On the rare occasion of wearing Make Me Magnificent I thought I might share my thoughts on it as well. I also have five other purple lipsticks coming in the mail (yeah) and I am hoping to trick myself into actually reviewing those as well by beginning right away.
The Makeup Revolution Atomic Lipstick in Make Me Magnificent is a medium lilac with a frosty finish.
The official swatches on the Makeup Revolution shop site were a bit deceiving (I honestly still have this issue even after they changed the swatch style on newer products and I always check out beauty blogs before ordering a product of theirs) and I was expecting a shimmery true purple. Well, for under two euros I wasn't particularly sorry to go wrong.
In the photos I am wearing two or three swipes of Make Me Magnificent over a medium berry lipliner. On its own it doesn't suit me at all, sheer lipsticks and glosses make me look feverish/post-vomit.
Overall I'd rate this lipstick 5/10.
Pros:
- good lasting power
- very affordable
- a unique, pretty colour
- moisturising formula
- a transparent sample jar on the lid allows easy identification among multiple lipsticks
- doesn't bleed or feather out of lines
- comfortable to wear
Cons:
- sheer pigmentation (not cute on its own)
- the bullet shape is incompatible with my lip shape (which is obviously a personal thing but the Atomic lipsticks have a very classic bullet with a single slanted surface that I cannot do my cupid's bow with no matter what)
- the taste gives me minor acid reflux
- the consistency is plain weird, like liquid plastic that floats above your skin (I only get this sensation upon initial application, you get used to it quickly)
Although the colour and finish were far from what I expected I warmed up to it, especially now in the summer, paired with a neutral grey smokey eye and dark blue clothing. It manages to be weird enough to compensate the grandma vibes.
How do you like Make Me Magnificent?
