10 Summer Lipsticks You Need Now

1 / 10

Vice by Urban Decay

This brand is a favourite of Surmayee’s, so much so that when I asked to borrow someone’s lippy in the office the other day for a photo shoot on our terrace, out popped a UD comfort matte in Backtalk from her handbag. If you can’t bag one of Kylie’s coveted matte lip kits, the sticks from Urban Decay are a sure winner.

 

Available from Urban Decay for $150 a bullet

Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor from MAC

Tried, tested and a true Sassy fave, the black tubes of lippie from MAC litter our office desks and handbags. The Matte Liquid Lipcolors may not be in their signature black tubes, but the formula rocks: it’s non-feathering, non-bleeding, and stays on for up to eight hours. How’s that for long-wearing?! We love the true red shade, Feels So Grand.

 

Available for $195 from MAC counters and stores around town

Tom Ford’s Patent Finish Lip Color

It doesn’t hurt to splurge on a great summer lippy, including this one from Tom Ford. These brand spankin’ new formulas from TF will give you a liquid look and a high-shine finish. These shades are seriously intense, drawing inspiration from deep, rich berry tones. The texture is lightweight and the shades are vibrant: we love it in Erotic, a truly Sassy bright pink, perfect for the season!

 

Available from Tom Ford beauty counters in Lane Crawford Times Square, Lane Crawford Harbour City and the ifc flagship store for $410

Burberry Kisses

Mwah… or xoxo, whichever you prefer! Prep your pout with Burberry Kisses. The satin finish will keep ‘em looking smooth and richly pigmented. Slick on two to three coats for a deeper colour, and the best bit is that it’s infused with rosehip, tea and lavender. Gotta stay moisturised! We love the Claret Pink shade for summer.

 

Available for $250 from Burberry beauty counters around town

Natural Mineral Lip Gloss from Coconut Matter

I. Cannot. Get. Enough. Of. These. Seriously. Coconut Matter has released a range of three tinted lip balms, which are beautifully pigmented and loaded with coconut oil, shea butter and grapeseed oil… it’s actually edible! They glide on so smoothly, they don’t leave your lips looking flaky and dry. I forget I have this stuff on sometimes. My favourite is the pinky-red shade, Sparks.

 

Available for $135 from Coconut Matter online
