It Took Me Weeks to Find the Perfect Bridal Lipstick — but This Is It

Praline turned out to be way darker on my face than I anticipated. It's definitely more pink in the bottle, but the color is still pretty — one coworker said I looked "edgy." (Which was the first time anyone had called me that since I dressed up like Fairuza Balk from The Craft last Halloween.) While it may not be the color I'm going for on my wedding day, the formula stayed put all the way into the afternoon. There was definite fadeage (new word, you're welcome) by 4 p.m., but it had just morphed into a tame version of the original shade.
