How do I choose a lip shade that works for me?
When choosing your perfect lipstick shade, you first need to determine if your skin is a warm, cool, or neutral undertone. You can typically determine this by looking at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If your veins are blue, you are likely cool-toned, so look for pinks, plums, or blue-based red shades. If your veins appear more green you likely learn more warm or neutral, so peach and roses tones will look amazing on you.
Figuring out what lipsticks work for you can be hard to do on your own! you need more help, you can inquire with your local make-up store associate or you can ask your wedding make-up artist to help you find your perfect shade!
1. Classic Red Lip
You can never go wrong with classic red lipstick! A ruby red shade is extremely bold so long-wearing and precise application to avoid bleeding is a must!

2. Minimalist Peachy Nude Lipstick
You can never go wrong with a classic nude. Perfect for those wanting something more simplistic and neutral. Even if lipstick isn’t your thing adding a soft shade, like this peachy nude shade seen on the bride above, can add the perfect touch of color to the face.
3. Bold Plum or Berry Lipstick
Fall and winter brides or just those going for a moodier look, dark lip color is essential. When looking for deep color, look for a lip product that has intense color pay-off and long-lasting wear. It also greatly compliments a wedding with traditional or look with plenty of jewel-tones in a tradition
4. Soft Feminine Pink Lip
For our romantic spring brides, a soft pink shade is a must-have on your wedding day! You can go with a more sheer shade for a softer look or go full coverage with a color like Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk for a glam look. If you are looking to go bold in the pink area though, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of hot pink along to be a bit daring!
