Moisturizing lipsticks with a light shine effect and products with bright, saturated shades, a balm that changes color, and a liquid matte lipstick with a glossy texture - the editors of BeautyHack have chosen the most unusual lipsticks that will set off tan and brighten up summer Moscow everyday life.
Moisturizing lip balm with the effect of natural radiance Healthy Glow Lip Balm, Deep, Chanel
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
In summer, we do not expect a rich shade and durability from lipsticks - rather, lightness and shine. And if the composition contains care components, this is doubly pleasant, so my choice most often falls on tint balms.
This product won me over from the first application - a melting texture that gently envelops the lips and does not come off for three hours (for a tint balm without a tint effect - almost a record). The lips become soft and nourished, as if they set us up for kisses and the approach of a new summer romance.
It contains a vitamin E derivative with natural antioxidant properties that will protect your lips from external influences (wind, sun and sand on the beach).
I chose the darkest shade (in the package it looks like a ripe cherry color), but on the lips it is translucent, spreads easily and looks very natural. To achieve even more naturalness, hammer in the product with your fingertips for a fashionable kissed lips effect.
Price: about 3,000 rubles.
Matte lipstick Tatouage Couture Matte Stain # 7 Nu Interdit, Yves Saint Laurent
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
The spring novelty of the brand has become a real discovery for me in the niche of liquid matte lipsticks. Many are accustomed to the incredible durability of matte textures, but they constantly need to be updated - they strive to dry their lips, crack and harden with an uneven layer (which looks very unnatural). With this lipstick, such incidents will not happen - only the pleasure of the matte velvet finish will remain.
Firstly, the product has an original brush with straight edges - it has definitely become easier to paint over the check mark above the upper lip and the corners (the most "problem" areas).
Secondly, this is a real stein - a cross between a tint and a matte sheen. The pigment of the product is very bright, and it stays on the lips for at least 5-6 hours (checked by me!).
What I especially like about this product is the naturalness and comfort on the lips. You do not feel tight, when applied, the product does not harden on the lips, like concrete on the asphalt.
The shade is exactly the same as the color on the package, it lays down in a very thin layer (after 5 minutes you will completely forget that you have lipstick on your lips).
Third, forget about the pencil! The lipstick contour is very clear and does not "float" during the day.
Price: 2 981 rub.
Lipstick Velvetines, Jungle, Lime Crime
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
All the beauty lovers of the world adore these lipsticks, and this is absolutely deserved - incredible durability, unusual shades, an interesting finish and comfort on the lips (and you can read more about the composition here).
This shade fell into my hands in one of the brand's gift sets, and I immediately realized that I would wear it every day in the summer! And so it happened - an unusual color with a light shimmer will refresh any look, suit every make-up option, and it will also shimmer very beautifully in the sun.
Will work well with tanning, especially when applied along with peach blush (you can find the best options here).
Price: about 2,000 rubles.
Powder for lips Poudre A Levres, 410 Rosso Pompeiano, Chanel
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
Spring know-how from Lucia Pica, creative director of makeup for the brand, migrated “without fear or reproach” from my spring makeup bag to my summer one. Outwardly, the product looks very unusual and resembles tempera on Pompeian frescoes rather than ordinary lipstick. But it cannot be called lipstick either - the palette contains a moisturizing balm and dry pigment, which can be mixed.
As a result, the product becomes an indispensable travel companion - apply a solo balm to moisturize your lips (it contains natural esters that instantly make lips soft and plump), mix it with dry pigment and you will see a light creamy shade with a natural shine and drive the pigment into your lips to get the kissed effect.
I have successfully practiced all three options and never get tired of receiving compliments. In the summer I'll take him to the sea - I think a holiday romance will be guaranteed! As an experiment, I applied pigment to the apples of my cheeks - a very natural blush turned out (which perfectly set off the tan).

Tint-lip balm Pink Ghost #Realmagic 006 Presto, Soda
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
The product of the new Chinese brand immediately caught my attention with its cute pink packaging and an unusual shape of the applicator - it is made in the form of a spiral. I will not say that this is convenient - the product has a melting texture, and the polyhedron may break. But for the sake of a fantastic natural effect, I'm ready to endure endlessly!
