I don’t know how long you’ve been reading my blog for, but something you may have noticed quite quickly is that… I am not big on makeup. Not that I don’t like makeup. I am in aw of everyone who can create a full look. Coz I can’t. I am not big because I am lazy and just don’t know how to apply makeup. Boo me. So yes, my makeup looks are always minimal. But if there is something that is always part of it, an essential if you’d like, is a good lipstick.
Maybe it’s the French girl speaking. After all, I grew up in a country where the perfect makeup look is basically just mascara and bright lipstick. Quite minimal. A super quick to do. How not to make it boring? By choosing the right lipsticks for you and by changing color often.
Let’s start with pink and my three favorite pink lipsticks that will bring some colorful in this gloomy winter.
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty – Divine Lips Lipstick in shade Fontaine
The shade Fontaine is a very bright hot pink. It is perfect to make a statement and jazz up a minimalist or monochrome outfit. I have been wearing this shade on many occasion but I have found that it looks even better after a holiday in the sun, when your skin is all tanned and golden. It makes the pink pop up even more.
Joan Collins Beauty is not the most accessible makeup brand of all. You can find it at M&S and also on the brand’s official website. If you are looking for a good quality lipsticks, that is creamy, hydrating and long lasting, this is the one. It is the perfect compromise, between Charlotte Tillbury and Makeup Revolution, which both have pink lipsticks with a similar packaging.
Topshop – After Hours matte lipstick in shade All About Me
I have had this lipstick for a few years. The packaging changed since though. All black and sleek. Looking higher end and pricier, although it is still very affordable for a lipstick. It is also cruelty free, which is a very good bonus. Vegan friendly too. I don’t usually buy makeup in Topshop but I just fell in love with the shade.
The shade is more on the magenta side than on the pink side, which allows for some very bold lips. The pigments are very strong and they last very long, so there is no need to re-apply often. I like that the finish is matte, which gives it a more subtle look. There is a Rouge In Love Lancôme shade that is very close so if you are looking for a more affordable alternative, this is the one!
Mark. by Avon – Epic Lipstick in shade Be Loud
Last but not least, and also the most affordable of those three pink lipsticks. And it also contains primer! Which means that the pigments stay in place, the color lasts and the finish is flawless. And for having tried it, yes, I can confirm it is! Be Loud is the perfect affordable alternative for Clinique’s Pop Lip Color and Primer.
Color-wise, Be Loud is more similar to Fontaine from Joan Collins Beauty, although it is lighter and matter. Of the three, I think it is the most wearable and youthful. Share the packaging might not seem impressive but the creamy texture is the dream. And the color is just perfect for a super simple yet striking makeup look.
Now you are all set to have the most colorful winter!
Have you tried any of those three pink lipsticks? What did you think? What’s your favorite lipstick brand? And lipstick colour? Is a lipstick a makeup essential for you?
Thanks a lot for stopping by. I hope you liked this post.
See you soon, love, Corinne.
Those lipsticks seem to be grat. Never used them but after reading your post I might buy one. 🙂

Those lipsticks are just gorgeous, bright pinks aren’t always my colour but these shades look amazing. I didn’t know that Joan Collins has her own makeup range, will have to have a look into it! Xx
These lipsticks look like they’re beautiful shades, but I just cannot seem to pull off a pink lip – I just don’t know what it is!

I haven’t tried any of these lipsticks, they’re all super bright and I’m much more a nude lip person! I usually wear a lot of liquid lipsticks too but I have been using normal lipstick recently, Makeup Revolution do some great ones and I love my Mac one but they’re so pricey!

I’ve never been one for a bright pink lip (I’m more of a deep purple/nude person myself) but these three options look lovely. I imagine I’d be too pale to pull them off properly, but I’m really interested in the Avon one you mentioned. The fact that it comes with a primer is amazing. I might have to see if I can purchase the lipstick in another shade!

I am on the same boat as you. I try to keep my makeup to a minimal but love the looks that others pull off with full-on makeup. I love these shades of lipstick~ They look very rich and the finishing touches are great. I haven’t tried any of these brands before but I am big on MAC lipsticks. If not, I always like using the chubby sticks from Clinique. Thanks for sharing!

These are sounds found and have great different qualities about them! I would have to say my favourite brand of lipstick is Rosie for Autograph. They last super long on your lips, are really pigmented and don’t dry your lips in the slightest!

I’ver never been one for a bright lip since I’m more of a nudey pink person but these are some great picks! I’m really interested in the Topshop one you mentioned since I’ve never really tried their make up and I’m so intrigued by it since they’re a brand I’ve heard mentioned in a few posts now! I think the avon one sounds great since it comes with a primer which makes it last even longer! Some great picks and I love that you’ve chosen to go for more affordable brands rather than the likes of Charlotte Tilbury which I see a lot of people recommending! I’ll definitely be looking at these lipsticks in different shades since I’m not quite brave enough to purchase a bright pink yet. Great post!

Fontaine is such a beautiful shade! And the packaging reminds me of a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick, too! Bright reds don’t usually suit me that well but I’m usually a huge fan of more berry tones as I’m so pale! I’ve heard great things about Topshop lipsticks being really comfy to wear, too!

