How to Wear Red Lipstick on Your Wedding Day
May 19, 2021
If you’ve been dreaming about rocking red lipstick on your wedding day this is your sign to do it! A statement lip color is a fabulous accessory for any bride who wants to add a pop of personality. Plus, as mask mandates lift, there’s no better time to embrace a bold hue. To select the best shade and to make sure your lip color stays perfectly in place as you walk down the aisle, follow the simple guidelines below.
Pick a Flattering Shade for Your Skin Tone
There are multiple hues and shades to choose from when going the red route, so make sure to pick the lipstick that complements your complexion. Red lipsticks with blue undertones, like the YSL Beauty Rouge Volupté Shine in Rouge Studio, work best on cool skin tones, while orangey-reds, like the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Les Nu in Nu Irreverent, look best on warmer skin tones. For deeper and neutral-undertone complexions, try a gorgeous berry color like the NYX Professional Makeup Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick in It’s Hotter. Another favorite for almost every skin tone? The Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Innovator.
Keep Everything Else Simple
The key to pulling off the red lip look on your wedding day is keeping the rest of your makeup pretty neutral. Aim for pretty dewy skin, a natural eye look and light contouring to accentuate your facial features.
Make Sure It Stays Put
The last thing you want to deal with on your wedding day is smudged lipstick. To avoid fading and bleeding, prep and prime your lips, then make sure to line them with an invisible lip liner or one that matches the color of your lipstick.
Own It
A bright lip on your wedding day is a bold move, but as long as you exude confidence, you’ll rock the look.
