The Lipsticks Celebrity Brides Love
The images that accompanied Meghan Markle’s recent appearance have been a subject of interest, with one notable photograph taken by Getty. Meanwhile, the Dior Lip Addict Glow campaign features striking visuals supplied by the brand itself.
Meghan Markle – Dior
Meghan Markle’s 2018 wedding to Prince Harry captivated a global audience of 1.8 billion people, with her close friend and makeup artist Daniel Martin at the helm. For the big day, Meghan opted for understated yet elegant makeup that perfectly complemented her stunning Givenchy couture gown and its impressive 16-foot train. A key component of her overall look was the Dior Lip Addict Glow in shade 001 Pink, a pH-altering lipstick-balm hybrid.
This innovative product reacts with an individual’s skin to produce a soft, creamy pink hue, making it suitable for any time of year. As seen in the photograph by Pati Dubroff, Meghan’s natural-looking makeup and lip color were the perfect accompaniment to her fairytale-inspired wedding ensemble.
Sofia Richie – Chanel
Sofia Richie’s nuptials to Elliott Grainge in the picturesque South of France drew a staggering audience of nearly 15 million viewers – albeit online, not on traditional television. The Lionel Richie offspring stunned in a breathtaking Chanel couture wardrobe during her special day. Makeup artist Pati Dubroff brought her A-game, opting for Chanel’s Rouge Coco Baume lip color in Pink Delight 928.
This innovative product combines the benefits of a lipstick and lip balm, offering nine shades to choose from. As an added touch, it makes for a chic bridal accessory that can be easily stashed in your wedding day handbag. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton’s timeless beauty continues to inspire – a true testament to her enduring allure.
Kate Middleton – Bobbi Brown
The royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William was an unforgettable event that continues to capture the imagination of many. While her stunning Alexander McQueen gown, reportedly valued at €400,000, was a gift from her parents, Kate’s makeup look was another story altogether. According to reports, she took lessons from a professional makeup artist before the big day, allowing her to confidently apply her own makeup.
The buzz surrounding her wedding-day beauty regimen led many to speculate about the products used, with rumors suggesting that she relied heavily on Bobbi Brown’s expertise. One of the standout beauty moments was Kate’s use of Bobbi Brown’s Luxe Lipstick in Sandwash Pink, a gorgeous, warm pink shade that received the royal seal of approval.
The story of this iconic lip color continues to fascinate beauty enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike, with its connection to one of the most celebrated weddings of all time.
Paris Hilton – MAC
Paris Hilton’s 2021 wedding was a fairytale come true. On November 11th (11:11), she exchanged vows and wore not just one, but six stunning wedding dresses, designed by Oscar de la Renta, Pamella Roland, and three mystery designers. The socialite had initially received around 45 offers from renowned fashion houses worldwide before narrowing down her choices to the perfect six for her three-day celebration. As expected, Paris’s makeup look was flawless, drawing inspiration from Marilyn Monroe.
Her skin glowed with a healthy gloss, and her lashes were luscious. Instead of opting for a traditional pink shade, she chose a sophisticated combination featuring MAC’s Lip Liner in Spice (ideal for light complexions) or Cork (better suited for deeper tones). The pièce de résistance was the iconic Viva Glam II lipstick, which has become synonymous with MAC’s rich heritage.
This hydrating, creamy formula boasts a matte finish and is an ideal choice for brides seeking a natural, yet striking look.
Kourtney Kardashian – Hourglass Cosmetics
Kourtney Kardashian has had a whirlwind romance with drummer Travis Barker, culminating in three marriages. The first ceremony took place in Las Vegas, followed by Santa Barbara and finally, a Dolce & Gabbana-styled celebration in Portofino, Italy. For her big day, Kourtney opted for not one, but two stunning wedding dresses from the Italian brand.
The first dress featured a long veil embroidered with the words ‘Family, Loyalty, and Respect’ under an image of the Virgin Mary, paying homage to Travis’s head tattoo. Her second look was inspired by the iconic music video for Guns N’ Roses’ hit single ‘November Rain’. Kourtney’s makeup look perfectly blended Gothic and classic styles, with a smoky eye complemented by a chic nude lip.
