With July on the horizon and my summer holiday in less than two weeks, I thought it was time to share my go-to summer lip picks from corals to bright fuchsias!
It may seem like summers over with this shift in the weather but lets feel optimistic!
I love wearing brights in the summer so as you can see, the shades in this post are perfect if you want to add a pop of colour! I’ve also included a range of finishes too from gloss to matte so if your after a new lipstick, read on…
If you prefer a creamy finish then I would definitely recommend Charlotte Tilbury’s Lost Cherry if you like a pastel red shade. This isn’t too bright nor too pale, it’s a subtle red that in some lights looks a fuchsia. If you still want to opt for a red this year but don’t want it to look too wintery, then Lancome have just brought out a new range of matte shakers and Kiss Me Cherie is perfect. It looks glossy on the swatch but it dries super quick and is quite long-lasting for a lip oil. If you want something in between with a glossy shine, I swear by Yves Saint Laurent’s Volupte Shine in shade 5. It’s super creamy, like a lip balm formula but the pigment is beautiful.
For more of a bright pink tone, I 100% recommend Phonecall by Urban Decay. It’s a barbie pink and I just love it! Valentine lip kit by Kylie Cosmetics is a must if you love a bright pink too. I’m yet to wear this, I got it from her Valentine’s range but felt it was more of a summer shade – I’m taking this to Ibiza so you can imagine how excited I am to wear it! So if you want an ‘out there’ shade how about Big Bang? This metallic number by Urban Decay is a bright pink with iridescent shimmer, like the name suggests – this is fireworks to your lips – again a super creamy formula, nothing less from UD.
Finally who doesn’t love a coral? I nearly slipped Sexy Sienna in this but I decided Suzy Starr by Joan Collins beauty needed the limelight. It’s a super orangey shade but its amazing on the lips, perfect if you want something different from pinks and reds.
