Best described as a worn in, slightly imperfect and almost youthful - in the sense some say it resembles the aftermath of eating one too many popsicles/ice lollies - the blotted lip is a step up from being a standard tinted lip balm, and a world away from flat, often drying, matte lipstick. In a nutshell it is comfortable, nonchalant (who doesn't aim to be effortlessly cool?), slightly lip plumping, and perhaps most importantly a trend that can be embraced by even the least steady of hands (aka perfect for the morning commute). For those eager to try on such look, Bobbi Brown have an entire range in the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour collection dedicated to the effect; think of this as a swipe and go lipstick revelation.
The Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colours are a marriage of a great lip balm and perfectly pigmented lipstick - never again will you have to sacrifice comfort over colour. Due to a hydrating and repairing base of vitamins C and E, coupled with beeswax, the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colours glide effortlessly onto the lips for long wearing yet nourishing, satin, splash of colour. The great thing about this formula is that it doesn't flake, feather nor bleed, and as it gradually fades to an even stain throughout the course of wear, it is the perfect candidate for creating the perfect blotted lip.
There are other lip products out there marketed to create a similar effect to the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour, the difference is that said alternatives are often skimpy in shade variety. If choice is what you want, the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour collection is expansive with no less that 20 glorious hues to choose from - most of which are universally flattering. From pinks, nudes, berries, reds and even brown tints, there is something for almost everyone. I'm not going to break down each shade or we'd be here all day but my personal favourite are: Angel (a soft, blue based pink), Bare (a pale but easy to wear nude) and Sunset (a bright coral-come-orange); however I have swatched and labelled all 20 shades for quick reference above.
For those like myself who like a fuss-free, moisturising lipstick that wears perfectly, then the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour collection is what you've been waiting for. I've been dubbing them as the perfect Winter lipstick as they are so nourishing and comfortable - even when my lips are dried out.
You can shop the entire collection via John Lewis for £20.40 per shade (the cheapest option within the UK) - link.
