Professional makeup artists have been told that the look for the season is metallics teamed with browns or corals on the lips.
Ariane Poole, a celebrity makeup artist who has worked with names such as Penelope Cruz, Catherine Zeta Jones, Uma Thurman and Yasmin Le Bon, shared her tips on the latest summer trends when it comes to the face.
She recommended lip balms, but told professional makeup artists that lip stains are too "drying" in the summer heat.
"If you were going for metallics on your eyes you could even go for something like a sheer coral colour on your lips, or you could go for a lovely brown colour," she mused.
Ms Poole explained that, while the brown shade would look "a little dead" on the mouth in winter, it's offset with the metallic shades, a tan and peachy blush, it really works.
In an article for the Daily Telegraph, Kate Shapland recently explained that pastel shades from soft aqua to mauve are having a renaissance in eyeshadow palettes.
