Whether you’re preparing your carry-on or your clutch for an evening meal al fresco, you’ll want to pack a lipstick. That’s why we’ve rounded up this summer’s most desirable luxury lipsticks that promise hydrating formulas and handbag-friendly packaging.
The house of Hermès continues to enchant with its seasonal lipstick drops, and this year’s Brillant à Lèvres collection is a warm-weather dream. Lightweight with a luminous finish, shades like Rose Gélatine and Beige Tadelakt deliver sheer, buildable colour infused with hydrating mulberry oil. Wrapped in colour-blocked packaging designed by Pierre Hardy, it’s wearable art.
Dior’s new Coral Bloom shade is part of its summer capsule, offering long-wearing colour with a soft matte finish that doesn’t dry the lips. Encased in the couture cannage motif, this is the lipstick you’ll wear from golden hour to moonlit dinners.
Guerlain’s Rouge G line is the ultimate in customizable lip luxury, and the Dusty Pink shade is a summer must. Its velvety texture and radiant finish make it a summer essential, delivering bold colour with every swipe.
Refreshed with six new hues, including the subtle Tender Peach, this balm‑lipstick hybrid delivers a plumping shimmer and creamy hydration. Infused with antioxidant-rich oils and a lightweight texture, it delivers a smooth, plumping effect with just the right hint of summer radiance.
