Most people are very excited and flattered to be asked to be a bridesmaid.    For little girls it is their dream come true and for older women of contemporary age as the bride, it is an affirmation of your friendship. Whilst little girls will look lovely in most colours, you may not have to be quite so careful if your bridesmaids are under seven, but teenage and adult bridesmaids will need to wear colours that suit them, if they are to look their best.  There are some “universal” colours that suit anybody.   “Soft white”, “taupe”, “stone” and “pewter” suit all skin tones but these may not be a good choice if the bride is wearing a shade of white, cream or taupe herself unless you want the Bridesmaids in exactly the same colour as the Bride.   Other colours to choose from that flatter all skin tones and hair colours are “mint”, “turquoise”, “emerald” and  “teal” if you like blues and greens, or “periwinkle”, “purple”, “blush pink” or “true red” if you prefer pinks and purples.  If none of these colours appeal, the alternative is to choose the colour you like, for example “aqua”, and dress your bridesmaids in different shades of that colour to suit their own natural colouring.   All the dresses could be the same style but slightly different shades so they would tone with each other but flatter the individual and still co-ordinate with the theme colour.   This can be very effective and each bridesmaid will be delighted to wear a colour she knows really suits her.  The time of year for your wedding plays an important part in the choice of colour, for example pastel shades don’t seem quite right in the winter and equally dark burgundy or pine green is better suited to a winter wedding. You may also want to consider which flowers are in season, if you are having fresh flowers in your bouquet.   Flowers tend to be blues, pinks and purples in early summer and more vivid shades of orange, red and yellow by late summer.        

During World War Two women were wearing bright red lipstick, possibly to cheer themselves up during that period of fear and grief.    Many cosmetic manufacturers have noticed a recent increase in sales, in spite of the current recession, suggesting that perhaps women like to treat themselves with a small luxury such as a new lipstick rather than embark on a full blown shopping trip. Now that Christmas is over and the New Year has begun and the newspapers are full of doom and gloom about the economy, we would all be forgiven for feeling a bit glum.   Buying a lipstick, is a fairly inexpensive way of treating yourself, and just think how much better you will look and feel, wearing a splash of colour on your lips. Finding the right shade of lipstick is crucial and once found you will notice how it will brighten and lighten your face. It is important to mirror your natural look with the type of colour you choose for your lipstick.   If you have deep or dark colouring, you can wear deep dark reds.   If you have any warmth or auburn streaks in your dark hair, avoid shocking pinks and choose reds that have a hint of orange in them. If you have light or pale colouring, a deep or dark lipstick will overpower your face.   Again if there is any hint of golden or yellow in your hair, opt for a coral or warm brown lipstick, but nothing too dark or heavy.   If you have ash blonde, grey or white hair, pink lipsticks will be more complimentary.   A nice clear fuchsia or rose pink will be very flattering. If you have light or dark blonde hair, pale skin and soft brown, green, blue or grey eyes, you will look best in soft shades of pink, brown or coral lipstick.   Before you apply your newly purchased lipstick, make sure your lips are in good condition and not chapped and sore.   Apply some lip balm regularly and “buff” your lips with a soft toothbrush and a small amount of moisturiser. It is good practice to apply a lip base under your lipstick.   Lip base acts as a moisturiser and will also give extra “sticking power” to the lipstick.   Now apply a lip pencil in either a neutral shade or a close match to your lipstick.   Outline the lips and then fill in over the whole lip area.   This will stop lipstick “bleeding” into the area around your lips and give another layer of colour.   Finally apply a coat of lipstick, preferably with a lip brush.    There is a vast array of lipsticks available in many different colours and varying degrees of price.  It isn’t necessary to spend a lot of money but it is important to find the right colour for you.   Beware of artificial lighting in some shops as colours can be distorted.   It may be worth asking for a sample to take home so you can see the true colour before you buy. If you decide to treat yourself with lipstick, take your time, savour the shopping experience and find that perfect colour that you will wear many times.
