10 Absolutely Irresistible Summer Lipstick Colors

I've barely been at POPSUGAR for a month, and I already have a reputation to uphold when it comes to wearing bright lipstick. This long-wearing hot pink shade from Nars ($26) is an old standby. The semi-matte formula is just creamy enough to prevent a cracked smile, while the blue-based hue keeps my teeth from looking yellow. The fact that it matches my favorite purse is just a bonus.
