I haven't posted for a while and just need some opinions; my bride would like to wear a dark cool red lipstick, and I'm usually a fan of going lighter on the lips for brides to look pretty and youthful; of course i will go with what she's like and balance her eye makeup accordingly.

Just wondered what other mua opinions were about bridal lipstick and overall makeup look?

I have recently had a bride booked and she would love to have a red lip for her big day, its all down to personal pref. Definitely keep the eyes as natural as possible so the look doesn't come off as too harsh, you'll be surprised at how many brides want smokey eyes for their big day! but like i say its all personal preference maybe give her some of your ideas too x
 
I prefer a more glam bridal look to natural due to the ongoing trend I think brides like a bit more. X
 
If that's what she wants :) I specialise in vintage and pin up makeup... I tend to do more red than anything, lol x

It's not really about your preference, it's about the bride's. So if that's what she wants, make it awesome for her!

Also, I would definitely consider winged liner and a red lip if i was getting married.

Same here!
 
I have used red lipstick many times for brides and it looks fab, and as Salj says, it's not about what you think.

It's nice that brides are stepping outside of the box and having what they want instead of what they should. I do loads of bridal make-up and it gets a bit dull when they all want 'natural'. It's the same with nails, 'I'm getting married so can I have a french' I feel like throwing them out of the salon (but it's not about what I think either!)

Also, I've done loads of Chinese weddings and they always have red as it's a lucky colour for them.

I had red lipstick and liquid eyeliner on my wedding day, kind of Hollywood. Will try and post a pic. I love doing different bridal makeup.

I did a trial with her today and tried both looks; I must admit she looked stunning with red lipstick and I loved it on her ( she's a brunette). She asked me to do smokey eye and nude lips and liked it more than the red lips look lol! And then there was me saying the red lips look amazing! Anyway, I'm trying one more look on her over the weekend with full hair done as well, so she'll get a better idea. Thanks for your replies, it's great to get other opinions and suggestions x
