Lipstick Color to Wear With a Mint Dress
What color lipstick with mint bridesmaid dresses?
My girls are all pretty pale and they are wearing mint bridesmaid dresses. What color lipstick would look best? My MOH typically wears a red lip on a day-to-day basis but I'm not sure if pink might look better?
Pictures and/or brand suggestions are appreciated!

Pink is a complimentary color to green. I would think a light to medium pink would look best. Red might look a little Christmas-y.

I would go with a pink based neutral lip. Something like MAC Pink Plaid. It's a cool pink that looks great on lots of skin tones.

I'd let each of them pick what they prefer.

A light to medium pink would be best- like an almost natural pink color. Sidenote one of my BM's picked that same dress- I love it!

Are you having them all wear the same lipstick?

Probably light pink. But this is such a minor detail Id let them choose for themselves.

Perhaps a MUA will weigh in, but in my mind, lip color compliments the natural coloring of the lady -- not the color she's wearing. I cannot wear hundreds of shades -- my coloring dictates one of a few shades. Put me in the same lip color as an olive skinned, brown eyed woman with black hair and I'm going to look like a clown.
Please, leave this up to your MUA.

Whatever color each girl wants to wear.

I would use pinkish colors but it has to work with the person's skin tone, so variations are needed. Even a coral-pink would be pretty- especially on a redhead. Cooler pink for blondes and brunettes. Bubble-gum pink on a platinum blonde, fuchsia on someone with chocolate or black hair would be stunning.

What might look good on one girl might not look good on the others. Talk to a MUA and see what colors she recommends for each of them,

Pink..... But let them decide or MUA. I'm pale with pink undertones and what looks good on me won't look good on someone pale with yellow undertones and then you have to add in hair and eye color

First, I love that dress! Second, let them choose with the MUA. I would think that a pink lip would look best though.

The dress is so pretty! But I agree with others, not everyone can wear the same shade of lipstick because of the tone of their skin. Either the MUA or the BM themselves should choose what color lipstick they wear.

I'd focus more on matching the lipstick to the face and not the dress. What would look good on one girl wouldn't look good on another. Let them pick their own.

I'd let them just wear any shade that looks good on them and their skin tone individually. I imagine that if you make them all wear the same color, it's going to stand out alot on the gilr/s that it doesn't necessarily look good on...and not in a good way. If they wear a shade that compliments them it'll just blend in with their entire look for the day.

Who cares? If the BM wears red lipstick on a regular basis, let her wear red lipstick on your wedding day, it's obviously a colour that looks good on her.
I've been in several weddings and have never had the colour of lipstick or make-up dictated to me even when the bride was paying for it. I brought my own lipstick for the MUA to apply so that I could do reapplications later. FFS there are better things to worry about!

I should clarify - I'm not going to make them all wear the same shade, and undoubtedly my MUA will be the one picking the shades. I was moreso wondering what color family would look best - nudes, light pinks, medium pinks, reds, etc.

I think a pale pink would be really pretty with this! Love the dress!
