Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick in Freckle Fiesta, £16, Fenty

Samantha, Deputy Beauty Editor: “My two favourite shades of lipstick are browny-nude and orange – and Freckle Fiesta is the perfect mixture of both. It’s a rich terracotta that always gains me compliments, lasts all day and looks out of this world good with a tan.”

Velour Extreme Matte Lipstick in On Point, £22, Laura Mercier
Samantha, Deputy Beauty Editor (again): “Yeah I have two favourites okay! So shoot me. But you honestly can’t make a gal pick just one. This is my ‘I finally faked tanned so let’s make the most of it’ colour. It’s a hawt bright orange shade and honestly makes my bronzed skin look even more sunkissed. It’s a statement, so you only need a sweep of bronzer and some mascara to pair it with. It’ll last you a few hours at least and doesn’t ball when touch-ups are needed, which is rare in a matte.”

‘Everlasting’ Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw, £17, Kat Von D
Lottie, Beauty Editor: “I love wearing lipstick but whenever I do, it somehow ends up smudging within a matter of seconds, which is why this formula is perfect for me. Once it’s dried, it doesn’t budge and the shade is the perfect pillerbox red.”

‘Addict Gradient’ Lipstick in Fuschia Twist, £26.50, Dior
Camilla, Acting Beauty Director: “This is my go-to ‘pop of colour’ shade. It’s a must-have for spring and summer, a sheer wash of colour that’s glossy but not sticky.”
