Don't forget to wear blush. Flash photography can leave you looking washed out.

DO create a pretty pout by first applying your lip color using a lip brush, then using a lip pencil in a complementary color. Be sure to follow the natural line of your lips. Not only is it easier to define your lips after your lip color is already applied, it also creates a softer, more natural look.

Don't use a lip liner much darker than your lipstick to define your lips. This technique looks harsh and very unnatural in pictures.

DO choose a lip color in a warm, fairly bright shade. Roses, pinks and reds look great in photos and keep wedding whites looking fresh.

Don't wear a lipstick that is too neutral or frosted. These colors can leave you looking pale or tired.
