Make Up Games – Summer Lips


Over the hot summer months, you need to be vigilant about protecting all of your skin, but your lips in particular. These highly sensitive parts of your body can dry out quickly and can become irritated in the sun at times. Your best bets for protecting your lips is to keep them moisturized and look for lip balms with sunscreen. In fact, you don’t really need to put anything on your lips at all outside of a simple coat of lip balm with sunscreen when you’re out during the day – after all, few people wear lipstick to the beach.

Of course, when it’s nighttime you’ll want to dress up those summer lips a bit more. Once the sun is down, you don’t need to worry as much about protecting them from the elements, but you still want to be sure that you’re donning a fashionable lip color for the summer months. Heavy lipsticks and bright reds aren’t as suitable for summer as they are for fall. Instead of lipstick, stick to your light lip glosses in a pretty pink or peach color. The end result is fun and youthful, but the shine and shimmer will definitely make your lips look luscious and easy to kiss.