You sound like me, as I’m not great at applying make up either and am too lazy to study/learn it well ??♀️? All 3 of these lipstick colours are lovely, but I like the look of Fontaine the most. However when I do wear lipstick (it’s a rarity) I’m usually too scared to be as bold as this with the colours – maybe I should step out of my comfort zone?

Pink is not a colour I usually go for, I tend to stick with classic reds most of the time. Fontaine is a really pretty shade though, with beautiful packaging! I have a couple of Topshop lipsticks and the formulas are surprisingly good x

These colours are beautiful! I must confess, I don’t wear lipstick, but I do love the colours here. Pink is my favourite.
I am not much into pink lipsticks, I am red loving. But this shades looks amazing. Whoever don’t like a change. I will give it a try.
Pinks don’t look right on my skin tone BUT I love a bold lip color. I stick to reds and purples. 🙂
I am not a big fan of pink lipsticks because they don’t fit my skin tone. I usually wear darker shades of red, burgundy and, when I go out, deep red. They suit me best. 🙂
I LOVE pink lipsticks, I have a whole selection of them in my drawer. Like you, I find a bright lip paired with a simple eye can really lift my face. Funnily enough, I prefer wearing them with a paler face, I find pink and a tan just doesn’t work for me in the same way red does. That Joan Collins one looks gorgeous, suitably luxurious too. I’ll have to head over to M&S and hunt for it. Gorgeous photos too, thank you for sharing! x

I am so with you on not being big on make-up! Honestly, I’d rather spend extra time in bed or picking out a nice outfit than painting my face! That being said however, I really love your pink lipstick pics! You’re absolutely right that a bright colour sometimes gives you that pop of energy you need to get through a dull winter day! The Joan Collins beauty shade looks right up my street, I love the high-end packaging!

I’m not a lipstick person but I really wish I could pull them off! The Joan Collins packaging is beautiful but I’m a fan of the mark range from Avon!
Those colors are gorgeous!
It’s such a shame that as a ginger, a lot of pink shades look absolutely atrocious on me! ^_^
These are gorgeous colours, I love that they are so bright and bold! Be Loud sounds fab, especially as it is the most affordable and contains primer. Thank you for sharing Corinne, your photos are stunning! <3 xx

I just love these shades! I’ll have to try them out. I don’t wear a lot of lipstick, but once in a while I like to put it on.
I love the colors even though I don’t usually wear pink make up. It would probably be fun to try it though!
I haven’t heard of any of these lipsticks before but all of them are such beautiful colours! Pink is such a great colour lipstick to wear at any time of year but it certainly does help to brighten up those winter makeup days! xx

These lipsticks all look super pretty! I used to love a bright pink lipstick, but I’m not sure if these colours suit me now. Maybe it’s that I’m too comfortable wearing nude haha! Great post xx

I’ve not tried any of these shades but did used to love Topshop lipsticks when they had this packing- I can’t even recall seeing their new packaging actually. These all look like such lovely shades!

Such pretty shades for lips. I am a big fan of pink lips and these are so pretty.
I’m also not that big of a makeup person, but wow I can imagine these looking really good on you!

I am also not that good when it comes to makeup but I am always fascinated at how some are so pretty and really do look. These lipsticks are so bright and beautiful, I need to try out lipsticks more often.
All the 3 of them look bright and pretty! I personally adore hot pink the most.
Love these colours! Brightens up everything and makes me feel more awake, especially in the winter!
I love these colors so much. Unfortunately, I think they would look crazy on me. I just don’t have the skin tone to pull them off.
I’m very minimal when it comes to makeup as well! But, these are pretty colors!!
These pink lipsticks are the cutest! They give me serious longing for spring vibes and I am loving it! Sometimes these bright pinks look funny b/c I am so pale but these look like they may just work!
What gorgeous colours! A bright lip can change a whole look. These are great!
Now those are some gorgeous pink lipsticks! I have to admit I’ve never thought I could pull of pink but I 100% would be up for trying them again, perhaps a slightly different shade would work!
I like that you’ve included cruelty free products. I think they are the best option for your skin.
Oh my goodness! That was so beautiful! I really love the pink color, and that shades you share to us were so unique and lovely! I love them all!
Those are pretty shades of pink lipstick. My favorite color to wear especially on winter time just because it looks so cute.
These three pink shades do look lovely. Although I am not too sure how they would look with my skin tone. I generally use pink as a highlighter.
I haven’t used pink in awhile. I’ve been on a mauve kit. I’m thinking it’s so cheery though that I may switch it up again.
Those are so beautifully pink and bright! Winter can be so gray and dismal, it is nice to see a bright pop of color!
Love these shades! They’re so bright and vibrant – perfect for dark, dreary winter days x
I have not worn pink in a long time. I am such a red lippy girl but maybe for spring I will rock more pink.
I’ve used mark by Avon and I thought the colors were really vivid and I liked it. Lips are usually my go to makeup choice.
I love your set up! Wish I could get my hands on the hot pink one but I might not be able to since I’m from the US :'( ♥︎
Really amazing and useful article about lipstick. Thanks for sharing this knowledgeable information.
