Move over, matte. Metallic lipsticks are this summer's biggest makeup trend. And like us, we're sure you are going to fall in love with the bold and shiny statement lips which were all over the SS17 runways.
 
If you follow makeup trends, you would have seen this coming for a few seasons now. First, we saw gloss nudging aside the matte lip and making a very welcome comeback. Pat McGrath led the venture into glitter pouts - remember those vibrant glittery red lips? Beautiful and bold - but not so wearable. The new breed alternative was shimmery and iridescent hues in glosses - which took glistening to a whole new level (have you seen the divine Lime Crime Diamond Crushers?).
 
We didn't have to wait long before the next level chrome and metallic lipsticks became incredibly trendy. And the best bit? Whether you are looking for a subtle nude, a chic metal hue or a bold red (or blue), the shade choices are endless. And even better - these lippies have many bonus benefits like moisturising, plumping and smoothing out fine lines too.
 
There's no better reason to swop your favourite matte shades for a gleaming one. Just choose your preferred look - lights, brights or pure metals - and pick one (or two or three) of our favourite new, statement-making metallic lipsticks and glosses to swipe on this summer.
