Perfect for a summer wedding and set to be one of this year's biggest wedding beauty trends, a coral lip has all the drama of red but with a softer and more tropical vibe. An ideal choice for your wedding day, it will add some va-va-VOOM to your look without going OTT. Even more, match your lipstick to your skin tone nad your look will go from show-stopping to simply electric.
Light
For fair-skinned beauties, a cool coral should be chosen, that is, a coral with blue undertones. For an even better match, those with cool undertones to their skin should choose a coral with a pink base and for those with a warm undertone can opt for a more orange pop.
Medium
Those with a medium skin tone have the option of choosing more vibrant corals, from peach to tangerine, a fruity punch of colour adds instant glamour with a tropical feel. Again, not one size fits all, and for those with a warm undertone a coral with a hint of orange should be chosen while those with a cooler undertone should stick to hints of apricot.
Dark
Those with dark skin get to wear the best of the coral shades with the most vibrant and outrageous options open to them. If your dark skin has cool undertones choose a lip colour that has a red base whereas if your skin is warm opt for those that are more orange based.
Expert Tip: The easiest way to to identify your skin tone is to classify yourself as either someone who can tan or someone who burns. If you tan, then you have a warm skin tone, and if you burn, then it is cool. Easy!
