But let me warn you to PROCEED WITH CAUTION! Red lipstick is SCARY! It's the stuff you snuck out of your Mom's makeup bag and went crazy with when you were 5!

5. Protection from the Hot Hot Sun
You can only hope that the gorgeous sunshine is a guest on your wedding day. But when you're outside smiling for the cameras you need to make sure that you are protected against its harmful rays. Walking into your reception radiating instead of radiant is not the look you're going for. Becoming a blotchy, sun burnt bride is totally avoidable!

So you're going for the sultry siren lips with the perfect shade of rouge. But you want your lips to be EXTRA kissable on your wedding day. Try a lip plumper! I had one of my girlfriends try mine the other day after we had lunch and she actually called me an hour later wanting to know what it was called and where I got it! Well, I'm going to tell you... It's LipFusion Micro-Injected Collagen Lip Plump. It's the only lip plumper that puts actual collagen into your lips... with NO NEEDLES! It doesn't sting or burn. Tons of Hollywood celebs (like Desperate Housewives' Marcia Cross, One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush and Gossip Girl's Blake Lively) are jumping on the Lip Fusion bandwagon. You can too!
Our pick:
LipFusion Color Shine Micro-Injected Collagen Lip Plump, Sweet
Many products claim "collagen' as a featured ingredient when, in truth, the collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. LipFusion harnesses the clinically proven plumping and hydrating powers of new, patented marine collagen-filling spheres™, a technology that dehydrates the collagen molecule into tiny microspheres, in order to penetrate and then search for the body's natural water to re-hydrate creating a beautifully natural, full-out pout.
3. Dewy Fresh Cheeks
Look for liquid-based formulas that you dot on your cheeks and lips for a sheer, stained finish. I just love how soft and feminine you look when you put it on.

Color Wash's fluid texture blends smoothly leaving a lasting finish with a crystal clear flush of color. Simply apply with the inner-cap brush provided and blend quickly with fingertips or a sponge.
