We’re loving the light-hearted nature of beauty right now.
There’s also a playful element of fun that promotes wearing what you love, and not feeling too constrained with ‘rules’ about what to apply and when.
Helped along by the hot and sunny climate in the northern hemisphere, there’s a growing favour for balmy and glossy lip products that enhance the look of lips without adding full pigment.
The lip products have a varying degree of transparency, but shine is the key factor, leaving lips looking full and juicy.
Poppy brights – think cherry and watermelon hues – that look daring in the tube but swipe on sheer are top of the most-wanted list, looking great on everyone.
A high level of nourishing ingredients also means they are comfortable to wear and even better – plenty can be applied without a mirror, a plus when you’re on the go.
They can also be slicked on over a lip liner for a touch more staying power and definition. Plenty of taste-makers are leaving the center of lips bare and just lining the outter edge of lips before applying the shiny product over top for a plumping effect.
Heed our prediction, we’ll be wearing the below shades all summer long!
