Topshop Beauty Sheer Lips, $16, are pigmented enough to look like your typical lipstick, but just as moisturizing as everyday lip balm thanks to conditioning argan oil and cheery fruit extract. This pinky red is the perfect balance between subtle and bright. Be prepared for people to stop you to ask what shade you're wearing (speaking from experience).

This light peach color brings island vibes for a low-maintenance summer makeup look. Add bronzer, some tousled waves, and just think of your cubicle as your own private cabana.

At this point you've probably heard five times over that nude lips are in for summer, so I won't bore you with details. Just know, this is the nude lip shade you need to try. The color is just rich enough that you won't have to worry about being washed out.

This rich pink shade is flattering on any skin tone. It gives you just enough flush of color that you can get away with saying, "I woke up like this."
After a long winter of darkness (both outside and in my makeup routine) I'm ready for summer makeup collections full of light pastel washes and punchy brights. Enter Topshop Beauty's summer 2014 makeup collection and I'm head over heels in love with each and every piece. Topshop's new Sheer Lips, Lip Varnish and Lip Paints were inspired by the iconic lips of model Kate Moss (the perfect match for all the Kate Moss for Topshop fashions perhaps?). And while the lip colors are nothing short of wow-worthy in bold colors and both matte and glossy finishes, the pastel nail polishes in the summer makeup collection are perfectly understated. The Best part? Every piece is under $25. I'm making a vow right here and now to forsake pricey department store makeup (well, at least for now) and head straight to the mall for my summer beauty look.
