I Tried Sofia Richie’s Wedding Lipstick and Now It’s My Summer Go-To

Of all the captivating details of Sofia Richie’s wedding to Elliot Grainge, her lipstick surprisingly made a lasting impression on me. She donned a pink, peachy shade that was minimal, yet memorable—perfectly in line with her understated elegance and effortless personal style.

On her wedding day, Richie told Vogue that she wanted her look to feel timeless. Richie enlisted makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who leaned into subtle enhancements to the star’s natural beauty. Paired with a glossy gold lid and sunkissed blush, Dubroff accentuated her lips with a sheerness that wasn’t too saturated. “We wanted the lips to look fresh and soft, and not have a weighty lipstick feeling. Kissable lips!” she explains. In the end, this was achieved with a Chanel tinted lip balm accompanied by a natural contour shade lip pencil.

Part of the intrigue of Rouge Coco Baume is how it veils the lips in a practical, buildable color. As you layer your chosen shade, the finish transforms from a sheer, barely there color to a more opaque and luminous pigment. Richie’s lip was done with shade 928 Pink Delight, one of nine shades that range from rich reds to iridescent pearls. My personal favorite? 914 Natural Charm, which enhances my pout’s natural color.

“The Rouge Coco Baume range is hydrating and my constant go to!” Dubroff says, admitting that the formula is perfect for not only summer but in cooler temperatures when lips are more easily chapped. Why? The balm is enriched with a fruit- and olive leaf-derived oil that boasts antioxidant and rejuvenation benefits—meaning lips are soft, hydrated, and smoother upon application. With its conditioning properties and sheer, never-shiny tint, it’s safe to say I’ve found my ultimate summer lip.
