Beauty Tried And Tested: The Best Pink Shimmer Lipsticks
Want to know what the best beauty products are before you buy? LOOK is here to help... this week our very own Beauty Editor Sophie Beresiner and LOOK reader Rebecca Thorogood have put pink shimmer lipsticks to the test...
Beauty Editor: I liked that this was subtle, rather than a full-on sparkle. The rounded tip wasn’t great for getting a clean line, so use a brush – it’s what the pros do! Rebecca: This went on smoothly and only needed one coat. It was bright, girlie and gave a gorgeous finish. The perfect holiday lippy. Beauty Score: 4/5
- Laura Mercier Shimmer Lip Colour in Camellia, £16
Beauty Editor: This shocking pink comes out even brighter on your lips and the sheen finish guarantees a high-impact pout. Attention-seeking at its best! Rebecca: Wow. What a bright, lip-popping colour! Although it was the most matt one it didn’t dry out my lips, but it did smudge easily. Beauty Score: 3/5
- ArtDeco Avant Garde Shimmer Lipstick in Fresh Fuchsia Shimmer, £14
Beauty Editor: A coral pink that looked like it was full of thousands of tiny crystals. It was ultra-moisturising but smudged easily so a good lip liner is a must. Rebecca: This felt slightly oily and I needed a few coats to stand out. The shimmer was pretty though. Beauty Score: 2/5
- Avon Ultra Colour Rich Mega Impact Lipstick in Fuchsia Fun, £5
Beauty Editor: I loved this foxy pink, packed with shimmer – spot-on for autumn’s glitter lips trend. The angular tip makes it easy to apply too. Rebecca: This was very bright so the shimmer finish looked great. It felt soft and the colour stayed put. Beauty Score: 5/5
