Dusky Brides, We Have Busted These Myths For You!

1. “Dusky Brides Shouldn’t Put Nude Lipsticks”

Ladies this is one of the top myths which makes no sense whatsoever. Dusky brides should put nude lipsticks as and when they feel like it. There is no law that only bold lip colours will look good on you at your wedding functions. Go all out and opt for a nice and subtle nude lip colour!
