LIPSTICK FOR THE BRIDE: HOW TO CHOOSE IT

Now that the make-up world offers myriad possibilities in choosing the perfect bridal lipstick , finding the most suitable one that makes you feel like real princesses could be more complex than expected! Better matt or satin, liquid or stick? Nude or colored? To orient yourself in the mare magnum of bridal wedding lipstick , always keep these three elements in mind when you search:

tone and undertone of skin , eye and hair color ;

chosen wedding dress and wedding mood;

bridal makeup that you will show off.

Brides who have opted for a bright and natural make-up and for a simpler style will be able to move in the galaxy of nude lipsticks , with pink undertones for colder skins or peach or rosewood for the warmer ones. Brides with amber skins and coppery, brown or golden reflections hair can enhance these characteristics by choosing warm lipsticks , such as a coral or orange bridal lipstick. The ideal brunette bridal lipstick has nude shades or dark colors like burgundy, purple and brown. Bold colors like red and bright pink are perfect in combination withnude eye make-up or with very minimal black eyeliner , for those who follow the philosophy of 'if you put on your lips, don't make up your eyes'. The style of the dress and hairstyle are equally important in the choice of lipstick, which can be satin or even lacquered, if you want to create an additional light point , or opaque for a more velvety and full effect .

ROSSETTI BRIDE: CHOOSE THE TEXTURE

Regarding the texture , we recommend that you also choose on the basis of your ability to make up, if you have decided not to rely on a professional. If you are a lipstick-addict used to wearing it and retouching it at any time you can also use the most opaque liquid lipsticks , if instead you do not feel very safe and precise yet, opt for a stick and evaluate brighter finishes , which will help you camouflage any inaccuracies! What matters most in choosing the lipstick for the wedding is that it is harmonious and consistent with the rest of the makeup and with the style that will distinguish the big day.

HOW TO APPLY THE BRIDE LIPSTICK: TIPS

Lip makeup requires precision and a steady hand . If you do not plan to rely on a make-up artist, carry out tests in view of the big day, in order to get the perfect result and to evaluate the resistance of the chosen product. To apply each lipstick at its best and show off flawless lips, however, it is necessary to follow some fundamental steps :

make a delicate scrub to eliminate skin and roughness and obtain smooth and smooth lips. You can choose them in sticks, tubes or in practical pots , apply them with your fingers and gently rub your lips, eliminating residues. If you want a volumizing effect, choose products that contain peppermint , if instead you want to create your home made scrub, mix very little sugar and a veil of honey , to exfoliate and soften at the same time;

apply a clear primer so that the lipstick 'clings'. To prevent lips from drying out, choose moisturizing products . We do not recommend using cocoa butter as a base: its greasy formula would migrate the lipstick, preventing it from adhering to your lips;

if you want to neutralize the natural color of your lips, outline the contour with a corrective pencil and then blend with your fingers. Alternatively, apply and blend a very thin layer of concealer ;

draw the lip contour with a pencil, so as to create a sort of barrier and minimize the risk of smudging . Choose it in the same shade as the lipstick or transparent , with a not excessively soft lead in order to obtain a more precise line;

apply the lipstick starting from the center of the upper lip outwards and from the corners to the center of the lower lip. If you have chosen a liquid one , use the supplied applicator , after having drained it from the excess product, or a contoured lip brush for greater precision. If, on the other hand, you have chosen a stick , you can apply it directly for a more saturated result, with a brush for intermediate coverage or after having heated it with your fingertips , for a more natural and nuanced effect;

dab with a tissue to remove excess product.

GLOSS: YES OR NO?

The gloss issue always generates heated debates between lovers of its luminous and crystalline effect and those who, on the other hand, are unable to love it completely. It does not seem right to give you a peremptory answer, since it all depends on the makeup you wear for your wedding and your personal taste . However, we want to give you some tips to help you make the right decision for you and to find the perfect product for your needs:

if you have a nude bridal makeup and you want your lips to follow this style too, choose a lip gloss that enhances the natural shade or that gives a slight touch of color , always taking into account your complexion and undertone, but also of hair and eyes ;

prefer light and flowing textures , which are not greasy to the touch. Nothing is more annoying than the feeling of sticky lips, during the ritual photos, kisses and the cutting of the cake;

if you do not like the glossy style and do not tolerate the coverage of a lipstick, the right compromise can be a lip gloss with a shimmer or slightly metallic finish , for bright lips without a mirror effect;

consider the lip oil option : its formula is rich in nourishing and moisturizing ingredients for long, luminous and natural finish soft lips;

if you wear a matte lipstick , you can create a light point with the transparent gloss in the center of the lips, for an optically volumizing and plumpy effect. Apply it by tapping it, without rubbing.

TIPS FOR LONG-LASTING THE LIPSTICK

A feature that unites the 10 best wedding lipsticks we have selected is their very long wear . Resistant to lunches, aperitifs and dinners, but also to greetings, kisses and long days of work, lipsticks must give even more during the wedding ! To help bring out the best in any long-wearing bridal lipstick that makes bridal lip makeup and every photograph unforgettable, here's what we can do:

always prepare the lips with a delicate scrub , in order to eliminate cuticles and dry areas that would compromise the adherence of the lipstick and, once colored, would be even more evident;

apply a primer to improve the hold of the lipstick. Choose it perfectly moisturizing for greater comfort and volumizing for fuller and smoother lips;

Outline the lips with a transparent pencil or the same color as the lipstick to avoid any smudging;

to further enhance the hold of the lipstick, use the pencil to fill in the lips . In this way, you will have an additional base on which the lipstick, naturally of the same color, can take hold;

after applying the lipstick, dab it with a tissue to remove the excess;

dust your lips with a very light coat of powder to fix everything. Be careful to choose the right product: avoid those containing silica if you are not an expert in make-up, since an excess of product or a lack of nuance would create a terrible flashback effect in the photos, and choose shades that adapt to your complexion, to avoid graying or bleaching the lipstick color with too light shades.

keep a product in your kit that allows you to make touch-ups quickly and easily , such as a moisturizing lip balm to soften or a gloss or lip oil to immediately illuminate your makeup. Of course, always keep a lip brush and your bridal lipstick with you, to touch up the color if you plan to dance after a full day of celebration!
