Kissable Lips For Your Big Day
Lipstick is the finishing touch for any bridal makeup application, it pulls the whole look together and adds depth to your face. Unfortunately, it is also the one key makeup item that never stays put! Talking, eating, greeting guests...all of these things tend to make a lipstick disappear before the first dance! In light of this, we've got some great tips for all of you "do-it yourself" brides to keep your lipstick (and sanity) in place!
Lip Preparation
Always make sure to keep your lips as smooth and kissable as possible. A great insider tip is to use a dry toothbrush to exfoliate the lip area. After, apply a hydrating lip balm for a soft and smooth pout.

Lip Liner
To define your lips and keep your lipstick on all day, apply a lip liner prior to your lipstick. If you're going for a natural lip, purchase a liner in a color as close to your natural lip color as possible. This prevents harsh lines and makes lipstick blending a breeze.

For you daring diva's who love dark lips, purchase a clear lip liner. Apply this liner right above your natural lip line to make your lips pop and also to prevent any messy bleeding.

Lip Gloss
Gloss is a great way to accentuate your lips and add that sexy shine. Not only is it easy for those emergency touch ups when there is no mirror handy, it also reflects light making lips appear bigger than they actually are!
