When it comes to drawing inspiration for our beauty inspiration mood boards, there is nothing quite like a celebrity wedding, and happily, there are a lot of great examples to select from. Over the course of our lives, we have witnessed a multitude of smoky eyes, bronzed and sculpted cheeks, and glossy lip moments that we have become obsessed with. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
Therefore, if you are presently in the process of preparing your big day or saving inspiration pictures for the future, and you are unsure whether you are leaning toward a classic elegance or a very sensual finish for your wedding day, we are trying to point you in the right way.
Because of this, we decided to inquire about the lipsticks that the celebrity makeup artists who are responsible for glamming up some of our favorite celebrities used on their A-list clientele for their weddings.
Discover the lovely wedding lipstick tones that famous brides typically choose for their big day in the following paragraphs.
Barely There Pink
The wedding of Meghan Markle to Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, in 2018 was the royal wedding that received the most attention during the course of the recent decade. Not only because of the great deal of excitement that preceded the monumental event, but also because of the immaculate fashion and beauty moments that followed. Her gentle makeup with the appropriate paired-down lip, the 16-foot veil, and the Givenchy bridal dress were all features of the ceremony.
We found that her barely-there pout, which enabled her inherent brilliance to shine through, was our favorite feature of her regal appearance. Daniel Martin, Dior’s close friend and makeup artist, made use of Dior Addict Lip Glow for the big day, according to Dior, who shared this information with InStyle. It is a color-reviving lip balm that alters its hue based on the pH of your skin, and it provided Meghan Markle with a gentle, dewy tinge of color on her big day.
Glossy Pout
A delicate pink lip was part of Hailey Bieber’s cosmetic look for her wedding day, which she wore without any makeup. Denika Bedrossian, a makeup artist, was quoted as saying to InStyle, “We kept her skin really light and allowed her natural glow to shine through. We also used a little bit of light contour to define her perfect bone structure and bronzy tones on the eyes.” “We left her lips really neutral, using a taupe-based nude to line them and a soft peachy lip gloss to add moisture and shine.”
In spite of the fact that Bedrossian was tight-lipped about the specific items that she used, we recommend using Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in conjunction with Gucci Long Lasting Bold Lip Liner in Nude in order to emulate Justin Bieber’s breathtaking smile.
As Natural as It Gets
Amal Clooney’s mesmerizing wedding makeup was flawlessly applied by none other than celebrity makeup artist and founder of her eponymous beauty brand: Charlotte Tilbury. To achieve Amal’s chic berry lips for her Lake Como vows, Tilbury tells InStyle that she used a layered technique, beginning with Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk, a swipe of Matte Revolution in Walk of No Shame, followed by M.I. KISS Lipstick over that. Her rosebud lips were “full of luscious, healthy-looking color,” Tilbury adds of the iconic wedding look.
Kourtney Kardashian
Kravis’ Portofino wedding was one to remember, with nonstop parties, vintage gowns, and famous guests. But it was Kourtney Kardashian’s gothic-glam beauty looks we especially loved, which were a bit bolder and more playful for the reality star. Her makeup artist, Leah Darcy, tells InStyle that the inspiration for her Italian ceremony was “soft contoured liner with a subtle hint of pink velvet finish for a fresh, feminine look.”
To recreate Kourt’s lip, she says to apply Make Up For Ever’s Artist Color Pencil in Anywhere Caffeine, followed by Hourglass Cosmetics Velvet Story Lip Cream in Touch, a pinky beige with a soft matte finish.
Light Gloss
Malika James, a celebrity makeup artist, mentions in an interview with InStyle that Gabrielle Union wanted her wedding makeup to look classic when she was thinking back on her wedding to Dwyane Wade in 2014. “My goal was to focus on how beautiful her skin is and highlight certain areas that the light would naturally hit,” she says in her interview.
Due to the fact that Union’s wedding took place on a hot day in Florida, James made sure to keep the lips minimal maintenance so that she wouldn’t have to worry about them in the future. “She was going to have a big kiss, so I applied La Mer The Lip Balm, MAC Lip Pencil in Cork, a little concealer in the center of the lips—MAC Pro Longwear Concealer NC45—and a light pink lip gloss—NARS Turkish Delight—on top.”
Jasmine Tookes
In addition, Darcy was the creative force behind the wedding attire that this Victoria’s Secret model is wearing. For the Tookes collection, Darcy created a seductive and matte appearance by channeling Naomi Campbell’s lip style from the 1990s. “I used Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in Limitless Brown, plus Pat McGrath Labs LiquiLUST Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick in Divine Nude,” according to her interview with InStyle.
Nicola Peltz
“Nicola’s lipstick for her wedding was somewhat in keeping with our ’90s supermodel references—think Claudia Schiffer—but we went a little peachier in the shade to allow for both color and black and white photos,” says Peltz’s makeup artist Kate Lee describing her star-studded wedding to Brooklyn Beckham. “We went a little peachier in the shade to allow for both color and black and white photos,” Lee says.
“The shade we chose together was a combination of a lip liner: Chanel Lip Liner in 156 Beige Naturel, and an ultra-hydrating lip color, Chanel Rouge Coco Flash in 116 Easy, applied straight from the bullet and padded with my finger.” After that, Lee used a paper to wipe her lips just once, and then she used a brush, such as the Les Pinceaux de Chanel Dual-Ended Lip Brush N°300, to apply one more layer of lip color. This was done to ensure that the color would be precise and long-lasting.
Sofia Vergara
The famous people are just like the rest of us! Taking into consideration that she exclusively utilized cosmetics from the pharmacy for her wedding day appearance, Sofia Vergara is a good example of this situation. It was the epitome of Sofia, a combination of seductiveness, audacity, and glitz. In an interview with InStyle, CoverGirl revealed that the actress from Modern Family wore the Outlast Longwear Lipstick in the hue “Sofia In Love.” Unfortunately, because this shade of dark crimson was designed specifically for the event, it is not available for purchase. It was made to order. Nevertheless, the colors Plumberry and Red Hot are very similar to one another.
Paris Hilton
We would not have expected anything other than over-the-top glam from Paris Hilton for a wedding event that lasted for three days, and that is exactly what she chose to do: she contoured her cheekbones, she wore huge lashes, and she wore metallic pink lipstick. On her blog, Hilton detailed the cosmetic process she followed on her wedding day, including the materials that her makeup artist, Steven Tabimba, included in her look. “The look was very classic,” Tabimba comments on the appearance. “And heavily inspired by Marilyn Monroe.”
He maintained a matte and velvety skin texture, and he channeled Monroe’s distinctive style by using eyes that were absolutely matte. However, he left the best for last: the lip style. “While too much gloss wouldn’t have worked for that first kiss, there’s still a touch of shine,” he explains further. Apply MAC Lip Liner in Spice to keep the color in place, and then finish it off with MAC Viva Glam II Lipstick for a satiny mauve finish. This will allow you to replicate her pretty-in-pink pout.
Josephine Skriver
The Victoria’s Secret model also called upon Darcy for her wedding to singer-songwriter Bohnes in Mexico in April 2022. Darcy tells InStyle the inspiration for Skriver’s bridal beauty was “glowed-up skin look with a plump, yet contoured lip.”
This happens to be one of our favorite looks for boho or beachy brides and to recreate it, you only need two products. First Darcy paired the Makeup By Mario Ultra Suede Sculpting Lip Pencil in Toasty around her lips and to fill them in, then she followed that up with Dior Addict Lip Maximizer in Rosewood for a volume-packed, brownish-pink pout that was equal parts sultry and romantic.
