For my wedding, I did a boatload of experimentation with makeup, so that I could do my own face (for both budgetary and aesthetic reasons). If you'd like to look at the whole string of those posts, you can read them by clicking here. However, since we all have different makeup needs, I decided to put together an index, both by product and by category, so you can check things out. If you have a verified super star from your own wedding day, holler and I will add it to the list--same goes if you have something that was just terrible (or meh). Hope this is useful!

So you can judge how useful these reviews will be for you, I am very pale* with sensitive skin. I got married in Tucson, Arizona, in dry conditions that made my skin flakier and drier than usual. I usually have combination skin spring-fall and dry skin in the winter. All of the recommended skin products here should probably be used with caution if you have oily skin, but I think I can safely say that none of these should cause sensitivity issues.

Hourglass Mineral Veil makeup primer for eyelids (from a reader with normal-to-oily skin, dear Jennifer, who says it's better than Urban Decay).

*Would a post about recommended sunscreens be helpful? Cause I am sort of an expert. If I could get paid for getting sunburned, I'd be a multi-millionaire. For reals.
