflutter? Here’s where to book.
PHOTOGRAPHY: SUNSET AT THE PALMS
ARUBA Sometimes big things come in small packages. Such is the case with Aruba, a Dutch isle home to pristine miles of stunning beach, 90 nationalities, 300 restaurants and at least seven pink flamingos. The northern coast boasts towering limestone cliffs. And the interior is home to a sprawling desert expanse. The waters are also the final resting place of the Antilla, the Caribbean’s largest shipwreck and a prime dive spot. THRILL: Take the wheel of an all-terrain vehicle, feel the wind in your hair and make everyone eat your dust when you go all fast and furious on a De Palm Tours off-road adventure on the
cactus-filled desert side of Aruba. Stop long enough to plunge into natural pools, scramble over rock formations and visit a historic chapel and mill ruins. CHILL: Lather on the Aruba Aloe, grown and made on island, and ease any discomfort lounging in the Caribbean sun may have caused. Eat a subdued supper while almost horizontal at Screaming Eagle, where booths are actually platform beds and the lobster bisque comes on a TV tray. STAY: Continue with dessert at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino on Palm Beach. Grab a scoop at Gelato & Co to enjoy in one of the hanging pods in the courtyard or in a cabana at the adults-only pool. Nothing elevates the pulse ➺
