The Nude Bridal Lipstick Edit |UK Wedding Blog

Every woman needs an amazing nude lipstick in her makeup bag – an easy, go to, your-lips-but-better colour which works for day, evening and even for your wedding day. I’ve always loved a nude lip, and I have probably getting on for 100 nude lipsticks in my possession across both my pro kit and my personal makeup collection, so this could have been a very, very long post. But instead I decided to curate for you my most used – my old school favourites, some client favourites, some budget buys, some premium – my can’t-really-go-wrong colours for a variety of skin tones. I love all of those listed below – I’ve suggested skin tones I think they would work best for to achieve a natural looking nude tone, but of course this is only a guide – if you love the look of something then make sure you try it. I’ve discovered some great high street brands for lipsticks too, and it’s probably the only thing I’m not a makeup snob about!