In the package, the shade is similar to the purple unicorn horn, but do not rush to be intimidated - the balm reacts to the pH of the skin and magically appears on the lips with an individual shade. In my case, it is soft pink with a slight damp shine.
The durability of the product is the same as that of the tint: you can eat and drink - then you just correct the contour.
Price: about 300 rubles.
Lipstick Color Riche Shine, 111, L'Oréal Paris
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Every year, with the arrival of summer, matte lipsticks in muted shades want to be replaced with something bright, juicy and, of course, moisturizing. L'Oreal is picking up the vinyl lip gloss trend with Color Riche Shine lipsticks.
Global Makeup Director Val Garland confirmed that lip gloss combined with a matte foundation will be very relevant in the next few seasons (you can read about other trends from Val here)
Shade 111 seems to personify summer - it will appeal to those who do not like bright accents on the lips, but want to refresh the image by adding shine to it. Lipstick gives the effect of "varnish" without feeling sticky - on the contrary, it seems that the lips are moisturizing balm.
Despite the glossy finish, the product stays firmly on the lips, and the gloss is replaced by a uniform tint. And the main bonus, which many glossy "brothers" cannot boast of, is that the lipstick does not flow out of the lip contour and is very easy to apply even without a mirror.
Price: 640 rub.
Matte Velvet Lipstick, 28 Coco Ravish, Kiss Professional
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
The shade will appeal to those who like it brighter - in the bottle it is a real purple explosion!
On the lips, it can also be like this - for this, apply the product in two layers. The lipstick fits perfectly on the lips, does not dry them out (thanks to the shea butter in the composition) and will easily outlast a glass of water or a thick smoothie.
Girls who are not ready for bright experiments, even in summer, will also like lipstick - it looks less bright in one layer and will complement any makeup - daytime or evening.
Price: 490 rub.
Gel lip tint No Make-Up Gel Tint, RD01 Red, Vprove
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
The product has a very interesting gel texture - the tint easily glides on the lips and is quickly absorbed without residue and leaves a matte pigment (according to Korean technologies).
It contains raspberry and pomegranate extract (sorry, the product does not smell like them). It does not "flow" into wrinkles and cracks, and oils eliminate these problems well - you get a double pleasure: color and hydration. The tint has a convenient applicator, so you can apply the product on the run as well.
The tint does not dry your lips and is very comfortable to wear - in a couple of minutes you will forget that you applied the product to them. But the pigment sticks tightly into the skin and stays with you for the rest of the day. It is important that it does not look alien at all - a light shade will slightly enhance the natural color of your lips and will perfectly fit into the concept of "makeup without makeup", which is always relevant in the hot season.
Price: about 600 rubles.
Lipstick Colorburst Lip Butter, Berry Smoothie, Revlon
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
I love the lipsticks of this British brand since university - a soft creamy texture that literally melts on the lips, delicate shades that only slightly emphasize the natural color, and a wet finish without a sticky effect - what else do you need for a dream lipstick?
The product has a very light formula, and it contains many moisturizing ingredients (shea butter, coconut oil and mango extract).
The Berry Smoothie shade actually resembles a berry dessert in a glass, but on the lips it gives only a slightly noticeable tint and shine - great for light summer makeup or to complement a bright evening look with unusual arrows (for example, such).
Price: about 300 rubles.
Double stick lipstick for lips Vita Color Fruits Roll Stick, 26 VX1, Skinfood
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
This lipstick will surprise you twice: in the middle of the stick there is a dark brown shade, and along the edges there is a bright orange pigment. At the first glance at lipstick, it is difficult to imagine how it will look on the lips. In fact, everything is very simple - when applied, you get an interesting gradient with an ombre effect (which visually enlarges the lips). It turns out a rather vivid image (and the lipstick does not need to be additionally shaded with a brush).
The natural ingredients in the composition are a real delight for your lips: here you can find strawberry extract, coconut oil, and avocado oil together with olive oil. Lips will definitely not dry out during the day! The natural complex of oils helps them retain moisture and protects them from harmful UV rays (a separate plus in the karma of funds for the spring-summer season).
Price: 1 690 rub.
