Lipstick to go with my bridesmaid dress

[ctopanga]

Hi everyone! I'm in a wedding in August and would like a lipstick that matches my dress - or at least goes with it. I've been searching for a good wine/burgundy lipstick and almost bought NARS Audacious in Charlotte but thought it was too dark. I have Bite Beauty's high pigment lip pencil in Meritage and love how it's a "softer" red - I'd like a wine lipstick that's that type of color. Any suggestions??

For reference, I've attached a pic of the dress below. I also have blonde hair and light/medium skin. Thank you all so much!!

Hi @ctopanga,

Burberry's Burberry Kisses Lipstick or Lip Velvet Lipstick in Oxblood would be perfect! I have this shade and it is gorgeous. 

Kat Von D's Studded Kiss Lipstick in the shade Vampira would also look great! 

I hope this helps! 

Best Wishes,

Janean

Ooh Oxblood is one of my faves! Great recommendation.

@ctopanga for the Burberry lipsticks the colour is similar, but the formula is different depending on the line. Lip Velvets are creamier, more matte, and fuller coverage. Burberry Kisses are lighter, but buildable, with a satin finish. Depends on your preference.

Thank you both!! This is super helpful. I've never tried Burberry's lipsticks but they are beautiful!

Have you tried any of the YSL Vinyl Cream Lip Stains? @ctopanga

It has a smooth gel like finish that is also slightly creamy. It lasts for hours and I don't ever use a lip liner when I wear it because it doesn't bleed. Based on the color of the dress I'd recommend checking out shade 409 in Burgundy Vibes.

I second that, one of my favourites and the color doesn't really budge

While it isn't a lipstick it does last a long time.

I think L'oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss in Forbidden Kiss would look good with your dress and complexion/hair.

or Night Crimson from Charlotte Tilbury

I was thinking Lollita II.. which happens to be in a promo right now "Unboring"

Long wear, matt finish to match the dress... win-win.
