  • Clarins Jolie Rouge – Lilac Rouge €21.70

The Jolie Rouge range have made me re-think the Clarins makeup range as I find that Clarins is sometimes forgotten or thought of as a more mature range. But this colour provides a stunning neutral lip colour tone, perfect for all brides. The lilac rouge, in particular, has a really nice blue tone running through it, which always make's our Irish skin tone look a lot more flawless. Blue neutralises red tones so if you have a tendency to get flushed or have a pink toned skin type this lipstick will help adjust that. The other positive attribute about blue-toned lip colours is that they make your teeth look pearly white. Perfect for you to be camera ready and picture perfect all day long.

  • Tom Ford Indian Rose €45

Possibly the only time I would even think about spending €45 on a lipstick is for a wedding. But I have to say that Tom Ford have an outstanding quality in makeup products and so I reckon it's worth it. After my recent indulgence in their eye shadow pallet, which I can justify because eyeshadow is one of those items that last forever, I was extremely pleasantly surprised of the brand I seemed to have over looked. Which naturally provoked me into looking into more of their products and the rest is history.

This lipstick includes soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil to soothe and help lasting power. Balancing its treated colour pigments with just the right colour payoff and luminosity, the tone again is a blue one which I am quite the fan of.

Did you opt for a neutral on your big day? Which lippie did you wear?
