Pink Lips - My Go-To's...


With today of course being Valentine's Day, I thought I'd be stereotypical and compile all of my top favourite pink lipsticks! Alongside Red, Pink is a classic colour for Valentines so it's pretty cliche, I know, but Valentine's aside - I love myself a good pink lip all year round - so I certainly don't mind the opportunity to share the makeup love...

SLEEK MATTE ME LIP CREAM IN 'FRENCH FANCY' - This liquid lipstick from Sleek is first up as it's perhaps the most 'beginner-friendly' one of them all. Perhaps if you're new to this whole 'pink lip' thing - this warm, mid-toned candy pink could be just perfect for you! It's still got that brightness and vividness to it, but it's certainly not as dark, bold and 'in yer face' as some of the other options in this round-up!

JEFFREE STAR COSMETICS VELOUR LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'PROM NIGHT' - Moving onto the super bright, bold pink lips - we obviously have to start off with this one right here. I decided to pick this out as one of my Birthday presents from my Parents last year and I'm really glad I did. A true bright, blue-based, Barbie pink - it's such a stunning colour, I love it! I really love the formula of the liquid lipsticks from JSC aswell and this one is certainly no exception - fully opaque in one layer, dries down to a super matte finish that's still comfortable and non-drying and lasts so well on the lips too!

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY MATTE INK LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'ROMANTIC' - Another from the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink range - this time, a shade that's near-identical to the above one from Jeffree Star Cosmetics! It's perhaps a drop warmer and less truly blue-based than 'Prom Night', but once applied on the lips the effect is pretty much the same - hence why it's another strong go-to of mine! The formula of these liquid lipsticks from Maybelline is just bang-on too. They're so rich and full in pigment and opaqueness and don't take long to set down to a finish that does not budge all day or night long. They're not completely powdery matte - they do retain a slight patent-like shine - but if anything that just makes them even more comfortable to wear and trust me, they're possibly one of the most long-lasting formulas out there!

SLEEK MATTE ME LIP CREAM IN 'THAT'S SO FETCH' - If a deeper, more raspberry pink is more what you're after - look no further than this one, again from Sleek's range of matte liquid lipsticks! As I just said, this is the deepest, richest pink of this whole line-up - but it's still not too dark and vampy though! And for such a rich colour, it applies so evenly and opaque in colour, which definitely isn't always the case with shades like these! The formula and finish is just as awesome as 'French Fancy' so really, you can't go wrong...

BARRY M MATTE ME UP LIQUID LIP PAINT IN 'PINKSPLOSION' - Finally, I just had to throw in this gorgeous colour from Barry M. This is also very similar to the two bright, hot pinks above - although this time, I'd say this one is perhaps the brightest of them all. It's almost neon! Perhaps making this the less easy and foolproof to wear, but it's super fun and hey - ain't that just what makeup is supposed to be all about? As I've said many times before, these liquid lipsticks from Barry M remain one of my favourite formulas. They're so matte in finish that they're completely transfer-proof and last almost impeccably on the lips throughout the day, yet the're not uncomfortable at all and don't make your lips look as dry as the desert - what is always what you want, right?
