As if we needed an excuse to spend an afternoon sleuthing the internet for the lipsticks our favourite celebrities wore on their wedding day. But with today being National Lipstick Day, it turns out we got one anyway.
From the lipstick Kate Middleton was spotted purchasing days before her wedding to Amal Clooney’s unique nude-liner-meets-berry-lipstick combo, there are a few shade names we recommend jotting down.
Whether it’s to inspire your own impending wedding day or just to try something new, here are the exact lipsticks that our favourite A-listers reached for on what’s arguably the most important glam session of their lives.
Meghan Markle
Ok, it’s technically not a lipstick but it’s a lip product on her wedding day nonetheless. Besides, how could we leave out the most hyped wedding of the last decade? During Meghan Markle’s 2018 nuptials to Prince Harry, the Duchess surfaced on our TV screens with the most stunning no makeup-makeup we’ve seen, well, ever. Speaking to InStyle, a rep for Dior confirmed that her soft pink pout was all thanks to Dior’s Addict Lip Glow ($57, Myer), which offers a soft, balm-like finish that actually adapts according to the pH of your skin.
Amal Clooney
Not only did Amal Clooney’s wedding day makeup involve a face full of Charlotte Tilbury products; her makeup was actually done by the Charlotte Tilbury herself. The stunning Lake Como wedding called for an equally as gorgeous lip to match. And the chosen shade? Well, according to Charlotte Tilbury, they opted for a layered look using Lip Cheat Lip Liner in the shade Pillow Talk ($35, Charlotte Tilbury) with the M.I. KISS Lipstick ($49, Charlotte Tilbury) to finish. Stunning.
Kate Middleton
As the story goes, in the lead-up to her wedding day, Kate Middleton was spotted in London at the Bobbi Brown makeup counter. It’s alleged that this was the outing where she purchased the creamy lipstick that she wore on her big day. The lippy in question? Bobbi Brown’s Lip Colour in the shade ‘Sandwash Pink’ ($53, Adore Beauty). We hope this tale is true.
Sofia Vergara
Being a CoverGirl brand ambassador comes with its perks. One such perk is having a custom-made lipstick shade created just for your wedding day. Something Sofia Vergara was lucky enough to experience ahead of her 2015 wedding to Joe Manganiello. The actual lippy was an old favourite (CoverGirl’s Outlast Longwear Lipstick) but the shade ‘Sofia In Love’ was brand new.
Speaking specifically of her wedding day lip look, Sofia told Yahoo Beauty, “I know that I want to do something interesting with the mouth,” she said. “I want to use a bold lip to make it modern. I’m an older bride, I’m 43, so I don’t want to play the role of the virgin getting married all pale and all that.” Mission accomplished.
If your wedding was next week, which lipstick would you wear?
I would wear something bright , like Sophia Vergara
She always looks gorgeous.
This is great news she’s getting married!
Not for me personally but I love seeing these looks
There is no way I’d be able to remember what lipstick I had on for my wedding day. It was so long ago …. 😀
That’s true S-P I would have no idea.
Yeh me either! It was 26 years ago! The lady who did my makeup owned her salon locally and she sort of used her own ideas of what was right for me and gave me some on one of those retractable travel lipstick brushes (great things!).
mine too
Same here
Definitely my new Elizabeth Arden Lip Color I got to trial from bh.
These are all so lovely. I actually love that Sofia had some fun and went bright!
I admire it but don’t think I could have pulled it off (or at least had the courage to try)
Personal choice. I do love lipstick but I don’t have to follow what the celebrities wear.
No I agree but there are some lovely ones here
Not really the point of this article. Just showing you what they wore on their wedding days. You wear whatever you want.
I would wear a neutral colour.
I love neutrals too!
I wore red on my wedding day which stood out in the photos
Probably depends on what the future husband would like, as I don’t care.
The Charlotte Tilbury one looks divine.
