But this concealer goes above any beyond simple coverage; it uses Kimiko’s latest signature technologies to reduce problem areas.

Kimiko’s SuperFine Eyebrow Pencil Automatique $24:
This eyebrow pencil isn’t messing around when it says “super fine.” The pencil is so thin
that it allows for all your strokes to be precise and blend easily with the eyebrow for a very natural look. The lines it creates are almost as fine as the hairs themselves. It comes equipped with an eyebrow brush for fixing mistakes as well, however its slim pencil is so effective that it’s hardly necessary. Eyebrow enhancement is one of the most overlooked steps in makeup application, but the use of this pencil makes a difference that will surely stand out in your wedding pictures. Kimiko’s S
heer Tint and Lip Plumper $37:

The plumping gloss that goes over the tint gives just the right amount of shine that will last through your vows. It works to plump your lips by using dehydrated collagen molecules that naturally plump up yo
ur lips without creating dryness or being overly sticky.
