Radiant Red

The classic red lip is ever popular with brides looking to channel a little old-school glamour – we adore the contrast of a slick of red lippy against a gorgeous white or ivory gown! There are many variations of red lippy and there’s one to suit every skin tone – if you have fair skin opt for the red-blue variety, orange red tones work best for olive skin tones while more burgundy tones flatter darker complexions.
