It’s said that the Cupid’s bow is a facial feature where the double curve of a human upper lip is said to resemble the bow of Cupid. Sounds romantic and perhaps just the thing for your wedding day.  If your goal is to focus on your lips here are tips for your lips!

Red is the hot shade for lips this season, but reds are tricky. Skin tone has to be considered and reds must be tested before the big day.

Fair skin tones are best suited to a red with blue or brown undertones

 Medium to dark skin tones work best with deeper reds with a tinge of brown or tawny tones.

Dark skin tones work best with dramatic pinkish reds like fuchsia or reds with an orange base.

One more thing to consider – if your teeth are not brilliant white you can still wear red! Look for a red shade with blue undertones. Reds with a yellow or orange base will make teeth appear discolored.

Lips liners are still an essential tool but to keep the look current use a neutral shade prior to applying lipstick. Keep in mind that matte lips tend to overpower your face; high gloss can cheapen your look and light shimmer is the right touch!
