All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.

BEST FOR ALL SKIN TONES

Pure Color Crème Lipstick In 'Defiant Coral', £31 | Estée Lauder 

A true coral, this suits a range of skin tones. Beautifully dimensional and silky to apply, make it your go-to for a high-shine finish and plumping feel. Plus, it’s formulated using the brand’s ‘moisture lock complex’ and a blend of nourishing oils for smooth and healthy lips.

Available at Boots.com


BEST FOR EASY APPLICATION

Velvet Matte Lip Pencil In ‘Red Square’, £23 | NARS Cosmetics

While ‘Dragon Girl’ is a cult favourite, we’re also big fans of ‘Red Square’ for high summer. Effortless to use thanks to its crayon-style packaging, simply scribble it on and blend it out with your fingers for a soft finish – or take a slightly more detailed approach by using it to line the lips, before filling them in.

BEST PINKY RED

Rouge Pur Couture In ‘52’, £35 | Yves Saint Laurent

Another coral, but this time with pinkier undertones, this is best for those who prefer their reds on the subtler side – and no orange tones in sight. Don’t let its gloss-like formula fool you – the wear-time is seriously impressive, lasting for up to six hours at a time.
