So FH would be over the moon if I wore red lipstick at our wedding, both because he loves it and also because he wants me to leave lipstick kisses on his face for pictures at the reception, lol. (We......might be a little sappy.) Anyway, I love wearing red lipstick but I'm nervous I would smear it because of the emphasis on, well, kissing that day. I mean obvs we won't be making out in front of everyone, but red lipstick can be messy, period. (And I have a childhood memory of my now-aunt kissing my uncle at their wedding and then grabbing his chin to turn his face to the audience and the whole crowd dying laughing because he had her red lipstick on his lips. It was a great moment, but that's not really the vibe I'm shooting for.) Is there any way I can protect myself from smearing and still get to leave a lipstick kiss on his cheek?
Similarly- brides who have gone with red or dark/vibrant lipstick--did you have trouble with smearing? How did you manage?
