"Next we are going to take the lips we are going to take the beautiful daytime look and take it to a little extra special for the wedding. What you want to do is just line the lips a little deeper. I also recommend for the day of the wedding a lip primer and you Guerlain has one that is called lip lift which is phenomenal that fills in all the lines on the lips and it keeps you lips smooth and soft and on all day. So a little extra lip liner and you want to take a shape that is in the same tone so you can see that she got a pinkie gold tone. I'm going to add a little bit of a berry right on the outer corner what you want to do is keep this center part very light because it is all a pallet color light brings out and dark takes back. So you want to leave the lips as juicy looking as possible for the day of the wedding. so again a little bit on the top and again leaving that center highlight and then for a little finishing touch you can add a little bit of a lip gloss. Now this is where you can play and put a little bit of a orange on there if you want and add a little bit of a peach on her cheek. But if you put a little orange on the lips you definitely want to add a little bit of a orangey blush or something kind like a pink shimmer which what I'm going to do next. You don't want the gloss all the way around just in the center is perfect, just want to put the lip gloss in the inner part of the lip not all the way around it just going to give it a little bit more of a dramatic look. Kind in the center, highlighting the center of the lip and giving it a little bit more fullness."
