Nude lipsticks are all the rage—these are the ones you'll want for your big day

There was a time when bridal make-up meant betting big on bright red shades and glittering your face all the way. Contemporary brides have taken that down a couple of notches, though. Fuelled by celebrity weddings, the mood boards of late millennials and early Gen Z are all about subtlety. The bridal lehengas today feature more powder pink and champagne shades than orangey reds and maroons. The choice of lip colour is no longer a bold red or a 90’s brown. Rather, subtler nude shade lip colours have taken the main stage. 

Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk was the talk of the town when both Sophia Richie and Alia Bhatt chose this lipstick for their big days. Similarly, the Duchess of Sussex made headlines for her simple yet elegant wedding look that featured a Dior Lip Glow addict on her lips, according to her makeup artist Daniel Martin. 

So, here we've rounded up some of the best nude lip colours that will add the just-right touch of sophistication and charm to your big day.
