Keen to showcase their impeccable know-how and skill in this arena, the world’s leading make-up brands have served up some hot new creations to help you welcome the summer months in true style.

Long a master of crafting delightful lipsticks that deliver a perfect pout, luxury maison Dior has unveiled a fresh collection of notably shimmery items – the Dior Addict Stellar Halo Shine. Fashionistas can opt for one of 15 shades, each offering 24-hour hydration and promising notes of vanilla.

For its part, French cosmetics company YSL’s three new limited-edition Rouge Volupté Shine lipsticks promise to embrace the spirit of springtime, with their effortless glide-and-go delivery system ensuring all-day moisture.

With a self-professed eye on “electrifying traditional beauty ideals”, the new Rouge à Lèvres Gothique lipstick from Gucci Beauty features nine dazzling hues, each with names taken from iconic ’20s Hollywood movies and characters.
