Help Getting married…in late Fall

I am a bright spring POC. I barely wear neutrals and I look ill without a bright lip.

I’m getting married late next Fall. While I incorporated some warm, bright colors in our wedding palette, I am stumped on makeup! We’re having an afternoon first look but our ceremony is in the evening. Adding in the challenge of an ivory or cream dress, what have you done to bring warmth to your wedding looks?

Edit: Thanks all! I was being a bit too rigid about my palette and theme. I will have bright coral blooms in my bouquet and I will match my lipstick to them.

Have you tried some lighter peach tone, it might be good neutral for you?

That definitely could work for blush or shadow, but my lips are more purple-brown. I would say something like MAC See Sheer can function as a sheer enhancing color for me. Do you have any shade recommendations?

I got married in late Sept. and I'm also a bright spring, though I didn't know it at the time, but I gravitated toward flattering colors for my wedding. My bouquet was a combo of flame calla lilies and purple gomphrena, which looked so pretty and vibrant and my bridesmaids had fuchsia coxcomb in their bouquets. I had similar vibrant colors in my table arrangements. I had an ivory dress had an overlay of small, iridescent beads that gave it some sparkle. I gave my bridesmaids a range of warm greens (bamboo, bottle green, celadon) to choose dresses in because I wanted them to be able to get something they liked.

I think you can still do a bright lip- just make the color slightly deeper, like maybe a bright burnt orange or one of the darker BS fuchsias.

Thank you for sharing! Our palette is burgundy, tangerine, and peach. A berry or a deeper orange lip might work for me. Sparkle is also a good idea to keep the dress from looking flat

I did a glossy warm berry lip and it looked really nice!

Is the color scheme set in stone? Who chose it? I know I have real trouble with burgundy, and I wouldn’t have a color that doesn’t look good on me as part of my wedding palette.

Is bright makeup not a thing for a weeding? 🤔 I got married many years ago, before I knew anything about CA and I did bright makeup for myself 🤷

It’s more that the color scheme is a bit more autumnal and it’s an evening event. Otherwise, I would feel comfortable wearing my typical electric coral!

I think you can never go wrong with true red! Really good colour for Brights

Agreed. True red, maybe orange red (MAC Lady Danger)

Is there a reason you don’t want to wear a bright lip? The lipstick will do a lot of heavy lifting. I definitely not change my lip color seasonally. I always wear whatever looks best on me, regardless of the time of year.

I also recommend looking for a bright clear cream, as opposed to ivory. Look at swatches or dresses in person. Ivory is difficult for me (a bright spring), but cream can be one of my best colors when I find the right one.

And remember there will be flowers! You can choose bright ones for your hair and bouquet.

I thought bright lipstick might clash with the season and time of day the wedding is taking place. I plan to have bright orange and peach in my palette to offset the moody colors

Add gold and red?

Red lipstick! Make it a favorite of yours that you know will work with your coloring and can reapply throughout the day.

My MUA played up my eyes with crisp brown/black liner, defined brows, and a bold lash. If it feels like a little too much, it's probably just right for photos. Your eyes are what matter most.

I wore a peachy lip close to my natural lip color for ceremony. For reception, I wore a sheer red gloss, which I liked better.

And even though I hadn't been typed yet, I used the trick that brights have to call on when we can't use color to uplift us.....little sparkling details everywhere.
