Trend: Bright Summer Lips

I love rotating my makeup wardrobe throughout the seasons, especially lip colour. Moving from dark reds in the winter, to nudes in the spring, then bright corals and pinks in the summer. Here is a quick round up of the lipsticks I have been working my way through over the past couple of months..

Keyvn Aucoin - Matte Pink - 'Forever'
This is the boldest pink I own, and is saved for when I can be bothered to top up such a hard to wear lip stick. Even though the ingredients are paraben free and is meant to reduce fine lines, I find this lipstick quite heavy to wear and almost a heavy wax. But when I've applied it 'just right', its a great summery colour

Face Stockholm - Coral - 'Gladje'
I wear this bright coral pink often with subtle golden eye shadow, and often chose it when I'm wearing my coral summer dresses. It has a moisturising finish, which is a nice change from the many mattes I have in my collection!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Sheer Coral - '497 Intrepide'
This is the perfect sheer coral to take with you on a summery day out. Its so easy to apply and has a gentle sheer finish, so isn't too over powering. Its makes just enough of a pretty statement. This is one of my favourite lipsticks.

Charlotte Tilbury - Matte Rose Pink - 'Amazing Grace'
This is the least bright colour in my summer range, but still offers a strong lip finish. I love the texture and longevity of the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipsticks, and this 'vintage tea rose' shade is great when you want to go for the sophisticated and elegant look.

Tom Ford - Matte Red - 'Flame'
This is such a gorgeous lipstick, it has the perfect amount of orange in the red, to make it a summer yet glamorous shade. I never need to wear lip liner with it, as right from the first swipe it makes a perfect outline. So expensive, but such a good product.
