When I got into makeup I loved experimenting with different bases, blush and especially eye shadow combinations. But I never really got into lipstick much; I didn’t go anywhere near bold lipstick and wouldn’t dream of putting it on in the morning for an everyday look. Now I like wearing lip crayons because the colour can be applied to a sheer finish and I didn’t mind wearing nude and natural pink lipsticks. When I went shopping for my birthday my best friend got me a voucher for Topshop and I couldn’t resist buying one of their lipsticks. I was browsing through the nudes and lighter pinks but nothing really caught my fancy. Then I saw Brighton Rock and as soon as I swathed it I thought ‘you are coming home with me’.
Like all Topshop products I love the packaging, black and white dots or in this case stripes. I have done a swatch for you in the picture above, it looks quite berry-ish in the photo but on my lips it is a bold medium pink with no shimmer but it isn’t matte. It is very bold, for me, but I can still get away with wearing this at the weekend. The formula is a little drying so I like to apply a lip balm before I put this on and then to soften the colour a bit I like to just blend it in and dab it a bit with my fingers. Alternatively I can build up the colour so it is a really strong lip but I like the finish when it is a bit more subtle. I would say that the colour its self lasts for around 2-3 hours and then it leaves a stain which I find looks really nice.
Overall I really like this lipstick and I definitely want to get a nude Topshop lipstick that I can wear on more a day-to-day basis. If you have any recommendations I would love to hear them!
