2016 has been all about lips, lips - and more lips. The bigger and bolder, the better. A beautiful red lip paired with a fresh dewy face and wide eyed lashes has been the major killer look for this year.

In the summer shows, we saw lips upping their game even more. We have absolutely adored the matte finishes but, like you, are ready for a switch up before total boredom sets in. So we are thrilled to see the glossy lip staging a very welcome comeback. Matte is still around, but high shine, lacquered finishes are the absolute latest trend to try. Really good news for us girls who want the best of both worlds -  a super sleek and sophisticated (and much more approachable) gloss for the day which can morph into a dramatic matte lip for your party alter ego.

Like us, are you in love with both looks but don't know which to choose? It all depends upon what you want. Glosses have gotta be the easiest lip product to apply, they add much needed moisture to dry lips and, best of all, all that shine plumps them up to look fuller and more yummy. But if you want to scream 'statement', then matte is the way to go. A bold, matte lip can elevate your whole look without doing much else. Plus, their longer lasting power means less touch ups.

We've rounded up the best of both in all the trending shades for this summer. And go on - you know you want both.....we do!