The shades from that line are always phenomenal
I’ve got a lot of favourites at the moment! MACs Runway is something I purchased a mini in and it is really different to what I normally buy but I love wearing it – although I put it on quite lightly
Is Sophia getting married to Manu the chef? that guy looks so much like Manu!!
Joe Manganiello. He was in Magic Mike.
haha Had to have another look after reading your comment. I can see the resemblence Clearcrystalwater.
No, she married Joe Manganiello – a fellow actor (from memory, he was in the first Magic Mike movie + the TV show True Blood) – back in 2015.
That’s actor Joe Manganiello. He’s so hot, but that pic’s an unflattering angle of him. He played Alcide the werewolf on True Blood. I think he was in Magic Mike, too. 😜
I would wear Cheat Lip Liner in the shade Pillow Talk ($35, Charlotte Tilbury) with the M.I. KISS Lipstick ($49, Charlotte Tilbury
Good to see that the lip colours they wore wasn’t out of the way expensive.
I love the Charlotte Tilbury packaging- there is something very old Hollywood about it.
It’s so glam! I love it, too
I’ll take the Amal and the groom too 🙂
Just the groom would do me -!!
He isn’t bad is he?
One of my sisters friends who lives in Adelaide is Amal Clooney’s cousin.
wow. Small world.
Very
I would probably want a nice pink nude colour for my wedding
I love pink nudes too
This was my poison of choice
Had no idea Sofia was a Covergirl ambassador.
I would probably go for a bit of a darker red.
Mine would be soft, true pink. I’d wear the Estee Lauder one I loved for years but it’s discontinued and I haven’t quite got over that.
Woah love it! Also, fairly cheap for celebs! X
My favourite would have to be Megan Markle, light yet still gorgeous! X
All beautiful colours and look so good on the wearer.
Beautiful Lipstick Shades but I always prefer Nudes maybe Pink Rose Colour at least your lipstick doesn’t overshadow your Wedding Dress.
If I were getting married, I probably would choose a nice pinky nude that suited my pale cool-toned skin, or maybe I’d do a Sofia & wear something bold, like a cool-toned red or a fuchsia.
Imagine being able to have your makeup done by Charlotte Tilbury herself!
Absolutely insane!
I love that Sofia went for a bright shade. I’d probably go for MLBB because it’s easier to maintain
If I ever got married, it would be over my dead body, so I’d wear whatever the mortician put on me, haha!
Oh I love it!
I like the sound of the Dior lip glow product, love that it changes for each person.
Oddly specific but cool to read nevertheless
My daughter got married last Friday and she worn a colour very similar to Meghan Markle
That would have looked beautiful.
If I was getting married again I’d wear Charlotte Tilbury’s gorgeous lipstick shade in berry like Amal Clooney wore – or something similar.
I would definitely wear something brighter!
I would choose Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk plus the M.I. KISS Matte Revolution Lipstick as I love the beautiful Berry Red shade. I’ve found Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks give long-lasting colour and my lips always feel comfortable when wearing them.
love the brands
They are all beautiful colours. I am happy to wear any of these.
None of these are my colours but they look good on those that wore them
I love Sofia Vergara’s chosen shade but I would probably go for something neutral for my wedding day.
Amal Clooney always looks so stylish. And what a brain! But personally I’d go for something between her shade and Sophia Vergara’s.
nice to see Sofia Vergara breaking the mould of nudes and soft pinks
I like all except the last Sofia one – too bright for me
She is always lovely
A bride always looks lovely- she has that inner glow
Love seeing the soft looks which appeal to me so much more than very bright lipsticks.
I would wear Amal Clooney’s lipstick, I think that would suit me the most
Nice to know, in case we want to recreate the look I suppose.
All beautiful looks.
A mail in order bride is a woman from another country who is looking for a husband. This new age phenomenon is gaining popularity in today’s society and has made it easier than ever to find the right woman for marriage. This type of bride is usually more faithful and committed to her career than to her marital prospects. In addition, mail order brides do not sacrifice their marriage prospects because they are interested in establishing a career.
I don’t even remember what lipstick I wore to my own wedding!
I love Amal.
