I tested three lipsticks with clever colour-changing tech – one hydrating option suits every wearer
IF I told you there was a lipstick that suits everyone I'd forgive you for telling me it's not possible. But thanks to clever colour-changing tech, which works like a mood ring for your lips, they do exist. 4 We test three lipsticks that have colour-changing tech Here, I put three to the test. BUDGET Barry M Genie Lip Paint, £5.99 for 3. 5g , superdrug .com 4 Barry M Genie Lip Paint transforms into a bright pink shade when swiped over lips Credit: Barry M On opening, this gave me a fright – the bright green bullet looks like it's straight off the set of But thankfully, it transforms into a bright pink shade when swiped over lips. The fuchsia stain sticks around for hours, so you won't need to top up. READ MORE ON LIPSTICK The hue is slightly too bold for me to want to wear every day – especially as I have very fair skin. But it's a great party trick if you're in a crowd, as it is guaranteed to start a discussion. MID-RANGE Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey, £25 for 1.9g, 4 Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey will bring out the dominant tones in your skin Credit: Clinique Unlike most adaptive lipsticks that use pH reactions to change colour, this is made with a unique mix of cool and warm tones, which will bring out the dominant tones in your skin. Most read in Fabulous Nude Honey is the newest launch in the iconic range, which started with Black Honey – which now sells seven times a minute globally – then saw Pink Honey added. With the most colour out of the three, Nude Honey has '90s brown pigments that really do suit every wearer. 'Lasts better than any lip color,' beauty fans gush about $9 lipstick combo that 'doesn't smudge' & 'stays on forever' I like that you can somewhat predict how it's going to look when applied – plus the formula hydrates your lips, so I've been wearing it every day. LUXURY Dior Addict Lip Glow, £33 for 3.2g, 4 The Dior Addict Lip Glow is brilliant once you find out which tone suits you Credit: Dior With 22 shades in the collection, split into warm and cool tones, it's hard to find the right one and almost defeats the point of a colour-changing formula. That said, once you've worked out which one suits you, you'll find it is brilliant. It's hydrating – the brand claims it moisturises lips for 48 hours, although I drink far too many cuppas for any And it provides just enough shine to make lips look fuller without the stickiness or gloopiness of a gloss. Plus, the pink and silver packaging is adorable. PICK OF THE WEEK THE Great British seaside is my happy place – so I love the fact the new Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple Cologne instantly transported me to an old-school ice-cream parlour. The limited-edition fizzy scent, £59 for 30ml, spotlights tart notes of raspberry with creamy musk. It's not too sticky or sweet, and has more staying power than most citrus fragrances – making it ideal for summer. See
