Thoughts on Red Lips

In my opinion, nothing makes a bride in stark white stand out more than cherry stained lips. I mean, look how stunning she looks!
Although, I hate when people talk about makeup as though they are trends that come and go, because it creates the false pretense that just about anything can be pulled off by everyone. (Even if purple blush became a trend for 2020, there’s no way I would be wearing that!!!)
Red lips do not look as great on ladies with dark or olive skin tones (like myself). Rather, the look is best for women with fair skin or those who are looking for a more ‘vintage’ look. This can be best described in the picture above where the birdcage veil, defined eyes, and dark hair complement the bold lips perfectly.

Here’s what gown designer Melissa Sweet said about her makeup inspiration for her spring catwalk collection:
“Color is always our inspiration when we start designing a collection, and the makeup is the finishing touch. This season we were inspired by an old-Hollywood glamour feeling, so we thought a bold red lip paired with soft straight hair would feel pretty and modern. A strong lip color complements a bride’s vibrant and healthy glow—and looks amazing in photographs.”

So, while I have to admit red lips are bold, sexy and glamorous, I think it should only be worn on your wedding day if it complements your skintone and features. Likewise, a bride has to have the tenacity to reapply her lipstick throughout the night to keep herself looking her best!
