Summer is here, and the heat isn’t just coming from the sun, it’s radiating off the lips this season. Whether you’re poolside or rooftop hopping, these five lip trends are the ultimate statement-makers. Here’s what everyone’s rocking right now:
1. Cherry Purple Lips 🍒💜
Lori Harvey broke the internet last fall with her dreamy purple pout, and now it’s officially the summer slay. It is a mix of a deep cherry base with a pop of electric purple gloss. Fenty Beauty’s purple gloss bombs are also flying off the shelves, making this a go-to for girls who want to stand out without saying a word.
To get the look: Line your lips with a rich berry or plum liner, fill in with a cherry-toned lipstick, and top it with a glossy purple overlay.
2. Bronze Lips
Nothing says golden hour like a bronze lip. This look is for the sun-kissed babes who want a soft, bronzy glow that ties in beautifully with dewy skin and warm-toned makeup. Whether you go matte or glossy, bronze lips give major siren energy.
3. Coloured Lip Oil Glow 🧃💖
Coloured lip oils are running the game this summer. From ELF to Fenty Skin, everyone’s dropping juicy, tinted oils that hydrate while delivering a wash of color. It’s effortless, flirty, and fresh. Perfect for no-makeup makeup days or to throw on between dips in the pool.
My top picks: ELF Glow Reviver Lip Oils or Fenty Skin Cherry Treat Lip Oil for soft, buildable color with max shine.
4. Cherry Cola Lips 🍒🥤
This deep brown and red ombré look is for the girls who like a little drama with their glam. It’s sultry, it’s bold, and it gives main character energy. The outer lip is lined with a rich chocolate brown or pure black, then blended inward with a cherry red center.
5. Glossy Nude Overload 🤎
Glossy nudes are the lip looks that never go out of style. This summer, it’s all about layering. Start with a neutral lip liner, blend in a nude lipstick, and finish with a high-shine gloss. The look is clean, chic, and goes with literally everything.
Professional tip: At laprobeauty, I usually mix pinky nudes and warm caramels depending on my client’s undertone and they love it everytime!
Conclusion
Whether you’re feeling bold with a cherry purple or laid-back with a coloured lip oil, this summer’s lip game is all about versatility, expression, and glow!
