When Clinique says Pop I am always up for it because it’s such a fantastic range of makeup products. The blush pops are incredible and all the lip products are to die for. There’s a new lip product joining the line up and it’s an edgier, rather interesting addition. Check out the brand new Clinique Pop Lip Shadow Cushion Matte Lip Powder range. These are weightless matte lip powders with bold pigmentation. Here’s what you need to know.

Clinique Pop Lip Shadow Features

First of all, I love the packaging. If you enjoy the super sleek look of the Hourglass Confession lipsticks, then the look of these will certainly appeal.

It’s a totally different kind of lip product though, and definitely one for the matte lovers among us.

• Weightless matte powder
• Delivers bold, highly pigmented colour
• Super saturated creamy pigment
• Full coverage finish
• Sponge applicator with anti-bacterial action
• Available in 8 shades

I love the idea of a lip shadow because a diffused matte lip look is pretty cool right now. This is exactly what the Clinique Pop Lip Shadow delivers. The shape of the cushion applicator makes it easy to line and fill the lips. You can go straight in on bare lips or use a layer of lip balm first for extra comfort.

Last night I went for 05 Blossom Pop over a nude lipstick and absolutely loved it.

I suggest a light layer of balm underneath, and you’ll end up with a beautiful long-lasting matte lip stain. Here is Crimson Pop:

Alternatively, you can use the powders to set and mattify a lipstick. Up to you!
