Yes, we said it: RED. Why run from it? Only one beauty product has the potential to top shoes and accessories when it comes to pulling together the big day: lipstick. The ruby red queen will always be Marilyn Monroe, but no matter your skin tone, red makes an entrance. Here comes the bride: Bam.

I’ve tried all the big brands, and the top two by far are Chanel Rouge Allure in Excessive and MAC’s Ruby Woo. Too bad it isn’t Tuesday – we could’ve done Ruby Tuesday as the title.

Much love,
