Getting married means making thousands of little choices that will all collide to create one huge (and highly expensive) day. While it's highly expensive, it's also very scary and stressful and a lot of work.

Among those many decisions, will be choosing your makeup and how you want to look on the day.

Allow me to make the case for wearing bright red lipstick on the day finish off your look on the day.

There are many great reasons to go with it, and if you agree then that's one less big decision to make.


Why Red Lipstick for Your Wedding Day

And a lot of the time you are going to be a long way away from the camera and from the people watching, and what's important is that your expression is visible from the other end of the venue. By wearing red lipstick, everyone will be able to see you're smiling, and you will look beautiful and striking even from across the room. Even when people see you driving past in your wedding limo they will be able to see that you're happy.

At the same time, red lipstick also makes you look confident, it's sexy for your man, and it stands out. Rather than going for neutral colours like everyone else who gets married, red lipstick will make a statement and will turn heads. On your big day, why wear makeup that will blend into the background?
Finally, red lipstick is classic and it goes perfectly with a white dress. It makes your teeth look whiter and your skin look more porcelain - it's ideal for a wedding look.

Tips

To wear red lipstick on your wedding day though is still a bold move and you need to make sure that you get it right. Here are some tips to help you ensure you wear it well.
The first is to make sure that your lipstick is kiss-proof and that it's long lasting. You don't want it fading throughout the day, being left on glasses or being smeared all over your guy. Likewise you should also carry a tube in your bag to make sure you can top it up throughout the day as necessary.

Another tip is to make sure that you make your lips the focus of your makeup. If you are going to wear bold lipstick then you shouldn't also wear bold eyeshadow as the clash of colours can end up looking 'clownish'. Tone the rest of your makeup back, and choose a bold matte red to really turn your lips into a feature.
