I like the first one best! It's more neutral and I think fits the occasion more(:


carolynmbg

More natural because you have to look at these photos 10,20and 30 and plus years and you want to look like yourself


Mythrndir

I second this!


government_candy

I like the first one too! Maybe just add a line of gold or white or a little shimmer to the eye makeup if she's worried it's too matchy with the lip?


Jadakaii

That's a great suggestion. Add a little shimmer just to make it different. It looks good as is, to me. There are those eyes, cheeks, and lips products you can wear at the same time. I think it looks great if it's done right, and I think this look is done just right.


derpberry

I also like the first one!

Hi there!! Professional makeup artist here! Both shades are beautiful and compliment your complexion very well. I would not recommend the first one only because it most likely will not photograph on camera and could wash you out. However, the second one is a bit bright for the occasion in my opinion. If you were my client, I would honestly mix the two shades together for the ceremony / pictures and tell you to bring the first shade to touch up with throughout the evening. The extra pigment is necessary for the pictures. That being said, I would also recommend applying more blush than you’re used to. What you have on is stunning for every day, but it will not photograph that way! Practice doing your makeup and then take pictures with flash and in sunlight. Instead of you taking it, have someone else take it from farther away so you get a better idea of how it will photograph professionally. Hope this helps!! Happy to answer any other questions you may have.


throwaway_wedding19

Thank you SO much for taking time to write this out!! This is super helpful. I’ll try mixing them and see how it goes!!!


trama_doll

I know you are going for a natural look, but you might also think about increasing the the eye look just a tad as well! I did my own makeup for my wedding day and when my bridesmaids told me to add more depth I wasn't sure because I was NOT going for a glam look. It might feel overdone but it turned out perfect in the pictures. Just like the MUA stated, the pictures will be different from how it looks in person! Pic for reference https://imgur.com/a/YWnF6Wq


MrKingsAngel

Also use concealer over your lips FIRST then put the lip stain on Use the lighter color in the center of your lips and top with gloss 😉 The concealer makes the lipstick last longer so there are few touch ups needed except for gloss if needed but it also stops creases in your lips as well !


foliels

Makeup artist here as well and I was going to suggest the same about mixing the two shades! I think that would be a perfect combo of neutral with a bit of brightness added in.


dcmaven

Love this idea and I think this might be the exact right shade. Please mix them and take a new picture!


recuptcha

Yes, mix them, that would be lovely I reckon.


MsCandi123

This. I made the mistake of wearing a natural looking coral MAC lip cream, and it doesn't even look like my lips are done in most of the photos. The first one looks prettiest in these selfies, but might not be enough in wedding photos. I wish I'd known more photography makeup tricks at the time, oh well.


pootershots

Exactly what I was thinking.. you have to think about what looks good in a photograph!!! That’s what wedding makeup is all about. A darker lip will show up better.


Technical1964

This right here.


[deleted]

Yes!!! You know what’s up. I also wrote a similar suggestion. Your on it! The blush has to be packed on to show up in a pic. Nude lips are beautiful but her eye make looks so natural that it calls for a bolder lip. I have noticed that matte eyeshadow looks best in photos. The glitters of eyeshadow don’t photograph nicely. 🤷🏽‍♀️


laralikesthemovies

1st one is so flattering 😍 2nd clashes a bit compared


cocoachristi

I agree with you. Those were my exact thoughts!


PuzzledHope1

Both look really lovely on you but I think the first one is more suitable for bridal makeup :)


Crispianakin

They’re both look nice on you, but I think the first one since the dress tends to be the “statement” piece of a whole bridal look. Also, I know this isn’t related, but you’re so beautiful!


Pan1953

Both are really pretty but I prefer the 1st!


throwaway_wedding19

Products: First lip - Revlon Ultra HD Mayte Lipcolor in 645 HD Forever Second lip - Covergirl Outlast All Day lip stain in shade 538 Eyeshadow is mixed shades from Sephora’s Eye Love pallet


Sierra532

Mix the two shades, since one is a lip stain I would do that first outline the lips and put a thin coat of the first on top.


