![]() The finish was so smooth that we almost forgot we had it on. Overall, the color is more natural so this easily can be an everyday lipstick. Though the lipstick is celebrated for its comfortable feel, we had to apply multiple coats if we wanted a more saturated "pop" of color, but that might not be a bad thing. We also love that it's available in a rainbow of shades to flatter any skin tone. The tube's traditional bullet tip felt made for clean edges, so there's no need for a lip liner. Our team raved that the lipstick went on as smooth as butter and never dried, bled, or caked during hours of wear. The votes are in, and the Mac Matte Lipstick came out on top. Get in touch by emailing : From £2.It takes a few coats to build up the color enough to make an impact. The Dior lipstick is definitely a nice little bit of luxury to own, but I think when you can achieve an almost identical - or dare I say even better - look without spending £37, I can’t really see why anyone would bother. And if you are someone who already has a load of make-up at home, it’s not going to cost you anything to experiment. The final verdict:įor me the bargain version is the clear winner here, as you can use any lipstick you like, meaning you can test it out with various different shades and play around with different coloured glitter too. This obviously wasn’t something I could do with the Dior product, although some fans of it claim the more you press your lips together, the sparklier it gets, but I haven’t found this to be true. It was great to be able to control the level of sparkle I wanted, adding more or less as desired. To complete the look, I simply dabbed the glitter onto my lips using my finger and it worked a treat. Anything liquid or gel-like would also be great, as long as it has very fine glitter in it. To create the sparkly sequin finish, I couldn’t just press my lips together like before, so this time I raided my collection of eyeshadow palettes and after experimenting with a few, I realised that cream-based products were going to work best for this. This product is £10 to buy, and while it isn’t a liquid lipstick, it’s a unique one in that it has a hydrating hyaluronic core, meaning it gives you the matte look but doesn’t dry your lips out. (YAY girl math!) I selected a red lipstick that was as close to the Dior 999 shade as possible, which for me ended up being Avon’s Hydramatic Matte Lipstick in the shade Hydra Siren Red. ![]() To test this hack for myself, I used products I already had in my make-up bag, so it was free. If you already happen to have a red lipstick and some glitter eyeshadow or highlighter at home, then lucky you, as this won’t cost you a penny.īut if you need to buy these, it still doesn’t have to cost a fortune - you can make it as cheap as you want by picking any make-up brand that suits your budget.įor instance, in her TikTok video, Soph used the L’Oreal Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick in the shade 420, which costs £8.99 from Boots, as well as highlighter from the Lottie London Diamond Bounce Trio, which is sold out at ASOS but previously cost £6.95. I pressed my lips together harder a few more times, mashing them about, still to no avail.īaffled, I took to TikTok to see if others had experienced this and if there was a fix, and it seems I wasn’t the only one who had struggled with this problem.Īccording to the pros I needed to start all over again, making sure I had absolutely nothing on my lips and then wait even longer than the instructed five minutes before pressing my lips together. The first time I applied it, I set a timer and pressed my lips together… and nothing happened. The instructions on the box say: ‘Press lips together after allowing it to set for 5 minutes to reveal a sparkling glitter finish.’ While I’m not convinced 999 is my shade of red, the product goes on nice and smoothly, however it took me a few goes to actually get the glitter to activate. ![]() This is officially now the most expensive lipstick that I own, and I can see why it’s pricey.Įverything about this oozes luxury, from the silver CD logo on the lid, to the sleek packaging and the applicator that just might be the best that I’ve ever used - it’s perfectly shaped to glide over the lips, with the small tip able to get any hard to reach or awkward spots.īut I digress, after all, the actual lipstick is what we care about here.
