Because there’s going to be tears
After you’re done planning the big day – the venue, the guest-list, the dress – don’t forget all the smaller details.
Picking out your mascara might not seem top priority, but you’d regret not giving it more thought when your wedding photos are more panda-eye than Disney princess.
If you're choosing to do your own make up, or have one of your mates do it, then you'll want to have the best kit possible – as we all know, a workman is only so good as her tools.
Luckily for you, we’ve picked out some of our favourite water resistant mascaras to help you get though the rollercoaster of emotions that is your wedding day
