Wedding Wednesdays: Four of Our Favorite Lip Colors

Lipstick truly is the unsung hero of any bridal beauty routine. Why do we love lipstick so much? It's a win-win beauty situation: If you don't usually wear makeup, lipstick is a simple way to illuminate your face, accentuate your smile and feel instantly glam. If you're a lipstick lover, there are tons of colors, finishes and formulas out there to experiment with, meaning you'll never get bored. Basically, a tube of lipstick is never a bad investment—it's an easy (and inexpensive) way to upgrade your look and have a little fun in the process.

And, while this may come as a surprise, you don't have to shy away from bold lips on your wedding day. Here are our four favorite lip colors that will add to your bridal look!

Coral Pink

A more subtle pink with coral undertones won't feel over the top and will keep you from looking washed out in all of your wedding photos.

Splurge: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté lipstick in Peach Passion, $36
Save: Ulta Lipstick in Coral Sands, $8

Tangerine Dreams

A bold tangerine lip may be intimidating at first, but this juicy orange color is just as flattering as coral. Pair with warm blush (we love NARS Orgasm) for a refreshing glow.

Splurge: Lipstick Queen Jungle Queen lipstick in Pop-Papaya Coral, $24
Save: Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Carnival Shine, $9

Ultra Violet

Vivid purple is the perfect hue for beauty risk-takers. Apply more than one coat for a bold, opaque look, or keep it toned down with just a sheer wash of color.

Splurge: Too Faced Melted lipstick in Melted Violet, $21
Save: NYX Cosmetics Matte lipstick in Shocking Pink, $6

Classic Red

Red lips are a timeless, elegant statement—even on your wedding day. To give this classic hue a fresher feel, opt for an of-the-moment red-orange shade.

Splurge: Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Matte Red lipstick in Fire, $37
Save: Topshop Sheer lipstick in Red Alert, $12
