9 Edgy Black Lipsticks For Summer

I'm not the only one who has been seeing it everywhere this spring: black lipstick has become the new It lipstick color, ladies and gents. Say goodbye to pastels and hello to gorgeous punk for the summertime. If you want to get like Rihanna or Katy Perry, here are nine black lipsticks for summer. Who says you have to go brighter for the warmer months ahead?

While we can always expect Rihanna to be a little edgy with her makeup choices, black lipstick has been showing up in more unexpected ways. First, Katy Perry debuted a black lip on the 2016 Met Gala red carpet, along with the typically sweet Taylor Swift. They're not the only ones, however. I've spotted the dark lip on many stars lately, from Poppy Delevingne to Rose Byrne and even America's sweetheart Rachel McAdams. What does it all mean? It's official: Black lips for summer is a thing, y'all.

While it may sound too heavy and dark, there's plenty of reasons why black during warm weather works. It's an easy way to amp up your look without putting in tons of time and effort. It's a versatile product — you can use a black liquid lipstick as an eyeliner or even eyeshadow. And lastly, black is a chic neutral that looks beautiful on everyone, from fair to deep skin tones.

Below are my favorite black lipsticks for the summertime.
