A Classic Red Lip

A red lip doesn’t go with every outfit, but it almost always goes with a white dress. The perfect shade of red with your white dress is a timeless and tasteful look, whether you’re traipsing through Europe or brunching with friends. Shop Valentino Beauty Rosso Valentino Refillable Lipstick in Roma Fab for a chic red that lasts all day.

Go for the Blush

Rosy cheeks, a glossy lip and a white dress are all the makings of a perfectly angelic look. Elevate your white dress by leaning into a simple yet stunning makeup look that goes heavy on the blush and brows, topped off with a bit of mascara and a glossy lip. (For a perfectly put-together look, use the same shade on your lips and cheeks. We recommend the L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Lip + Cheek Tint for the right soft, glowy look.)

Get Edgy With a Winged Eye

To go for a bolder look with your white dress and edge it up a little bit, some darker makeup is key. A winged eyeliner look (made easy with an angled felt tip, as included with the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Precision Felt Waterproof Eyeliner) with a matte lip instantly takes your white dress to an edgier level.

Pops of Color

The good news about wearing white, or even a slightly off-white shade like champagne or a light blush: You can wear any other color with it, including all the multicolored shades in the NYX Professional Makeup Swear By It Shadow Palette. Take advantage of your ensemble by going bold with your makeup, playing with the palette’s vibrant neons and shimmer pastels as Kristen Bateman does below with her blush frock.
