Beauty brands are on the same wavelength if your summer goals of making up for lost time include rotating between a handful of your favorite summer lipstick colors. New lipsticks have been launching at a dizzying rate. And many of the formulas are perfect for summer because they offer sweat-proof, long-wear and won't feel like a mistake — like wearing jeans on a 90-degree day.

Whether you're a fan of matte liquid lipsticks or truly effortless tinted lip balms, the lipstick launches of summer cover all the bases. Ahead, are the 10 best lipsticks to take you through summer.

One of our favorites, the Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Drama Ink Lightweight Liquid Lipstick is lightweight and stays soft thanks to a pinch of rose extract.

Our Picks

Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Drama Ink Lightweight Liquid Lipstick

Lancôme's Rouge Drama Ink might look like the average liquid lipstick, but the high-pigment semi-matte formula offers color payoff that isn't drying. It's infused with rose extract to stay soft and comfortable to wear all day long. Thanks to the curved doe-foot applicator, no lip liner is necessary to prevent bleeding. We love that Rouge Drama Ink comes in 13 different shades so you can pick the one that speaks to you. Soif De Vivre is a soft rose that's like your lips, but better.
