FAQs

Which lipstick is best for a wedding?

It’s best to check your undertone and pick a colour that flatters you the most. If your veins are blue, you’re generally cool-tones, so you should try pinks, plums, or blue-based reds. If they’re green, you are more warm or neutral, so peach and rose tones will look great on you. 

How do you apply lipstick to a wedding?

Use a lip liner to define the lips and fill the lips with the same lip liner. Then go on with the similar hued lipstick. Blot off with a tissue paper. Re-apply the same lip colour and blot again and repeat the lipstick application for the third time.

Should I wear red lipstick at my wedding?

Red lips make all the brides stand out in any event especially when they choose to wear outfits in colours like beige, royal blue, reds, etc.
