Red, pink, peach or nude—whatever your signature shade may be, we’ve got you covered with our guide to the best new lipsticks of 2024.
As we officially enter the summer season (as in, in the regions that actually have seasons, unlike Malaysia), you may find yourself jetting off more and more in the coming months. Perhaps you’ve got a wedding to attend, or perhaps a long-anticipated beach holiday to relax on—whatever it is, you’ll need to be armed with the right beauty tools. We’ve already covered your travel bag essentials, but what we haven’t yet delved into is your new signature lip.
Ahead, find all the lippies you’ll be proudly sporting throughout the summer, whether you’re headed to festivals, an urban escape or you’re looking to switch up your everyday go-to:
For date night antics: YSL Loveshine Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick, RM180
This viral lipstick is on everyone’s lips—and boy, does it look good! The new Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick is YSL’s most innovative lippy formulation to date, boasting the unmatched shine of a gloss, the caring properties of a lip balm and zero stickiness to boot! It’s infused with incredible ingredients like hydrating hyaluronic acid and plumping pomegranate extract, which come together to create an addictive jelly texture that applies beautifully and delivers rich colour payoff. With seven shades to choose from, you’re set for a certifiably kissable pout for date night!
PS: If you prefer more of a lip-oil texture, YSL Beauté has also launched the Wet Shine Lipstick in its Loveshine collection (RM180 each), a lippy with a creamy, wet-look finish that is infused with six oils for up to 24 hours of hydration and protection. It comes in 11 shades for even more options!
For all-day occasions: Pat McGrath SatinAllure™ Lipstick, RM140
The iconic Pat McGrath Labs SatinAllure™ Lipsticks have been firm favourites of celebs like Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus and more, and now they come in 11 new exciting shades for SS24. Weightless and silky-smooth, the satin finish lippy glides on effortlessly, cushioning and nourishing the lips with its unique infusion of botanical collagen and passion fruit oil. Plus, its lusciously pigmented formula guarantees intense colour payoff with every application. Wear it all day and through the night—we promise it’s not going anywhere!
For every single day (no joke): Sisley Phyto-Lip Balm, RM230
The all-new Phyto-Lip Balm from Sisley is every girl’s multitasking dream lippy. With three unique shades that adapt to your lip’s pH (1 Cloud, 2 Pink Glow and 3 Crush), the Phyto Lip Balm works two-fold to dress up your pout while delivering long-lasting hydration and nutrition protection against dryness. It’s supercharged with comforting actives, including the hydro-booster complex, shea butter and a vitamin E derivative which come together to create its delightful, melt-in texture. Essentially, if there’s one product you can pop in your purse that truly does it all, this is it.
For a special occasion: Hermès Beauté Rouge Hermès in 75 Rouge Amazone
This exquisite, limited-edition creation from Hermès Beauté is the perfect example of craftsmanship. Firstly, its shade is one close to the heart of the house; a heroic red of unparalleled intensity, inspired by the Amazons of Greek mythology who personify liberation and power. The texture of the bullet’s formulation further reflects this idea, boasting a velvety and powdery matte finish that packs a pigmented punch with every swipe for a precise, bold red lip every time.
Plus, designed by Pierre Hardy, the iconic Duc Attelé is intricately engraved on the lipstick bullet itself—an unmatched showcase of the house’s mastery. It’s an object that is made for the exceptional.
Available at Hermés boutiques and exclusively at Hermés counters in Parkson Pavilion Elite Kuala Lumpur and Seibu, The Exchange TRX.
For lazy office days: Kosas Weightless Lip Colour Nourishing Satin Lipstick, RM145
While this isn’t a new lippy per se, it is new to Malaysia! Kosas is among the many brands to join KL’s beauty roster in 2024, and this lippy is a must-have from its cult-favourite lineup. Plumping, hydrating and smoothing, this clean, comfy lipstick comes packed with super nourishing botanical butters and oils for a satiny smooth, creamy, weightless finish. It’s available in six shades, ranging from pinks to corals to true nudes, each of which will help you look perfectly put together without needing a full face.
For the beach-bound: Pixi Beauty +Hydra LipTreat Tinted Lip Balm
This sheer, buildable tinted lip balm is the perfect companion for summer, allowing you to rock bolder shades without fear of looking “too much”. It comes in gorgeous, eye-catching shades like the fresh and juicy ‘Peach-y’, the grunge-inspired ‘Nectar’, and the striking ‘Scarlet’ and ‘Poppy’ for the more daring beauty lover, and subtler hues like the rose-tinted ‘Rosette’ or even pigment-less ‘Clear’ for the more naturally-inclined. Moisturising and nourishing, each use leaves your lips soft, plump and kissable. It’s perfect whether you’re lounging by the pool or ocean, adding the fun pop of colour you’ll need while you’re soaking up the sun.
