Day weddings are so in. Less hectic, more fun and let’s admit that the pictures are absolutely beautiful! Well hello, Bollywood agrees too!

And even when the sun is shining bright, a little makeup never hurt. While your bestie bride will hire the best makeup artist, do you realise how tricky your makeup is going to be? How are you going to get that perfect pout selfie?

We spoke to our favourite makeup artists who revealed their favourite lipstick shades that are perfect for a day wedding.

All the listed products are easily available in Indian markets as well as online.

In Shades Of Pink

Mehr by MAC
Two of our fine makeup artists, Avantika Kapur and Chandni Singh, highly recommend this shade! The cool undertones of this lovely matte finish shade are sure to add a lot of freshness to the face. The best part about it is that it works fabulously on Indian skin tones. It’s hydrating, opaque and can definitely be your safe colour. Available at your nearest MAC store or buy online here.

Gossip Gurl Liquid Matte by Huda Beauty
This gorgeous liquid matte shade of pink is excessively light to wear (you might forget you’re wearing anything on your lips) and stays for a long time. Pair it up with minimalistic eye makeup and your lips would pop-out. This shade would go best with light and medium skin tones and is recommended by our makeup expert Sakshi Sagar. Buy it from your nearest Sephora store and check it out here.

Blessed Matte Lipstick by L.A.Girl 
This vanilla scented lip colour is great for medium skin tones. The presence of shea butter in it makes it highly hydrating and of a smooth texture. It is a rosy shade that tends towards pink more and would look beautiful in natural light. It is highly recommended by our makeup artist Chandni Singh. You can buy it online here.

Bazaar matte lipgloss by L.A Girl 
A warm pink with a bright finish and a smooth cream-like texture is just the lipstick for you for a day wedding if you have a light Indian skin tone. It has an opaque finish and looks chic. Suggested by our very own Chandni Singh. Buy here.

Playful Pigment Lipgloss by L.A Girl
Playful is a playfully vibrant lip shade that looks gorgeous at day events. It’s precisely a carrot pink colour according to Chandni Singh and does not require more than one layer to get the perfect colour. Again, this is great for light and medium Indian skin tones. You can buy it online here.

Kristen by Kylie
When we are listing shades of pink how can we forget this warm brown berry pink lip colour. It is great for all Indian skin tones and lasts for a long time. The shade, when applied, gives a subtle yet striking shade of pink lips and the matte finish doesn’t even dry the lips.Our makeup artist Sakshi Sagar wholeheartedly recommends this for day weddings. Check it out here.

Mauve It Over by Revlon

Bonus Tip

Choosing a lipstick colour doesn’t only depend on sunlight (or the absence of it). Some dark lip shades can be worn at day weddings if you are adventurous enough to sport them. Make sure you wear these bold shades with light or pastel eye makeup at a day event, as suggested by makeup artist Ojas Rajani.
