A Non-Greasy Lipstick to Wear at the Beach

When it’s sticky out, the last thing you want is a greasy lipstick. To prevent your summer lip color from sliding and bleeding all over your face, consider switching from the heavy, matte lipsticks of winter to lighter options, such as Burberry Beauty’s Lip and Cheek Bloom. Its texture can best be described as a light cream jelly — something that would be disgusting if it were on a restaurant menu, but on your lips it’s perfect. Its unique texture enables the Glow to work equally well on the lips and cheeks. When nicely blended on your cheeks, this gives you that pretty post-boxing workout glow. Dab it on the center of the lips and your pout looks extra vibrant, velvety, full, and luscious. (The product also comes in six bold colors including orange poppy and, my personal favorite, a fuchsia named Purple Tulip.) Since it’s not formulated with the usual slippery oils found in lipstick, the Glow also won’t give you Joker-like smears as the day goes on. Even if you’re at the beach.
