Top Lipsticks to wear in Summer
Wearing any makeup in the summer can feel completely unnecessary, if not downright painful at times. Sweat can cause chaos on a look that took a lot of time and work to achieve, especially in this heat and humidity (something not many of us cares to expend post-pandemic). There are a wealth of lightweight and long-lasting formulaic options where there is makeup-busting weather.

Despite being ultra-matte, this bullet formula is silky to the touch and wonderfully comfortable on the lips. Plus, that soft orange colour screams “poolside party” like no other.
