This berry lip bridal makeup feature brings a special kind of joy to my heart.  Its been a long time coming, but when things start to fall in line, they really fall in line and quickly!  Today’s feature is the first of many collaborations to come with hair & makeup maven, Eden of Beauty by Eden Di Bianco.  Armed with easily a year’s worth of creative ideas generated in just our first idea spawning meeting alone, there is so much lovely inspirational, tutorial, & advice driven content coming your way, Storyboard Wedding is easily about to become a bridal makeup and hair destination!  With that said, we could not have done this without the utterly magical eye that is New York wedding photographer Melissa Kruse Photography, someone who both Eden & I hope to endlessly work with on future projects, who’s gentle touch & romantic eye is simply beyond and a bride’s best friend.  Lastly, a major thank you to New York bridal boutique Gabriella Bridal for generously supplying us with the breathtaking wedding dresses, bringing everything to life much the way they do with real brides on a daily basis!

Ok enough with the waxing poetically already, let’s get to business!  As we leave the warm hug that is summer and slide into the cooler temps of autumn, there are certain makeup looks that go hand in hand, berry lips most certainly leading that pack!  While brilliant colors in a range of berry infused hues is a no brainer, have you ever really considered the other elements that go into the perfect pout?  While color is naturally the first thing we identify with when we think of our lips, its texture, gloss & definition that are the real worker bees.  When we thought about the best ways to score berry lips, we didn’t just want to toss a few different colors at you and walk away.  We wanted to take it one step further and show you the different effects that stain, gloss, matte and a powerful deep lined berry lip can bring.  Sure we changed up the hues, but we made a point to highlight the different ways to not only achieve knockout bridal makeup {and where to buy it!}, but THE best berry lip, autumn perfection don’t you think?

The Deep Berry Lip
Products Used & Where to Buy: Slim Lip Pencil in Currant by NYX topped with NYX Round Lipstick in Hope

WHY.WE.LOVE.IT ~ Berry shades run the gamut from flirty vixen to outright vampy, but to avoid them running all over your face you should always line your lips and fill them in lightly before topping with lipstick. NYX pencils are not only affordable as heck, but are also highly pigmented and good quality because they are made by the same German factory that produces pencils for MAC (yes, really!) except for a fraction of the cost. They are one of my favorite brands for lip pencils and lipsticks because of the broad range and extremely affordable pricing
