In warm weather you don’t want to wear too much heavy make-up so it’s the perfect time to toss aside you matte lipsticks and try something lighter.
Sheer lipsticks give a softer look and can really compliment a summer tan.
Here are some our favourites.
Giorgio Armani Sheer Lipstick
This gorgeous sheer enhances the natural tone of the lips, it glides on and has a wonderful smooth, silky texture. I tried no 33 Rouge Transparent which delivered a very flattering translucent colour that would suit most skin tones.

Clinque Almost Lipstick 06 Black Honey
This one has been around a long time and is still worth a mention, although it looks scary in the packaging, almost black, the results are anything but. It goes on sheer almost like a gloss but it is much easier to apply, and gives a purpley/brown stain which can be layered to achieve a different tone.
€18.50 from Clinique counters nationwide.
Estee Lauder Gloss Stick – Berry Pink
If you’re looking for bright, bold glossy lips then you’ll love this new gloss-stick from Estee Lauder. This lipstick/gloss combination is a real triumph and is now my new purse staple. With its creamy, glossy consistency it’s easy to apply and delivers a great burst of colour to lips and best all one application should take you through the day. I tried the berry pink which is perfect for a Summer look but it comes in 12 great shades and I will definitely be purchasing more from this range. Love it!
€22.00 from Estee Lauder counters natiowide.
L’Oreal Glam Shine 6 Hour Gloss– Blush Mania
I'm sure every teenager in the country already owns this glamtastic product from L' Oreal. This high shine gloss has tonnes of sparkle and while it may not be suitable for a work environment, it’s a great fun product for a night out.
