What would you choose? Any advice on which will look better in pictures? I am going for a light pink or peachy color.

    Revlon has a balm stain that comes in a bunch of colors! It's glossy when it's fresh but it's a stain so when it wears off a little you're still left with some color. I'll be using that for the wedding so I don't have to reapply all the time, I picked the color honey because it's a light pink and I'm going for a more natural look.

    I used a peach pink lip stain (matte) by chanel..and LOVED it. but I did end up putting a dab of clear gloss on a few times throughout the day just because my lips felt dry.

    Matte, and preferably long-lasting (NARS and Kat von D are great) so it won't wind up on him when you kiss!

    The best thing to do is wear a liner, a lip stain (the best are by Anastasia, BareMinerals, or Revlon's), then a light gloss over it. Wearing something matte will make your lips look dry and highlight any dry patches. Just gloss will quickly fade or make you look washed out on photos.

    If you are doing dramatic eyes, go with a more neutral "you but better" lip, and if you're doing light eyes, then make lips stand out with darker shades (berry or rose look beautiful on just about all skin tones).
