Makeup artist Manisha C understands how every bride is different, so her ultimate goal is to bring out “the absolute best” in everyone. “Whether it’s a natural or glamorous look, focus on bringing out that ‘lit from within’ glow.” It’s why she believes in achieving the perfect balance with all the bridal looks she creates. When going for a bold red lip, she prefers to go for subtle eye makeup. When going OTT with the eyes, nude lips is what she perfects. The latter is surely among her signature looks.
Nude lipstick is not only versatile, but it also comes across different finishes and formulas, from matte to glossy, to choose from. This means you can create a classic bridal makeup look with nude lipstick and also go for an ultra-glam look. But finalizing a wedding look with nude lips can be quite an undertaking. Manisha shares, the most popular definition for a nude lip is one shade above your natural lip tone. But given the plethora of choices, from pink to caramel, the term “nude” becomes so nuanced that it can be a struggle to get it right. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out our gallery of the gorgeous nude lipstick looks that the makeup pro has created for her brides.
Caramel Chic
Browns and caramels tones are OG nude choices. When you pick the right shade, the result should be a skin-tone nude complimenting shade that applies evenly on your lips and doesn’t flush out your face or make you look pale. Start by lining and filling your lips with a lip liner that is very close to your nude or slightly warmer colour. A brown nude is an apt pick when you want to go all out with dramatic eyes. Check out this gorgeous bridal look created by Manisha for inspiration.
Coral Craze
If you have a fair or medium skin tone, a very light lipstick shade can make it look washed out. Consider a coral or peach tone, which will surely add radiance to your face. We love this bridal look by Manisha C, where she’s used a peachy lip gloss along with metallic eyes and winged liner. It’s the perfect engagement look.
Pink Perfection
Soft pinks and old rose shades are universally flattering, whether you fall under fair, medium, olive or deep skin tone category. The beauty of nude pink lipsticks lies in the fact that you can play up or down when it comes to your eye makeup.
