My makeup looked flawless in real life and in pictures – not too much but just enough to make me look and feel my most beautiful self! Makeup lasted well throughout the day and night and I didn’t have to retouch at all. Viorika was super professional turning up early to set everything up and she is a very easy going and humble person.” Mariam A

Hi there, as weddings tend to last a long time I would suggest you using a long lasting lipstick (my favs are from Nars, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Huda Beauty) and as you did mention having dry lips I would make sure to moisturise them really well before applying any lip product (using a lip scrub for a week prior to the wedding would also help hips). As to lip glosses - I love the ones from Fenty Beauty, Nars, Dior and also NYX for a cheaper option (none of them feel sticky on the lips).
