You don't have to be a beauty aficionado to divine a clear pattern from the summer 2019 lipsticks and glosses: being bold is in. How you go about that boldness is up to you, though. As July turns up the heat, colors continue to rise, lip glosses sparkle brighter, and even luxury brands like Christian Louboutin find a way to sneak glitter into its formulas.

However, it's also clear that traditional lipsticks aren't the only option anymore when it comes to finishing off a full face of makeup. Chalk it up to the power of no-makeup makeup dynamo, Glossier — which launched two new shades of its cult-favorite Lip Gloss on July 9. Now, it's just as trendy to complete your look with a swipe of gloss or balm; and you have more brands than ever to choose from to help you create a glassy, hydrated pout.

The power of a classic red lip hasn't waned, though. Clé de Peau Beauté's new Radiant Liquid Rouge shades prove this simple fact of life (and they still allow you to choose between a trendy gloss or a subtle matte finish). Same goes for a skin-complementing nude shade, or a pink shimmer you can wear every single day. To explore what summer 2019 has to offer your lips, keep on scrolling — 10 new lipsticks and glosses are ahead.

Clé de Peau Beauté

Radiant Liquid Rouge Shine in Red Currant

$50

Clé de Peau Beauté's luxe new lipstick — Radiant Liquid Rouge — offers up 18 shades and two different finishes: matte and shine. Either way, your lips are bound to love the formula's moisturizing argan oil and shea butter.

Tarte

H2O Gloss in Salt Lyfe

$19

You'll want to keep Tarte's newest H2O Gloss shades in your purse *forever*. For summer 2019, the makeup brand added pink-hued lip glosses to the collection, making it so much easier to find your perfect everyday gloss.

Glossier

Lip Gloss in Red

$14

Who could resist Glossier's latest lip tint? The cult beauty brand expanded its fan-favorite gloss by adding this scarlet shade and a soft glitter (appropriately named "Holographic"), just in time for this summer's no-makeup makeup looks.

ColourPop

Cherry Pickin Lippie Tint

If you only want a hint of creamy color, it's hard to beat the price of ColourPop's new fruit-inspired Lippie Tints. Just one retails for $7, while the duos go for only $12.

Christian Louboutin

Moona Loubiglittergloss

$85

Louboutin's new (and temptingly limited-edition) Loubiglittergloss shades are not for the faint of heart: The six high-shine colors are packed with iridescent and holographic glitters.

Pat McGrath Labs

LUST: Mini Lip Fetish Lip Balm Trio

$25

Although the balm formula isn't new, this affordable bundle is — though you probably already know that getting your hands on three hydrating Pat McGrath Labs lip colors for $25 is a steal.

Make Up For Ever

Artist Nude Creme

$20

Make Up For Ever's recently launched liquid lipstick collection zeroes in on skin-complementing nudes and pinks; better yet, it promises to apply in just one swipe of the applicator.

MAC Cosmetics

Love Me Lipstick / Mary J. Blige

$19

Sure, you may just want MAC Cosmetics' new "French Silk" shade because it was created in part by Mary J. Blige herself. However, it's also a way to try out the brand's new Love Me Lipstick formula, which claims to be lightweight *and* hydrating.

Charlotte Tilbury

Hot Lips Lipstick 2 in Viva La Vergara

$37

While Charlotte Tilbury's newest lip shades were only released at the end of June, they've already garnered quite a fanbase. Each one gets its name from an icon, too — like this dramatic wine-hued shade inspired by Sofia Vergara.

Lano

Hydrating Lip Luminiser in Beach Pop

$13.50

Lano's new Hydrating Lip Luminisers build upon the legacy created by the brand's iconic, lanolin-filled balms; the sensitive skin-friendly formula adds tons of shimmer and moisture to your pout.
