Let's face it, a good lipstick can truly set off your outfit. Whether it's a subtle sheen or a bright and eye-popping statement, the right lipstick is everything. We’ve researched the Internet for the most luxurious brands. Let’s take a look at the best summer lip colors to accessorize any outfit or occasion.

The best lipsticks contain non-toxic, natural ingredients due to their eco-friendly qualities. There are generally five ingredients to avoid when purchasing a lipstick. These include: lead, parabens, petroleum wax, animal ingredients and artificial colors. Lead is used to make the color last longer, but it’s also a toxic which isn’t healthy when absorbed into the skin. Parabens are a preservative which are also linked to disrupting the hormone system.

Petroleum wax can cause allergic reactions, and dries out the skin. However, this is used to create a glossy shine. Artificial colors are linked to cancer, skin allergies and irritations. Mainly derived from heavy metals such as lead, aluminium, barium potassium and strontium, it gives lipstick its enchanting color. Avoid animal ingredients as they’re known to cause allergies and skin irritations. Also, they’re involved in killing beetles.

Now that you know what to avoid when selecting the best summer lip colors, let's explore what's on the market. We've selected a variety of shade and brands to complement a number of different complexions and preferences.