Her lipstick of choice was Hourglass Cosmetic’s Velvet Story Lip Cream in the shade Touch, offering a featherlight, comfortable finish with a soft-focus matte finish.
Nicola Peltz – Chanel
Nicola Peltz’s wedding day makeup was expertly crafted by MUA Kate Lee, drawing inspiration from the iconic 90s supermodel, Claudia Schiffer. This choice reportedly delighted Schiffer herself. Although Nicola has since returned to her natural dark locks, her wedding day lipstick remains a timeless beauty choice for both brunettes and blondes alike. Her go-to shade was Chanel Rouge Coco Flash in ‘Easy’, although it’s been out of stock for some time.
A closer alternative can be found in the ‘Boy’ shade, which boasts a classic, bridal-inspired hue.
Britney Spears – Charlotte Tilbury
Despite the seemingly strained relationship between Britney Spears and Sam Asghari, the singer still managed to find a beauty solution that brought a smile to her face. For her special day, Britney entrusted Charlotte Tilbury with her makeup needs. Sofia, Charlotte’s niece, took charge of the singer’s look and created a stunning lip trio using Pillow Talk, one of the brand’s most iconic shades.
The combination consisted of Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk, Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk, and Collagen Lip Bath in Pillow Talk. While these individual products would normally cost over €100, fans can recreate Britney’s wedding-day look with Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Wardrobe for a more affordable price of €46.
Hailey Bieber – Bare Minerals
Hailey Baldwin’s wedding day look was a masterclass in understated elegance. The model-turned-beauty-entrepreneur’s extra-long veil featured the poignant phrase ‘Till Death Do Us Part’, embroidered in elegant script, while her dress was a collaborative effort between herself and the late Virgil Abloh of Off-White.
Prior to launching her own beauty brand, Rhode, Hailey had already lent her support to Bare Minerals as a brand ambassador, drawn to their cruelty-free and vegan ethos that aligned with her own values. Her makeup artist, Denika Bedrossian, has kept mum about the exact shade of lipstick used on the big day, but did reveal that it was a nude lip liner paired with a peachy gloss for added moisture and shine.
In homage to this classic look, we’re highlighting Bare Minerals’ Mineralist Lip Gloss Balm in Serenity, a budget-friendly option at €27. Meanwhile, Amal Clooney’s own wedding look was a stylish affair, as seen in these Getty images. Elsewhere, Charlotte Tilbury’s Walk of Shame Lipstick has been a popular choice among the celebrity set.
Amal Clooney – Charlotte Tilbury
The world was captivated by Amal Clooney’s wedding weekend in Venice back in 2014, and it’s no surprise that her makeup look was a topic of great interest. Her longtime friend and MUA, Charlotte Tilbury, was the mastermind behind her timeless beauty, opting for classic choices throughout her look. The star of the show was her lip shade, which featured Charlotte’s Lip Cheat lip liner in Pillow Talk, a universally flattering hue that has stood the test of time.
But Amal didn’t stop there – she chose to make a bold statement with Christian Dior Rouge Couture Colour Lipstick in Walk Of Shame, a rich berry-rose matte finish that has since become a staple on her red carpet appearances.
Sofia Vergara – Cover Girl
Sofia Vergara’s wedding dress was truly a masterpiece of couture craftsmanship. The stunning Zuhair Murad gown was adorned with an impressive 5 kilograms of sequins and almost 3 kilograms of pearls, taking a whopping 1,657 hours to complete. To add the perfect finishing touches, Sofia wore diamond earrings from Lorraine Schwartz that boasted an impressive 55 carats.
As a Cover Girl ambassador, she was gifted a bespoke lipstick from American beauty brand Sofia In Love, a divine red shade that never made it to retail shelves. However, we’ve found a great replica in Dior’s Rouge Couture Colour Lipstick in the same radiant shade, 743 Rouge Zinnia.
