You might have a list of famous brides whose bridal looks are already pinned to your online vision board. But you mightn't be able to quite pin down the shade of lipstick they were wearing. Well that's where we come in, as we did some digging and found the exact bridal lipsticks worn by 10 famous brides. These are gorgeous finds, that you will fall in love with long after your big day.
The Lipsticks Celebrity Brides Love
1. Meghan Markle - Dior
Meghan Markle's fairytale wedding to Prince Harry in 2018 was watched by 1.8 billion people globally. Her dear friend, MUA Daniel Martin, was on makeup duties and chose a rather unusual lipstick for her to wear. Meghan opted for very soft and natural makeup with her Givenchy couture gown and its 16-foot train, and on her lips, she wore a pH-altering lipstick-cum-lip balm from Dior - the Lip Addict Glow in the shade 001 Pink. It reacts with your skin's pH balance, turning it into a creamy pinkish tone. Comfortable and pretty, it's a wearable any time of the year.
Sofia Richie - Chanel
Sofia Richie's wedding weekend in the South of France was watched by nearly 15 million people but on Instagram, not TV. Lionel Richie's youngest daughter had a spectacular Chanel couture wardrobe for her wedding to Elliott Grainge. MUA Pati Dubroff used Chanel Rouge Coco Baume in the shade, Pink Delight 928. Again, a lipstick-cum-lip balm, it comes in nine shades and is the chicest bridal accessory for your wedding day handbag.
Kate Middleton - Bobbi Brown
Kate Middleton's nuptials to Prince William was a wedding nobody will forget. Kate's Royal couture Alexander McQueen gown cost in the region of €400,000, paid for her by parents. Fortunately, Kate's makeup look is much more accessible than that, it's been reported that she took lessons with a makeup artist before her wedding day, so she could do her own makeup on the big day. It was rumoured that her whole makeup look was from Bobbi Brown. It took nine long years for them to confirm that she was one of their celebrity brides, and we know she wore the Luxe Lipstick in Sandwash Pink. A warmer pink-toned lipstick, it's a glamorous lip colour with the Royal seal of approval.
Paris Hilton - MAC
Paris Hilton got married on her favourite day of the year, 11 November (11:11) in 2021 and wore not one, but six wedding dresses. Two were Oscar de la Renta, another a Pamella Roland design, and the other three are unknown. Paris was inundated with offers from designers from around the world, and she said she had around 45 dresses before the big day, before narrowing it down for her three-day affair. Her makeup was typical for Paris (Marilyn Monroe was her inspiration), she had glossy skin, and lots of lashes but rather than going the pink route with her lipstick, she went with a chic combo - MAC's Lip Liner in Spice (a classic shade for light skin tones, Cork is better for deeper tones) and the brand's Viva Glam II, the cult lipstick that made MAC famous back in the day. Hydrating, it's the perfect nude for a bride, as it's creamy and highly pigmented with a matte finish.
Kourtney Kardashian - Hourglass Cosmetics
Kourtney Kardashian actually got married three times. Kourtney and drummer husband Travis Barker first wed in Las Vegas. Then in Santa Barbara, and finally, in Portofino Italy in a Dolce & Gabbana-styled celebration. Kourtney wore two wedding dresses from the Italian brand, the first had a long veil embroidered with the words - Family, Loyalty, and Respect under an image of the Virgin Mary, inspired by her new husband's head tattoo! For her second dress, she wore a mini dress inspired by the music video for November Rain by Guns N' Roses. Her makeup look was a mix of Gothic and classic, her smokey eye complemented by a chic nude lip. Her lipstick was Hourglass Cosmetic's Velvet Story Lip Cream in the shade, Touch. Featherlight and comfortable, the whipped mousse colour has a soft-focus matte finish.
Nicola Peltz - Chanel
Nicola Peltz also went the Chanel route for her wedding day makeup by MUA Kate Lee. Her inspiration for her hair and makeup was 90s supermodel, Claudia Schiffer, who was said to be delighted about it. Even though she has returned to her natural dark hair since her Palm Beach wedding extravaganza, her wedding day lipstick looks as good on brunettes as it does blondes. Chanel Rouge Coco Flash in the shade Easy was Nicola's choice but has been out of stock for a long time. The shade Boy is all but identical to Easy and it is more of a classic bridal shade.
Britney Spears - Charlotte Tilbury
The smiles might be thin on the ground now between Britney Spears and Sam Asghari but the singer chose Charlotte Tilbury for their wedding. Charlotte's niece Sofia did Britney's makeup and put together a lip trio of the brand's most iconic colour, Pillow Talk, for the big day. Perfectly matched, Sofia used Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk, then applied Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk and finished with a gloss layer of Collagen Lip Bath in Pillow Talk. Individually these three cost upward of €100, but you can get Charlotte's Pillow Talk Wardrobe with four Pillow Talk lip products including Britney's wedding day trio for €46.
Hailey Bieber - Bare Minerals
'Till Death Do Us Part' was embroidered at the end of Hailey Baldwin's extra-long veil when she married singer, Justin Bieber and her dress was created by the late Virgil Abloh, of Off-White. Before she ever had her beauty brand, Rhode, Hailey was a brand ambassador for Bare Minerals whose cruelty-free and vegan values aligned with her own. Her MUA Denika Bedrossian has kept quiet about her wedding day lipstick except to say she used a nude lip liner teamed with a glossy peachy lip gloss for moisture and shine. And so, we give you Bare Minerals Mineralist Lip Gloss Balm in the shade Serenity. On our list of celebrity brides and their lipsticks, it's the most budget-friendly at €27.
Amal Clooney - Charlotte Tilbury
Amal Clooney's wedding weekend in Venice in 2014 had the world watching. Amal had her makeup done by her longtime friend and MUA, Charlotte Tilbury. As a master of timeless style, she also went for a classic lip shade for her wedding day lip look, choosing Charlotte's Lip Cheat lip liner in the universally flattering, flattering Pillow Talk. As for her lipstick choice, she was bolder than the rest of our famous brides, wearing the shade Walk Of Shame, a berry-rose matte lipstick and it's still one that she wears quite a lot on the red carpet.
Sofia Vergara - Cover Girl
The last of our famous brides, Sofia Vergara had probably the most detailed wedding dress of them all. Her Zuhair Murad couture gown of silk and tulle had five kilos of sequins and almost three kilos of pearls embroidered into it, taking 1,657 hours to create. And she famously wore diamond earrings from jeweller Lorraine Schwartz that were 55 carats. The Cover Girl ambassador was gifted a bespoke lipstick from the American beauty brand called Sofia In Love, that was a divine red. The shade never went on sale but we have a great replica with Dior's Rouge Couture Colour Lipstick in the shade, 743 Rouge Zinnia.
