An ultra bright pink is such a joyful shade, and it's one of the quintessential summer lip colors. Pale pink is nice for spring, but an electric shade is perfect for summer. As long as you keep the rest of your makeup routine minimal, don't be afraid to go for a loud lipstick.

A red hot lip is clearly a perfect choice for summer because it is the color most closely associated with heat and fire. Instead of wearing a darker brick color in the summer, it's best to go for a truly bright shade, like fire engine red.
