#AMonthOfMAC - Up The Amp

Purple lipsticks are a very marmite trend. On some people I think that can looks gorgeous. On me? I'm not so sure! I bought this lipstick as I'd seen it look really nice on several people. Unfortunately, I don't think it has the same effect when I apply it myself.

Up The Amp is what I'd describe as a magenta lipstick. It's a very pinky purple shade, and I thought the pink tones would make it look more wearable on my lips. I guess it kind of depends on my skintone at the time. I tend to wear this more in the summer, perhaps when I've got a bit more of a tan, and it can sometimes look ok.

It's such a shame that I'm not the biggest fan of the colour, because the formula of this lipstick is fantastic. It's so creamy smooth and applies really evenly to the lips. It's also really long wearing and fades evenly too. It's an amplified finish, hence the name and the really bright intense colour.
