Planning a tropical wedding? 🌴 Whether you're getting married in Jamaica or another paradise destination, your bridal makeup has to withstand the heat, humidity, and excitement of the day. At 876 Faces by Teeah , I’ve worked with many brides to create long-lasting, radiant looks that hold up beautifully in tropical climates. Here are my must-have products for flawless bridal makeup in a tropical setting.
1. Long-Wear Foundation
A foundation that lasts through heat and humidity is essential. Choose a long-wear foundation that provides the coverage you need while feeling lightweight on your skin. This will ensure your makeup stays intact from the ceremony to the reception.

Teeah’s Pick: Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation
An amazing satin matte foundation that provides a balance of coverage and comfort for tropical weather.
Great for both oily and dry skin types with the right skin prep
2. SPF
Sunscreen is a must for tropical weddings, but to ensure maximum protection, apply your SPF 40+ (no lower) separately from your foundation. This protects your skin from UV rays without compromising your makeup.

4. Lightweight, Hydrating Primer
A good primer is key for a smooth, long-lasting finish in humid weather. Opt for a hydrating primer (yes even for oly skin) that preps the skin and helps your makeup hold through heat.

Pro Tip: apply a gel primer all over and a mattifying primer only on the oily areas

6. Airbrushed Makeup
For brides seeking a flawless and lightweight makeup option, airbrushed makeup is an excellent choice. It offers even coverage, long-lasting wear, and is perfect for tropical weddings due to its durability in heat. Using a compressor to spray a fine mist of makeup onto the skin, airbrushing creates a seamless and natural look with buildable coverage, allowing for a perfect finish without heavy layers.

Whether bold or neutral, I think we can all agree that a well done lip adds a touch of finesse to your bridal look. Choose a long-lasting lip color that complements your style. Whether it’s a classic red for a beautiful neutral, that lip needs to be on.. and on aallll day
