Makeup expert Aarti P loves a timeless look. Keeping aside the ever-changing trends and experimental looks, she strongly believes that the day of the wedding ceremony should be reserved for classic makeup. And what better than the most iconic red to embody your wedding glow! From colourful lehengas to monotone gowns, red remains one of the most embraced colours for makeup as it brings a royal touch to your look. The London-based artist suggests brides to incorporate a dashing red in their makeup picks, particularly for the lips as it is a safe choice.

“Brides are very personal when it comes to lipsticks. I wouldn’t want to risk it by adding too much colour on the wedding day. The modern cult products always hold in my kit to create looks of a lifetime are Charlotte Tilbury Viva La Vergara lipstick, Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch Concealer, YSL Lash Clash Mascara and Bobbi Brown Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm. Huda Beauty’s Liquid Matte in Miss America is one of my go-to red lipsticks.”

Summer or winter, day or night, Aarti P feels it’s always a good time to wear a red lip. “You want the wedding ceremony images to be timeless. So you need something reliable like red to make the best of it.”