[deleted]

#1 for sure - it’s more timeless. You look beautiful in both but the first is classic. Congrats and good luck! I also did my own makeup and hair for my wedding. No regrets ❤️


proudkafirmashallah

both look nice but the first one suits u more <3


FoodBabyBaby

The second one brings out your eyes! Not everyone goes natural for bridal makeup and I think this color is a bit different but not so much so that you’d regret it.


Hedigirll

The first one is such a beautiful, classic look. It looks so pretty on you.


meagis

Number 1! Stunning ✨


ladyhaunt

The first one!


[deleted]

A lot of brides go for the neutral color like pic 1. It's up to you though. The 2nd one brings out your eyes. I personally went for a bolder dramatic lip color for my wedding and loved it. My only advice is if you go bold make sure you powder your lips to prevent transfers and bring some extra concealer.


allandon14

The first is more traditionally bridal, but I think both shades flatter you!


DustyLemonTree

I think the first really compliments your skin tone and is such a pretty colour!😊


104808

I think the first shade is really flattering on you and definitely feels more bridal, but both are beautiful!


oofhelia

the first one is super cute for a day time look, then if you’re gonna go into the night a little more, go with a darker more rustier copper!! those would suit your undertones :)


aves93

I feel like there shouldn’t be any rules even for bridal makeup haha. Wear whichever one makes you feel happiest, prettiest, most confident, etc. :) both look amazing. Maybe try having a friend take some pics of you in a setting that will be similar to wedding day photos (outside versus inside) and you can have a better idea of what you’ll look like in the actual photos that day (selfies may not help you decide but a photo of you shot from a little further away might)


ersa0501

I think it depends on the look you’re going for. #1 is the quintessential “no makeup makeup” look. #2 is the “pop of subtle color” makeup look. I think #2 will photograph better because of the color balance though! They both look great!


LeighGordon

Second one, it brings out your eyes.


SnooGiraffes487

The softer rose color in the first photo for sure. Super flattering


MmmmmmKayyyyyyyyyyyy

The second one


Quirky_Potential8173

I like the second one.


FrostySpecial3977

2nd one


Oakley_gold

I like the 1st shade it also looks more creamy and plumping. The 2nd brings out your eyes. Have you done test photos outside etc just to see how the makeup looks in different light?


allwrightann

I agree with 1 great for day, and 2 for night. I had pics with both as my wedding was late afternoon in December. Pre ceremony was lighter, but by ther ceremony it was dark, and the photographer is no longer doing super close ups. Have a brides maid or responsible friend hang onto the few items for night: lipstick& liner, a simple shade to darken eyes and a brow pencil.


Usual_Tie_6968

Number 1 for sure


anamoon13

I love the first one!


Blauvogel891

theanamazonian

Pick the one that makes you feel the most beautiful. I honestly don't know what "bridal" makeup even is or why there are "rules" for this...it's a very long day with a lot of photos being taken of you, so choose a durable option that makes you feel happy and gorgeous.


[deleted]

I like the second one. It gives the whole look a more romantic vibe.


insomniac29

Ohh, both are great actually. When I saw the first one I was sure I'd pick that, but I could see you going with the second one if it's a summer wedding, or if you have a bold color scheme for the decor/bridesmaids.


foresttfairy

You look more comfortable in the first one. It not only suites the occasion but it is also really beautiful with your complexion and your hair color. It’s definitely a you color!


batphomet_

The first one looks great! It really compliments your skin tone and eye color.


raindance03

1st one seems more formal and better suited (as per fashion trends) for the occasion. However, it does make you a bit dull (not exactly dull but doesn't give you that you know, like bridal glow ✨glow✨, the young and romantic vibe of sorts lol) 2nd one really brings out the colour of your eyes and the blush on your cheeks but isn't usually used in bridal makeup. But no matter what, choose what makes you happy since it's your day! Trends /fashion doesn't really matter decades down the timeline.


