Bright and bold lips dominated the spring summer runway. From the sultry shades at Anna Sui to the sweet hues at Marchesa, when it came to runway beauty trends it was clear that statement lipsticks would be what every Sephora fanatic would be stocking up on this season.
But, while these hot hues are undoubtedly in, the face-melting heat of summer can make them hard to keep on. So we’ve researched and reached out to find the lipsticks what will stick through the sweltering heat to give you the perfect pout from sunrise to sunset.
Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks

Elizabeth Street Comsmetics, Divisadero
Ultra dark lipstick is one of our favorite shades for summer and Divisadero by Kelly Crispen, of Elizabeth Street Cosmetics, is not only the perfect berry hue but it is also infused with vitamin e and natural vanilla.
KIKO Milano, BB Lip Glaze
We are well aware of KIKO Milano’s cult following, so we were inclined to take beauty blogger and makeup artist Mary Winkenwerder of Ultimate Report at her word when she told us their BB Lip Glaze was “a summer marathon, stay-on, lip product [...] with a non-sticky, long-wearing solution in sweltering heat.”
