Now I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not REALLY that much of a lipstick girl most of the time, mainly because my lips arenāt particularly voluminous and I love drinking too many coffees, however, on occasion I do love using a bright lippy to add a pop of colour to an outfit, whether Iām heading to the local mall, a night out, or a wedding.
Not much of a fan of the āmatchy-matchyā look, with shoes, bags or lipstick, (letās face it, itās a bit predictable), Iāve put together my favourite pairings which are more about careful clashing!
Paired with a little back dress, orangey red lipstick looks trendy and totally chic. Especially, if the bold lip is the only statement colour you use in your outfit. I used to think burgundy and black look the best together, but it can look a bit gothic and quite aggressive.

Ok I probably should clarify, I donāt mean a brideās dress, but a typical white cocktail dress, white shirt etc. I personally love pairing mine with a bold red lipstick. Itās feminine yet fierce and perfect all year round.

Traditionally red is paired with red, yikes, way too matchy, matchy! Unless of course you have gorgeous olive, tanned or deep coloured skin and dark eyes. But for us paler princesses I prefer a deep burgundy lipstick, it still falls in the same shade range but creates a much more sophisticated look!

It can be difficult to find the shade of pink that perfectly matches a pink outfit, but once youāve done it, such combo looks absolutely fabulous. But itās important to find the perfect shade of pink, the trick is to find the perfect shade to match your pink dress or top and go one or two shades darker on the lips. This look is stunning and so, so pretty.

Nudes are the perfect match for your blue outfits. Pick the best kind of nude lipstick according to your outfit. For instance, a nude brown would look stunning with a royal blue; Nude pinks paired with your navy and teal.
