We polled local makeup artists Gabby Rosenberg, Michael Thomas, Rocio Vielma, Lisa Williams, and Al Tidwell for the lipstick shades they keep in their wedding-day beauty kits. Check the gallery for the results, and before you go applying those hues, take note of the tips they dropped below.
Rule 1
“It is important in the use of any lip brand to prep accordingly for a long-lasting effect. Moisturize, apply foundation or concealer, then apply lip liner followed by lip color, preferably with a lip brush.” —Vielma
Rule 2
“Choose a foundation that offers coverage but has a natural finish. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation offers an excellent range of 30 shades for every skin tone.” —Thomas
Rule 3
“Instead of matte or glossy, go with a beautiful cream like Audacious lipsticks from Nars.” —Rosenberg
