The best summer makeup looks are all about natural radiance and low-maintenance beauty. When you’re out and about on the beach, or sipping champagne all day at a wedding, you want a look that requires minimum touch-up and looks fresh whatever the weather. One of the best summer switches you can make is swapping your matte lip colour for an easy lip gloss. A high-shine lip colour requires a less precise application, making it a good choice for touching up on the move; just team with a bronzed complexion (check out the best bronzers here) and beachy summer waves.

5 of the Best Lip Glosses

Burberry Kisses Gloss
If you’re prone to dry lips, this Burberry Kisses Lip Gloss is a great option for you; it gives a high-shine finish with a hit of hydration. It’s a favourite in my kit because it’s really easy to reapply and isn’t at all sticky.
Kevyn Aucoin The Lip Gloss
As well as plumping lips and giving a high shine, pigmented finish, this gloss contains vitamin E and sunflower, rosemary and castor seed oil extracts to soften and condition lips; making it a perfect summer choice.


Becca Glow Gloss
The angled tip of this applicator makes it really easy to apply; and the light-reflecting pigments make it one of the best lip glosses for a seriously high-shine look. Plumping peptides give lips a smoother-looking finish, too.
Chanel Rouge Allure Ink
The newest liquid lip colour from Chanel is a great alternative if you want the ease of a gloss, but the finish of a matte lip colour this season; not only is there a great range of colour, it’s easy to apply and gives a sophisticated matte finish. I’ve been loving shade 140, Amoureux, which is a really wearable shade for daytime.


YSL Share Vernis à Lèvres Vinyl Cream Liquid Lipstick
One of the original glossy stains that made the crossover between lipstick and lip gloss, YSL’s liquid lipstick delivers a hit of highly-pigmented glossy lip colour with the ease of a lip gloss but the longevity of a lipstick. Serious staying power and easy to top up on the move.
