What do you have in your kit for Bridal Services? Which products? Your favourite foundation, powder, eyeshadow, lipstick?

I don't have a special kit for bridal, I just use my regular kit.
I love to airbrush brides (it lasts long and looks good in photos). I use mattifying gel (I hope I spelled that right) on the t-zone so that they don't shine. I always put together a little bag for the brides that includes blotting papers, mascara and their lip color.
Also I love cream blush with brides. And the bodyography primer.

Do you apply them with your fingers or with the brush?

I use a sponge for the primer.
When I am airbrushing, I usually airbrush the blush, highlight and contour before the foundation. But on brides, I really like cream blush, so I put on a dab after the foundation. I use a sponge for cream blush most of the time.

I usually just take my regular kit.
I airbrush the foundations, use either Mercier loose transluscent powder or MAC blot.
I have a Bobbo Brown palette that I put together that works on pretty much anyone.
The colors are White, Bone, Blonde, Mahogany, Heather and Charcoal.  I also adore MAC Bliss, but it was discontinued ages ago.  :-(
For blushes I like MAC Dollymix, Angel, Blushbaby, Reed and Blunt.
Bobbi bronzers
Waterproof mascaras, single lashes, lash glue
Mercier Shimmer Sand creme shadow
MAC Whirl lip pencil and a palette full of all kinds of lip colors.
Clear gloss, NARS Babydoll, MAC Prr and some other assorted colors
Skincare product and primers.  Love the Clinique Pore minimizer.
I also carry 3 Cinema Secrets palettes, Bobbi Brown bisque corrector and MUFE concealers.
That is the major stuff.
Also, tons of sponges, q-tips, paper towels, mascara wands, brush cleanser, hand sanitizer.
Scissors, tweezers, lash curlers, bobbi pins
