Sharply defined lips in bright colors were all the rage in the 1990s, but that was so last millennium. The new era has ushered in a much more delicate look. To go gossamer, Sonia Kashuk smoothes a bit of foundation on the edges of the lips before adding any color, which also prevents feathering around fine lines.
Going the distance: Cover Girl's Outlast Pearls All-Day Lipcolor Shimmer in Rose Pearl resists food oils without parching your pout, $9.50 (also includes a moisturizing top coat).
You may be wearing white, but stains can be a good thing t least when they're on your lips, where they sink into the skin and repel oil. (Take that, Caesar salad!) Keep in mind, however, that a stain isn't a rich look and can even cause lips to become dry; to sustain shine and moisture throughout your wedding day, you'll have to continually top it off with gloss.
The new math: It's protection cubed in the form of Est Lauder's Pure Color Lip Vinyl, with mineral waxes that form a barrier to help block color-busters, $20 each.
To set your color like the experts, line and fill in your lips with pencil. Brush on your lipstick and blot with tissue, then reapply. Matin, a makeup artist for Laura Mercier, likes to separate a tissue into two layers, then uses one layer as a lip screen, dusting translucent powder over it with a big brush.
Sustainable shine: Shu Uemura's Rouge 4 lipsticks deliver intense color and weightless texture while retaining moisture, $20 each.
It's not just a wedding t's an hours-long kiss-fest. And although you love the look of gloss, it may not be quite your father-in-law's style. To stop the shine from settling on your guests, apply a small dab of gloss in the center of your bottom lip. It's just enough coverage our lips' natural movement will distribute the gloss evenly ithout sticking it to your receiving line.
Matin warns brides to avoid wearing bright lip colors. "They smudge the most," he explains. "Some reds, for example, bleed a lot more than soft peaches and pinks. It's just the pigment formulation."
Pencil this into your schedule: Molton Brown Perfect Lips Stayfast Definer Lip Liner softly outlines while fighting feathering. Your bonus: a brush at the other end for blending, $18.
Have your wedding cake and eat it, too must make sure to touch up afterward. First, blot your lips with a tissue to remove any excess oils, then reapply your color. Rather than tissue off smears outside your lips,
