Bridal Beauty Series: Your Best Lip Colour


     Looking for the perfect pop of pink, crushed cherry or scarlet lipstick for your big day? Finding the right lip color can be tricky- you want something that is unique but flattering and doesn’t clash with your dress. All these factors are important. You can even play upon the dress color of your bridal party, matching your lips to for an extra bit of fun and whimsy to your pictures. An important factor in making your bridal beauty decisions is considering your skin tone. Opting for a lip color that is complimentary and perks up your complexion is always a plus. Below is a chart for corresponding skin tone and lip color choices.

Treat it as a guideline- and remember, if you wear a medium-heavy coverage foundation on you wedding day, your lipstick should correspond to your “new” skin tone. Foundation typically neutralizes a lot of the red pigmentation we naturally have in our skin. So, try out different colors with your base on.
