I thought about my wedding lip color more than I’d like to admit. Over the years I’ve disliked the way a lot of pinks wear on me, even super popular colors that seem to look good on other blondes (e.g., NARS<\/em>‘ “Turkish Delight”). Initially I thought I’d want a berry color after having worn NARS<\/em> gloss in the color “Sixties Fan” for a number of years and liking how it looked on me in photographs (I first heard about this color via a video of Lo Bosworth’s makeup routine – random I know; otherwise I wouldn’t have picked it up as it looked quite dark in the tube). Anyway, NARS<\/em> no longer makes that color, and I was struggling to find something similar – most berries I looked at seemed to run either too red or too plum. Finally, a late night scroll led me to the page of a wedding makeup artist\u00a0named\u00a0Abby Manuel<\/a> and I loved the look she did on one of her blonde clients. She very kindly responded to my DM inquiry requesting the details: Bobbi Brown<\/em> Crushed Lip Color in “Buff,” MAC<\/em> Lip Pencil in “Whirl,” and Buxom<\/em> Full-On Plumping Lip Polish in “Kristen.” This is exactly what I ordered and what I ended up wearing and I loved how it looked (and it wasn’t berry – but also not too pink or too nude – somewhere in the middle, I think).<\/p>\n

Re: DMs – I also really liked Erin Foster’s wedding makeup so I reached out to the woman who did her makeup, Aliana Lopez<\/a>. She told me that she used Victoria Beckham<\/em> Lip Definer in “No. 01”, and she also recommended Charlotte Tilbury<\/em>‘s K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in “Penelope Pink” for a similar option. These were a bit more nude\/peachy than I was looking for, but seem like some other good options.<\/p>\n

Speaking of blondes! This piece<\/a> by Tressie McMillan Cottom in the New York Times<\/em> is one of the most thought-provoking things I’ve read\u00a0in some time, and will definitely make me, being quite\u00a0balayage-d, think twice about describing myself as a “natural blonde” in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
