The Most Underrated Lipstick EVER!
In the bullet, it looks a bit meh. Sure it's a pretty pink, perfect for spring but, for lipstick lovers like us who favour the brighter and more dramatic shades, it isn't exactly inspiring. However, on the lips it's a whole other story.
Lustering is, funnily enough, a Lustre finish. That means that it is quite sheer but, the colour is most-definitely buildable to a highly pigmented finish. It looks glossy on the lips without feeling sticky and it isn't at all drying or heavy.
Colour-wise, I would probably describe this as a pale watermelon pink. It is predominantly blue undertoned but, I can see some warmer yellow tones as well which I think would make it work well on most, if not all, skintones. It's what I would describe as the "perfect" neutral/nude lip but, more on that later this week!
This lipstick is everything I look for in an everyday spring/summer shade. The colour is juicy and fresh and brightens up even the most minimal make-up look (or tired, sleep-deprived face!) while the slick, shiny finish is light and carefree and makes a nice change from the heavily pigmented mattes and cremes of winter. I would happily wear this lipstick to work, to college or on a night out; it really is that versatile. It's also perfect if you are a bit afraid of colour but, want to dip a toe in the bright lipstick pool! Think of Lustering as Impassioned's more conservative little sister if you will!

Deletelooks great for cool skin undertones, but can it go with neutral ones? great color, I never came across it though O_o
ReplyDeleteI would say it would suit neutral and warm toned skins as well as, in different lights, it leans more pink or more yellow! I would kind of say it has a peach undertone if that makes sense? x