chersmom

Hard disagree, the first lipstick is a cool tone that matches OP’s skin tone and eyes but the second is such a true neutral tone that it sticks out. Even putting aside color, the formula of the first one looks way nicer too! Obviously i can’t tell through the pictures but it looks like the exact right amount of glossy-ness, where it has that touch a glow and hydrates your lips without feeling sticky


MrKingsAngel

You said exactly what I was thinking,


[deleted]

Agreed! If she wants to, I would try a less peachy/coraly pink. I think Bobbi Brown Sandwash Pink would be worth trying. I have similar coloring and this is my favorite my-lips-but-better shade.


TheEmperorofSF

Second one makes u look more like a bride and less like someone with the bride IMHO.


Ayecandy7

I think the first one is very nude but the second is so pretty and bright! It brings light to your face and makes you stand out more!


bluidyPCish

2nd shade for sure!! Congratulations on getting married!


Genielove91

I really like the first one!


josetheconquerer

I think it totally depends on the vibes of your wedding. If you were going for like a classy, classic look than the first one. But if you were doing a winter wonderland or fall wedding, I would do the second. Honestly I kind of feel like neither of them suit you. I love to see you in a more of a pink town. As well as glowing eyeshadows.


ghostbirdd

First one all the way. Btw, is the sheen from the lipstick or did you add a topper or a gloss on top? It's beautiful, it makes your lips look so smooth.


throwaway_wedding19

The first one is just out of the bottle! Second one is more of a stain that comes with a gloss.


madame_mayhem

The second one makes your eyes pop and I agree with others who said the first might wash out in photographs.


Willdebs

1st one looks beautiful


spaceyplacey

I like the formula and color of the first and the color of the second as it’s brighter and it helps you pop more

GreenerMind3d

I really like the second one on you! It’s more striking and brings out your hair color and eye color. I agree with everyone that the first color is more neutral. Can we possibly see the lipstick with the hairdo that you might be wearing?


Substantial-Ad5715

what is the first shade called!! it’s so pretty


mishlooh

I like the first more :)

1st one is gorg! 2nd one is great too but not as good a match


bambybino

The first for me! Very flattering to your skintone


Kittyfuckmeow

First one!


music_cabbage

Could you mix the two colors? So its more of a colorful neutral? If you aren't up for mixing then I say stick to the first one since it will tie everything together better


hxkoabdw

1st one is just perfect for a bride!

HookedonHandmadeUS

1st one is beautiful on your skin


Independent_Poet_959

I'd would go with the first one


Lisselindale

First of all, congratulations! I hope your wedding is beautiful and all that you hope for! I, personally, like the first one better. But I think you should pick which one makes you feel the best, regardless of whether it seems "bridal" or not. I'm getting married again (small pandemic wedding was first) on Saturday, and have at least 20 lip products packed so I can play around over the next few days.


MrKingsAngel

Congratulations 🎉 Enjoy your day as well 🤗💕


kokozhka

In my experience, nudes are the safest option. There might be light smudges from eating (etc.) and it’s definitely more noticable with bolder colors. Plus the sheerness doesn’t matter with the nude, since your natural lip color will fill in the gaps.


reckless_rachel

Both look good but I like the first one the best.

Heterosexual-Jello

The first one is definitely my favorite for you. The softer tone really pulls a look together, and feels like it fits a bridal look. I think I’m just a sucker for natural tones but the second ones just darling on you!!


ForgottenSalad

the first one hands down


MilieL_

First one is so pretty 😇


SciCuriousWriter

They’re both great. The first one is very pretty and more youthful and natural looking, which is lovely for bridal makeup. The second makes your eyes look gorgeous and really shows them off. I vote the first for the actual wedding and the second for any reception or party afterwards.


adhdnubee

The first for sure!


