A picture-perfect pout is a wedding day must. So, it stands to reason that lipstick is among the most important beauty buys in a bride's makeup bag. Finding a kiss-proof formula that’s moisturizing and stays put—from photos to the after-party—is essential. However, finding options in a variety of pretty hues that are also free of unnatural ingredients can be a tall order—but who wants to pucker up to a tube full of chemicals, amirite?
When shopping for your wedding day lipstick, it's important to look at the product's formula—especially if you tend to have dry or sensitive skin. Lipsticks made with natural oils and ingredients will keep your lips looking and feeling fresh for your walk down the aisle. Next, consider your bridal aesthetic. If you're hosting a summer garden wedding, opt for light pink hues or neutrals. If you're having a black-tie affair, bold reds and berry shades might be more your speed.
To help you find the right lipstick for you, we've researched the best natural and non-toxic options—keeping ingredients, lasting power, and overall quality in mind. A few of our favorite finds include the Narcissus Enchanted Lip Sheer, the Adore Red Edit Lipstick, and the Burt's Bees Natural Moisturizing Lipstick.
Read on for the best natural and non-toxic lipsticks for brides.

What To Look for in Natural Lipstick
Ingredients
If you're looking for a clean and all-natural beauty product, the first thing to look at is the ingredients. While some lipsticks are made with chemicals, there are a variety of non-toxic options made with vegan ingredients. For example, the Kjaer Weis Red Edit Lipstick is infused with nourishing oils like sunflower, rose hip, and olive oils.
Shade and Formula
Of course, you'll want to look for lipstick shades that will make you feel beautiful and confident on your special day. If you're a bold bride, you might pair your smokey eyeshadow look with a bright red lip. If you're a minimalist bride wearing a simple slip dress, you may consider pale pink hues or simple neutrals instead. As for the formula, ask yourself if you prefer a glossy sheen or a solid matte look. This will help narrow down your lipstick options as well. Matte formulas look great in photos, while smooth and shiny lipsticks create a cohesive look.
