Red Lipstick would you wear it on your big day?

I am a lover of brides wearing a bold lip on their big day,  it looks divine and personally think it is a look that many brides should consider here are my reasons that I love it:

* Its a great statement look and creates a little bit of drama, however only opt for it if you wear bold lips normally, because your other half is expecting to see you and if you don't normally wear red then don't do it.

* Against the white/ivory dress it stands out even more.

* Its a nod to old school glamour and who doesn't love pure glamour and red/bold lips are the ultimate in Hollywood beauty.

* Its very modern yet a timeless elegance so looking back on your pictures in 20-30-40 years time it will remain classic.

Here are some red lipsticks I use and love in my kit:

MAC Russian Red - Its an absolute classic red and really looks perfect as it has a slight blue tone so it makes the teeth look whiter.

Lime Crime Red Velvet - this is a Matte Lipstick in a rich, deep crimson red, the great thing about Matte lips is that it is long wearing and this lip product lasts up to 8 hours, so a great option for brides.

MUA LUXE Velvet - Come is variety of colours and each are very bold.  They are matte so again very long lasting and less than £5, what is not to love about this brand, the quality is phenomenal and so well priced.

Chanel Rouge Allure - Two colours Coromondel and Pirate, this is a classic lipstick and so old school Hollywood one is a blue red and the other is a claret tone,  Both Classic and both gorgeous.  Doesn't come cheap but worth every penny.

Love Honour and be True  in Love Story - I love this little brand all the lipsticks developed with the bride in mind so the colours are fitting for a wedding day but each one is unique and long wearing and by using this brand I am supporting a small British brand.  The Love Story colour is a red but its a subtle red, again with a nice blue undertone that makes the teeth appear whiter.  I stock this brand at £12 a lipstick.

Makeup is about having fun and playing with what works for you, but this blog is full of photos of past brides who did the bold lip, so see for yourself.
