Product Recommendations
It is recommended for the bride and bridal party to have a lip product and powder for any necessary touch-ups throughout the day/night. The products listed below are some of my go-to's in each category. In terms of lasting power for lip color, a liquid lipstick will be the longest lasting, a traditional lipstick will come in second and a lipgloss will have the shortest wear time. I like layering lip products for optimal wear.
