Every bride wants to look radiant on her special day, and lipstick is one of the ways to easily add a pop of color. Whether you want to go soft or bold, the most important thing is for you to still look like your beautiful self, just a bit more polished than usual. That is why you have to choose a lip color that you feel comfortable with, one that you know for sure will look good on you.
No idea on what lip color to wear on your wedding day? Here are some options:
Nude
Nude lips can look pretty on your wedding day, but only if you pick the right color. Contrary to what you might think, the right shade of nude lipstick is not the one that matches your skin color. Choosing such a color will only make you look pale and washed-out, which we're sure is not the look you're aiming for on your wedding day. Instead, opt for a nude lipstick with a hint of pink so the color can flatter your overall complexion. If pink is not your color, you can choose coral or a peach-based nude that can brighten up your face. Remember, never pick a nude lipstick that has brownish or beige hints on your wedding day. Always, always, look for nudes with hints of color in them!
Classic red
A bold red lip is a classic look that can never go wrong, especially on your wedding day. Red can be an intimidating choice if you're not used to it, but choosing the right red lipstick is actually not that hard. First of all, choose a red that goes well with your skin undertone. If you have a cool undertone, a bluish red is the one that you're looking for. If you have a warmer undertone, brick or tomato red will definitely be your best friend. The perfect shade of red will not only freshen up your whole look, but also make your teeth look whiter! Finding a red lipstick that works for you doesn't have to be a challenge after all, and when you finally find it, you'll won't be able to stop wearing red lipstick even after the big day!
Bold and vibrant
Go big or go home! You're already the center of attention on your wedding day, so there's no reason not to add more drama to your lips. To really draw attention to the lips, we tend to prefer matte shades rather than glossy lips. Not only are matte shades more long-lasting, glossy bold lips will most likely get messy by the end of the day. If you have dark skin, bright berry shades will pop beautifully on your complexion. Those with medium skin have more options, as any reddish or fuchsia pink will suit your skin tone nicely.
If you're still unsure whether these lip colors will really look good on you, you can always try them out before the big day. Try on several colors at home so you will know which ones suit your look and skin tone. If you're planning an outdoor wedding, go outside for lunch to see whether your lips still look good under natural sunlight. At the end of the day, just listen to your instincts. If you like it, wear it!
