Those who know me know that I am wedding magnet.  For the past six years, I’ve been averaging almost four weddings a year.  I’ve been single this whole time so those four weddings a year were for my own friends and family – not going as a “plus one” for someone I don’t know.

Some might think that since I get invited to so many weddings that I have grown to hate them but that’s not true.   My roommate Michelle and I will watch Platinum Weddings or Whose Wedding Is it Anyway? whenever it’s on.  To me, weddings will always be magical and the closest thing to a real-life fairy tale.

Given all that, it should come as no surprise that anything related to weddings makes my heart aflutter – especially makeup.  Women want to look flawless and feel beautiful on their special day.

So what do you get when cosmetic companies want to evoke that euphoria of walking down the aisle?  You get cute, playful and whimsically named products and colors.

Essie, one of my favorite nail polish makers, is known for their delicate hues and wide range of colors.  They’re also known for their fun nail polish names. From left to right: Lovie Dovie, Anniversary Gala, Bachelorette Bash, Blushing Bride, Flower Girl and No Pre-Nup ($8 US each) are just a few of their wedding-ready, wedding-themed name shades.

Clinique, known for their floral packaging and natural colors, also offers products with a marital moniker.  If you want to look like you’ve been struck my love then try Blushing Blush ($18.50 US) in Cupid, a pale, dusty pink for cheeks.  For soft and natural eyes, you can try Pair of Shades Eye Shadow ($17.50 US) in Spring Wedding, a duo of matte tawnies.

Three Custom Color Specialists, experts in customized shades for every occasion, offers the mini Marry Me collection.  The Marry Me lip and cheek stains in Warm and Cool shades give brides a long-lasting scarlet hue on their big day.  The Marry Me lip glosses in Warm and Cool shades are cherry-pink and give lips the perfect, kissable tint.
