Wedding Season 101: Get The Perfect Lip Color For Your Dress

Hello darling! It’s a Monday and I didn’t have to wake up for class! Yassss! Being done with school and work for a few weeks will honestly be the best thing ever!

I don’t know if anyone has noticed but wedding season is approaching and it is approaching FAST! I went to my first wedding of the season yesterday in St. Paul. My cousin got married and she did this super awesome riverboat cruise on the Mississippi River. Random side note; they also served brunch food so obviously it won my heart. Sometimes when you live in a small town, the wedding scene can get a little… repetitive. So, it was super cool to switch it up a bit and go somewhere different.

I love weddings! I love everything about them. I love getting dressed up, I love the family time, I love to celebrate love because I think it is fabulous. I just love love in general. My friends reading are probably hearing my voice go “I JUST LOVE LOVE!” because I always say that. 

There is no denying that I like to get dressed up. If I can wear heels and a dress then I am fricken in! The only part that sucks is trying to make your whole look like flow together. Us girls have to worry about the hair, the makeup, the shoes, the dress, the nails, everything!

The biggest struggle I always have is trying to pick out my lip color.

 I always want to try something fun and new and I feel like my lips are always a good place to start. However, I don’t always want to spend a ton on a lip color that I don’t plan on wearing a lot. I know that I am not the only one who has that problem so, I figured I would help ya’ll out and give ya some hints at the lip product life for wedding season… and they all come from the drugstore. So, yay for life!


Let’s start with my favorite color ever, yellow. I feel like some people are always nervous to wear yellow and I don't know why! I think yellow is so pretty on people! The lip colors that I think are the most flattering with yellow dresses are those mauvey rose Kylie Jenner lip colors or like a winey berry color. Lipsticks such as Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rum Raisin, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rose Velvet, Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Lipstick No. 014, or Maybelline Touch of Spice are awesome options for a more mauvey look. Maybelline Plum Paradise might be the best plum color from Target in my opinion.

Blue is always a color that people love to wear. There are so many different shades of blue which kind of throws life for a loop but it’s all good in the hood because that means that blue will be flattering on anyone! I personally think that red and coral shades are super gorgeous with a blue dress. Shades such as Maybelline Very Cherry or Revlon Rich Girl Glam orrrrr Maybelline Siren in Scarlet (the best) are awesome options for a red lipstick. Or you can always go for a fun coral shade like Revlon Coral Berry, L’Oreal Colour Riche in Caring Coral, Maybelline Color Sensational in Peach Poppy, or Maybelline Color Whisper in Coral Ambition.

Everyone loves purple. Purple is a bit of a tough color because it is typically cooler in tone so you usually have to play it safe and go with a nude. Awesome nude options include Revlon in Prim Rose, Wet n Wild Megalast Lipcolor in Bare It All, L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick in Jennifer’s Nude (I have used four things of this color).

I love love love to wear the color orange... except for when I had bright red hair. It is just such a fun color! I typically go for a pink or a nude lip when I am wearing orange. I go for shades like Revlon Wink for Pink, Rimmel London in Pink Star, Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color in Don’t Blink Pink.

I love white but I am one of those girls where I don’t think you should wear white to a wedding because I think the bride should be the one living the white life. But, I think that white calls for a super fun lip color like a bright as hell magenta or fuchsia. I love Maybelline Color Sensational Matte in the shade Mesmerizing Magenta, L’Oreal Colour Riche in Magenta, or Maybelline Color Sensational Rebel Bloom in Hibiscus Pop.

Who doesn’t want to wear a super hot red dress? Red is a color that will always scream sexy to me. I always go with true nudes for when I am wearing red because red is red. Red speaks for itself.  Some of my favorite nudes are Maybelline Nude Lust, and Maybelline Truffle Tease. I am keeping my mouth closed about the others because I need to write a blog!

Pink is a color wear you can play with a bit! You can wear a pink lipstick, a peachy pink, or a nude. You can kind of mess around with the hue of it which is fun! You can wear colors like Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Smoked Peach or Maybelline Color Whisper in Bare to be Bold.

Black… Wear what ever color your pretty little heart desires.

Lipstick option city! Holy balls, I gave you like 20 options! Like I said, you can totally mix and match. It is totally up to you! Yellow would look good with a super bright pink and white would look super good with red. It just depends what look you are going for and what you accessorize with! I just wanted to toss some ideas out there because it can be fricken overwhelming!

Lipsticks are just always such a fun way to mix up life a bit. I didn’t mention nudes too much because I have a favorite nude lipstick blog coming up.


 I am so philosophical... I know.

Have a great day!

Xoxo,

Clarissa
