These Lisa Eldridge lipsticks were feature in the Barbie movie, so we had to try them of course…

National Lipstick Day has coincided with our international Barbie era. So it was only right that this week’s instalment of GLAMOUR Tries featured the Lisa Eldridge Velveteen Liquid Lip Colours.

The timing truly couldn’t have been more perfect, considering the recent revelations that Lisa Eldridge’s lip products graced Margot Robbie’s lips throughout the entire Barbie movie. To top it off, Mattel chose Lisa Eldridge as the official makeup for their Barbie Dreamhouse Pop-up shop in Selfridges, London. Armed with excitement and curiosity, we set out to put these lip colours to the test.

Available in eight un-dupable shades, the shades range from deep, sultry reds to soft, nude pinks. As the name suggests they’re formulated with a velvety texture that glides on effortlessly, leaving intense colour payoff and a radiant matte finish in a single swipe. The formula is also weightless with no dryness or discomfort in sight. The precision applicator is also designed to allow for easy and controlled application, so you can effortlessly define the contours of your lips.

As for staying power, celebrity MUA Lisa Eldridge wanted to create a product that can really last all day, fit for purpose for someone like President Barbie, or the Busy Barbie in all of us.

In true GLAMOUR form, we tested out these three popular shades of the Velveteen Liquid Lip Colours, to see if they can earned their place as a beauty must-have. Here are five people with different complexions’ honest thoughts.

Shade: Ribbon

I’m not one to wear a bold lip but I wanted to give these a go because it had major praises and I’m very much drinking the Barbie cool-aid too. I went for the punchy Ribbon red shade. A powerhouse of a colour, the hue of confidence. As I applied it on my bottom lip, it felt as soft and as velvety as promised. The wand is perfectly shaped for easy application which I love. It contours around the cupids bow effortlessly. The pigment is strong, so I cannot argue about the colour payoff, however, it had quite a cool undertone when it latched onto my dual colour lips. I think that my complexion needed a warmer hue, so I wasn’t obsessed with the shade itself.
