18 Lipstick Colors You’ll Want To Wear All Summer Long

“For bright matte lip colors, I always grab Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet,” says Mellinger. “Currently I am particularly loving it in First Light, an intense orange-red.”

For celebrity makeup artist Renée Loiz, it’s about adding a “color punch” to your natural lip shade. “This balm feels like butter on your lips and the colors are bringing summertime vibes for sure,” Loiz says.

Celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendaño says bolder colors like fuchsia in a variety of finishes — sheer, glossy, matte, you name it — are going to be go-to summer shades. His pick is this matte liquid lipstick. “I love Huda Beauty Lipsticks,” says Avendaño. “They have such a velvety texture and bold colors.”

“Don’t let the name fool you—this balm can pack a punch,” says Mellinger. “The color is buildable, and it feels fantastic on the lips. Their fuchsia is just the right shade of bright pink and is universally flattering on everyone.”

“If you're more like me, I love softer blush and pink hues with cool undertones, or a pretty gloss,” says makeup artist and co-founder of CTZN Cosmetics Naseeha Khan. Her pick is this lip duo, which has a matte neutral lipstick with a hint of mauve on one end and a corresponding gloss on the other if you’re feeling something with more shine.

Who doesn’t love a good two-in-one? You get both lipstick and matching liner with this lip duo. The highly pigmented red goes on bright and has a smooth matte finish that is perfect for a fun summer night out.

“I’ve been loving Kesha’s makeup line Kesha Rose for its pops of color and great pigment,” says celebrity makeup artist Neil Scibelli. “It includes the perfect orangey-red lip, which can be worn from day to night [and] it also comes with a beautiful shine topper if you decide to go glossy.”

This coral peach shade has summer happiness written all over it. It goes on bright and smooth for a matte finish, but you’ll also find lip-nourishing ingredients like Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomile flower oil.

Avendaño also likes bright reds for this summer and loves this lipstick with a vinyl finish. “[These] are awesome because they’re moisturizing [and] have a glossy texture, but also have good color payoff,” he says.

“Milani’s Color Fetish shine lipsticks are one of my favorites right now, especially for summer,” says Scibelli. “They’re a bit more like a shine-balm meets lipstick, infused with fruit oils and shea butter. So they’re hydrating with great color payoff.”

A bright fiery red is a great way to dress up denim cutoffs. This matte lipstick from UOMA gives the ultimate color payoff while also delivering moisture via wild mango butter.

This deep pink is bold in all the right ways. Thanks to its precision brush, one swipe is all you need to get high-impact color that will last hours.

Forget a Barbie dreamboat. A Barbie pink lipstick is where it’s at. The deep neon shade goes on matte and looks flattering on a wide range of skin tones.

The Lip Maestro from Armani is pretty much fail-proof. It has a creamy velvet texture that feels so smooth and even though it has a matte finish, it won’t dry out your lips. This summer, it comes in three new shades.

This light pink is light, airy, and super fun to wear. You get the highly pigmented shade in one stroke and your lips won’t be dried out from the intense color.

Prefer a matte finish? This lipstick will give you the velvety finish you love, but since there’s cocoa butter in the formula, it won’t emphasis any lip lines or flakes. Makeup artist Ash K. Holm says that this blue-based red looks great on a wide range of skin tones.

If you’re not into traditional lipstick, this balm-like product might just change your mind. It’s the kind of sheer, low-maintenance berry shade that you can easily re-apply on-the-go without a mirror — but you can also build up the color for more impact.

Since the ‘90s are everywhere this season, take this deep mocha hue for a whirl.
