12 Expert-Approved Coral Lipsticks
1. Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Colour in Soft Coral, £28
“This is such an easy-to-wear shade of coral that looks amazing against tanned skin. It is always the empty pan in my lipstick palette because it’s so perfect for spring or summer shoots. Darker skin tones should try mixing it with another shade to add a bit of depth.” – Camilla Hewitt, Make-Up Artist & Health Writer

2. Axiology Organic Lipstick in Bonafide, £29
“This is one of the most eco-chic lipsticks on the planet. Not only is it highly pigmented, bright and happy, it’s also vegan, cruelty-free and made from sustainable ingredients. And to top it off – the packaging is eco-friendly, too.” – Em-J, Celebrity & Vegan Pro Make-Up Artist

3. Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in 414, £31
“This is my favourite of all time. This one from Chanel is a true coral with medium coverage, so it’s ideal for the summer. Hydrating, while making the lips look really dynamic with a strong flash of vivid colour, it works perfectly with glowing skin and warm cream bronzers.” – Mary Greenwell, A-List Make-Up Artist & Beauty Expert

4. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Sexy Sienna, £25
“I love Charlotte Tilbury’s Sexy Sienna for a natural, modern coral. It’s not too bright, so all skin tones and ages can pull it off. You can also adapt the tone and make it more of a nude with a beige gloss, or more of a bright coral with an orange gloss. It’s incredibly versatile.” – Hannah Martin, Make-Up Artist

5. Lipstick Queen Saint Lipstick in Coral Red, £22
“This velvety lipstick means you don’t have to choose between shine and colour – it delivers both, with a buildable pigment. You can either wear it as a balmy glaze, or layer it up for a pretty, just-bitten coral tint. Shea butter and jojoba oils lock in hydration, too, so you never have to worry about it sinking into cracks or dry skin. It works on every skin tone and is especially flattering against a tan.” – Rebecca Hull, Beauty Editor at SheerLuxe

6. Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick in Core Cora, £27
“This is quite a vibrant coral, so not one for the faint hearted, but you can mute its tone by pressing it into the lips for a softer pigment. Ideal for summer, it brightens up your whole complexion, looks great against tanned skin and has a hydrating formula that provides long-lasting colour and moisture. A must-have.” – Cher Webb, Make-Up Artist & Beauty Influencer

7. Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lipstick in Tell Laura, £25
“My favourite coral is this one from Charlotte Tilbury. It’s quite a fiery, hot shade of coral, but it has a matte finish, which makes it look cool and modern. Great for summer and it also makes your teeth look very white – bonus!” – Sophie Tilley, Make-Up Artist, Writer & Beauty Tailor

9. Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick in Fever Dream, £35
“You can’t beat this rich coral which leaves a vivid stain on the lips for hours. It delivers a lightweight veil of opaque colour that can be built up for a more impactful finish. Or, dab it on with your finger for a tone that’s more muted.” – Zoe Taylor, Make-Up Artist & Founder of Tinker Taylor Beauty
