Q. I know I’ll bawl throughout the ceremony—could you recommend mascara that won’t run?

A. When emotions are running high, Bunch loves Genie TLC Mascara ($20, geniebeauty.com), a waterproof formula that lengthens and defines lashes. “I recently used it on an actress who had just broken up with her boyfriend and cried between every take—and I swear, it didn’t budge,” she says. Maybelline New York Waterproof Great Lash Mascara ($6.15 at retailers nationwide) is another good option. Then, to mop up tears while staying smudge-free, wrap a small piece of paper towel around your finger and dab—rather than wipe—away the dampness.
