Summer is here and as you drag out all the summer dresses and shorts from the back of your closet, it is also the time to stack up on your summer make-up. The season is all about bright colours that pop, and hence we believe that your nail paint and lip colours should also be in tune with the sunshine.

Here are our top-five lip colours to add to the fun of the season.

Reds

Nothing screams glamour the way red does and that is why it makes to the top of our lips. Be it on the red carpet or when it comes to street style, red lips never go out of fashion. The colour goes well with formal attires and is also a perfect fit for casual Fridays.

Electric Orange

If you are tired of classic red shades, this might just end up being your new favourite. Electric orange and tangerines were big on the runway this season and they are vibrant and perfect for the summer.

Pinks

If you are not a fan of red or orange, pinks are you best friends. Right from fuchsia to dusty rose, pink lip colours go with pretty much all the outfits and also make your lips pop.

Purple

Purple lips have been big of late. No, we are not talking about the shade that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan received much flak for on the Cannes red carpet. While that shade might not have gone down too well with many, we are talking of a darker tone. The shade looks stunning especially when worn for formal occasions.

Nude

If you are someone who likes subtle shades, nudes are your go-to colours. The colour complements all skin tones and with this, you will also have a chance to play up your eyes.
