As the summer months are now upon us, I was in search of a bright coloured lipstick that wasn't the typical coral shade - for example Mac, Costa Chic. When I was looking through youtube videos and other people's blogs, I came across Up the Amp by Mac. This is one of Mac's most well known shades and is a true purple.
The lipstick is in a bright purple colour with blue undertones and I can appreciate that for some people this may be too bold for everyday use. However coral coloured lipsticks completely washes me out so I turned to this and I absoloutely love it!
Up the Amp is an amplified lipstick. For those who do not know Mac lipsticks come in several formula's. Creemsheen for instance is a highly pigmented, hydrating
formula and is great for everyday use. There are also others including Matte and frost - frost being a sheerer coverage. Amplified however is a Mac's most pigmented lipstick and the colour lasts for hours. I have found that Up the Amp lasts for around 5 hours on me, this can also be said to be true for Mac's other amplified lipsticks. One thing I absolutely love about this lipstick is the stain it leaves on the lip. It doesn't bleed or flake, it just leaves a light purple stain left if it hasn't been reapplied,which is lovely.
If you're looking for a bold alternative for summer I would definitely purchase this lipstick! For those wanting a lighter, less obvious purple I would suggest Lavender Whip or Snob. For those looking for another purple to add to their collection, I would suggest Heroine or Rebel which is darker with more pink in it!
Love this lipstick, gorgeous!
