Summer make-up is always a sore point: as much as we would like to dare with colours and textures, we’re always held back by the fear of excessive heat and to have all the make-up cast on the face. However, there’s a product that can be exploited without the problem of incurring in some beauty drama: lipstick. From the shimmer ones to the crazy ones, from the darker colours to the nude shades, here are our 10 favourite lipsticks for the SS19.
LIPSTICKS FOR A RED-CARPET LOOK
GUCCI – ROUGE À LÈVRES VOILE LIPSTICK IN 203 MILDRED ROSEWOOD
What: a lipstick with moisturizing properties and a bright and luminous finish with a delicate pink colour and a warm brown undertone.
Why: Where to start? From the splendid packaging with a rose motif? From the fact that it is a limited edition available online only until May 27th? Or because, after we saw Dakota Johnson wearing it for the Met Gala, we literally fell in love with it?
HUDA BEAUTY – MATTE POWER BULLET IN MASQUERADE
What: a fantastic no transfer and long-lasting lipstick with an ultra-matte finish. The formula is enriched with almond oil which gives hydration and comfort even on the hottest days.
Why: its amazing aubergine colour is perfect to enhance any complexion. On the lighter ones it will create a splendid and super-sexy contrast, while it will make the darker and tanned skins appear brighter.
LANCÔME L’ABSOLU ROUGE DRAMA MATTE IN OBSESSIVE RED
What: a new product with an innovative formula that combines super pigmentation and ultra-intense colour with absolute lightness. Thanks to the Ultra-Light powder technology the lipstick has a soft velvety texture.
Why: because a woman can’t and must not give up red lipstick, all the more so if it is comfortable and long-lasting, perfect to be flaunted during the summer.
NATASHA DENONA MARK YOUR LIQUID LIPS MATTE ROSSETTO LIQUIDO IN MELTED
What: a liquid lipstick with a soft texture that does not dry lips. It has a matte effect, it is long-lasting, and it gives the feeling of not wearing a lipstick. What more could you ask for?
Why: because a nude lipstick is always useful for when you want to get a natural make-up and be impeccable even after a day at the beach or on a walk. Messy hair won’t be a problem, the focus is on the lips!
ESPRESSOH AROMA ROSSETTO IN MOK’AMOUR
What: a lipstick in which the precious arabica coffee oil is mixed in the formula, giving intense hydration and absolute comfort without having to give up full and rich colour.
Why: those who love coffee always want to carry with them its aroma and colour. This mocha shade is rich in dark and velvety nuances that go very well with both dark complexions and the paler ones.
THE BUDGET FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
YVES ROCHER GRAND ROUGE MAT IN 152
What: a stick that contains a lipstick with a super soft texture that, despite being matte and long-lasting, leaves the lips well hydrated thanks to the presence of camellia oil. The formula is free of parabens and silicones.
Why: its strength is the duration! Intense colour and impeccable lips are guaranteed up to 8 hours, all without causing dryness or discomfort. In addition, the beautiful shade of a bright pink is perfect for the summer and recalls the nuances of flower petals.
DEBORAH MILANO LISTICK FLAIR COLLECTION BY MARCO RAMBALDI IN 01 NUDE BLOOM
What: a Made in Italy creamy lipstick with a luminous finish that gives the lips a vitamin injection thanks to the presence of vitamins A, C and E infused in the formula.
Why: a classic must-have by Deborah is dressed in the creations of Marco Rambaldi, an Italian designer who fills the lipstick packaging with limited-edition hyper-feminine flowers. The shades are inspired by the colours of flowers, including the delicate Nude Bloom, ideal for a super natural look, and are also a tribute to women’s beauty.
PUPA WOW LIPSTICK ROSSETTO TRASFORMISTA IN 011 I WANT TO DARE
What: a liquid lipstick with an almost magical effect. The first coat turns out to have a matte or metallic finish, depending on the colour, while just a gesture with the lips (the same we do to spread the lipstick well) and a shower of glitter completely covers them.
Why: because its transformist and carefree spirit is just what we need for the summer. The desire to change, to dare with something sparkling is expressed in a single product, so you can’t absolutely miss it.
SEPHORA COLLECTION CREAM LIP STAIN EFFETTO NO-TRANSFER IN 78 CHILI PEPPER
What: opaque and long-lasting, this Sephora must-have has a velvety texture and a homogeneous and rich colour. The no-transfer effect makes it warm and kiss-proof.
Why: first of all, for its no-transfer quality, always useful during the summer when we’re dusting up white dresses and tops, but also because there is a vast choice of colors, ready to satisfy all tastes and needs. For the summer, the cheerful and intense orange of Chili Pepper is perfect, because it creates a beautiful harmony with the tan and gives liveliness to those who like to stay under the umbrella.
NYX ROSSETTO LIQUIDO CANDY SLICK IN WATERMELON TAFFY
What: a new collection of liquid lipsticks which is inspired by the super-sweet colours of candies. The finish is bright and luminous that does not dry the lips, and, above all, every lipstick smells like sweets.
Why: the brilliance of this product is ideal for illuminating your beauty look, and its delicate finish is perfect for a soft and delicate make-up. There is also a turquoise shade, excellent for those who want to dare, but we focus on the classic watermelon pink that never disappoints.