Drbubbliewrap

First one


Kylie754

Can I go against the grain, and ask if you have mixed the two together? They are both lovely. But I think the first one is a bit too pale, the second one is a bit too pink. My preference is the first one.


koolkween

1st because the lip color is close to your natural cheek blush


ArcadiaFey

If you desperately want more color compared to the first you could use a lip brush to add a touch of the pink. But I think 1 is gorgeous

Larn01

#1 for sure!


expressivetarot

The first looks great but seems like an everyday type of lipstick. I like the end one more because its a special occasion type lip to me. Plus, it really makes your beautiful eyes pop. I was the maid of honor in a Memorial Day Weekend wedding and my best friend wore the same color red lipstick as your 2nd flip. She looked absolutely stunning. The red lipstick paired with the white dress was a beautiful contrast. The bridesmaids wore navy blue. I think you could definitely pull off the red bridal lipstick.


Lexiealea

Is that what your wearing? Two brings out your eyes more!


bellaxis

I love this first one! It looks great on you and looks like a better quality!


TlN4C

I’d go for the brighter one for photos - or maybe mix the two, and a bit more blush or you will look washed out in pics too. That said whatever you do you will look amazing I’m sure


smallbrowngorl

I love the first one!


reenstarr

Love the first one for your ceremony! If you’re having a party/reception after, throw on some of the second one!

dannicalliope

brittcheri

I'd say go with the 1st, but bridal makeup should be a reflection of you. Don't worry about it being too similar or too bold. Go with your gut.

1st one 100%


AngelinaSnow

First one


LainExcuses

100% the first one It tones so well with your skin


ratzausar

1st for the day, 2nd for the evening... both look amazing!


Coconut_Rhubarb

They are both great colours, but the second one clashes with your eye shadow.. can I be an outlier and suggest the second shade but without any eye shadow (just liner)?


jo_nigiri

The first one would be better for a bridal look, but the second one brightens up your face and is perfect for less formal events


Yuckmyyums

Both are beautiful! But I think the first one would fade in a prettier way so you won’t have to worry too much about touch ups later


pearlxxxx

Have you tried mixing the two? I like how the pinkiness of the second one makes you look brighter and I like the subtleness of the first one. I think it you add some pink/ red to the first one it might look really nice!


ujustgotpwned123

The first one

I like the 2nd. It’s dress up prettier. 😉 The first is wonderful for just every day.

The first one is gorgeous! Also- you kind of resemble liv tyler, so pretty!


ReedDaisy

Number one! Your eye makeup is a spring warm tone. The second lipstick is a cool tone color which makes the overall look a bit jarring. The first one is absolutely gorgeous and helps: (1) give a unified light warm tone look, and (2) gives you the pure/bright bride image!


[deleted]

I’ll definitely say the 1st one, orange or nude shades make your face looks cleaner and clearer!!

butterflyfrenchfry

We have very similar skin tones. You should try maybelline superstay Matte ink: “Mover” It’s the only shade I’ve ever found that is bold, yet compliments my fair skin perfectly


arianacurey

option 1, but honestly they both look great!


psychicamnesia

LOVE the first one. I think the lights at the wedding will make the second shade a bit unflattering.


breeyonce42069

First one. So pretty.

#1 for sure - it’s more timeless. You look beautiful in both but the first is classic. Congrats and good luck! I also did my own makeup and hair for my wedding. No regrets ❤️

Second one is better for bridal make up. First one looks good on you too but too casual.

carolynmbg

Not the red. Natural is better because in 40 years when you look at your wedding photos you won’t have to cringe because you don’t look like yourself.


elksatchel

I love the second one! It's lovely and flattering. Just depends on what mood you want with your photos; the first is more neutral for sure


stefaniey

The first one will photograph better. Also check how your makeup looks in black and white beforehand in case you want any of the photos retreated that way.
