Recently engaged and happily planning every detail of your big day? From planning your centerpieces, to your dress and the honeymoon, there are so many little details to think about... including your makeup, of course. While you certainly want to be the center of attention — the belle of the ball! — you don't want your makeup to overpower your look.
That's why when it comes to weddings, neutral makeup looks tend to reign supreme: Beautiful nude, blush and mauve hues help to bring subtle color to your face and wake up your features... without masking your natural beauty. So, with that in mind, we've rounded up some of our favorite neutral lipsticks, with picks for everyone, whether you prefer matte, gloss, satin, or a combination. Trust us, these my-lips-but-better (aka MLBB) shades are excellent choices for wedding day lipstick.

Pur's lip duo contains a super pigmented lip stain opposite a glossy, hydrating lip oil. You can wear them separately or together — both products keep your lips soft and smooth. The stain contains coconut oil and shea butter, while the gloss is packed with cranberry, sunflower, and jojoba oils. As for shades, the neutral Newlywed is obviously the way to go.
Touted as one of the best wedding lipsticks around, Charlotte Tilbury's cult favorite Pillow Talk is the perfect soft matte, pinky-nude shade. The universally-flattering hue enhances your pout with the perfect kiss of color and the long-wearing formula lasts through food, drinks... and even smooching your S.O.
Highly pigmented, rich and creamy, this lippie delivers long-wearing color with a delectably comfy consistency. The unique slim shape is excellent for lining and filling your lips. Exposed is a slight deviation from the traditional nude, as it's imbued with subtle coral hues. The result? A healthy flush of comfortable color that you'll enjoy wearing on your big day.
This gloss stick adds a beautiful pop of color that feels buttery and soft — and wears all day long. The narrow, shapely tube lines and fills lips to gorgeous, glossy perfection. As it fades, it leaves behind a smooth, colorful tint. We're especially enamored of Drive My Mauve, a beautiful cool-toned mauve shade with subtle berry tones. Apply a little for a subtle mauve-y tint — or layer it on for more impact.
