Of course, the key to avoiding wedding day beauty emergencies is planning ahead. A week or so before your wedding day, find a midsize beauty bag and pack as many of the following checklist items as you deem necessary. Dispatch one of your bridesmaids to the pharmacy a few days in advance to find travel-sized products of as many of the items as possible, but for makeup, don't waver from the products you are using on the big day. (If your makeup is being done professionally, ask your artist which products you absolutely need to maintain the look before you buy.) And leave products you've never used before at home -- your wedding day is not the time to discover a new allergy.

Give your beauty bag to one of your bridesmaids for safe keeping -- and safe arrival -- at the reception. Ask her to keep it with her purse. Reception sites often have a room set aside for the bridal party's personal things.
