As much as we hate to admit it, summer is winding down. That doesn’t mean our makeup game is lacking, though! On the contrary, we’ve been searching for the dreamiest lip colors all season, and as the long, warm days are beginning to fade, we can say that we found them—eight in all. There’s nothing easier than swiping on a bright coral lipstick, or a fiery fuchsia, or a rosy hue with a hint of bubblegum pink. It brightens up your face and highlights that bronze glow it’s taken you months to develop. Your lips look, in a word, juicy. Let’s close out summer with a bang with the best lip colors that debuted this season.
Dior Rouge Graphist in 474, $36
A barely-there mauve helps define the lips without overwhelming your face with color. Use just one swipe of this creamy Dior pencil for a long-lasting, foolproof look.
