It's always a thrill when Lipstick Queen releases a new range, and this is a slightly interesting departure for the brand: a frosted "metallic" finish. Three shades will be available when the lipsticks are released in November, a nude, a red and a wine. I'm a HUGE fan of LQ's wine shades (having worn both Saint and Sinner Wine to a nubbin this year), so this was a nice lipstick for me to get hold of. Let's take a look:

I was a bit worried that the colour would look "frosted" on the skin, and therefore instantly transport me back to 1986, but I needed have worried. The lipstick is pigmented and rich (and unscented), and it is slightly more sophisticated than I would have expected from a metallic formulation:
Wear time is good, a full three or four hours or so before needing a touch up, but you will get the red ring of doom from this shade though. A bit, so it's slightly high-maintenance. I also find it slightly more drying than the regular Lipstick Queen formulation, so do make sure you prep with plenty of balm first. As you can probably tell from these shots, I didn't:
Metallics by Lipstick Queen will be on counter from early November.

Loving this. Looks superb for Autumn. I better get scrubbing my lips.
ReplyDeleteI wish it weren't so difficult to get this brand in Canada. I'd love to try this out, because I've always wanted a nice metallic red and this one looks to fit the bill.
ReplyDeleteI was in search for a metallic red and this looks really nice! I recently got my first LQ lipstick and I do like it so maybe this will be the next one.
