Illamasqua’s Atomic lipstick is a non-hooker fuchsia pink with blue flashes makes for one hawt Spring/Summer lipstick!
It’s packed with pigment for an opaque, matte finish which is pretty unforgiving on lips that are in anything but the best condition.
I own a few Illamasqua lippies and they are all hard-textured, solidly opaque affairs that are unkind to dry lips but I think this is the most drying yet and should be accompanied with a lipgloss.
I know that some will be happy to sacrifice moisturisation for lasting power and Atomic has plenty of this, with the kind of longevity you’d expect from a stain rather than a lipstick. Thanks to the hard texture of the lipstick, you shouldn’t get too many bleeding issues from this bright. I didn’t notice any problems despite not using a lip liner… it just doesn’t move.
Overall: Illamasqua Atomic lipstick* is an awesome shade with amazing pigment, incredible lasting power but potentially quite uncomfortable to wear without proper lip preparation.
Illamasqua Atomic is a shade from the Toxic Nature collection and is available to buy on counter, instore or online priced at £15.50

I’ve got this one, too and I LOVE it! Interesting, how unlike you, I don’t like it with a gloss. And I even think that this particular lipstick looks better even on my dry lips than the other shades that I have…
Speaking of the shade (which is gorgeous) most of my girlfriends loved it while men ehm didn’t, not to say that they hated it.

Too bad it’s drying + uncomfortable to wear – it’s such a pretty color.

Makes me wonder if this is Welt by a different name as the description sounds identical to the lipstick i have ( and mine looks nothing like the Welt on their website????). Welt was in their sale recently and i picked it up. Love the colour, especially with the blue fash. I wear Welt alot, so will pop in with it, to compare!
Looks great on you!
With any Illamasqua lipstick, i apply balm when i start doing my makeup. By the time i get to my lips, they are ready for the lipstick and my lips dont feel dry that way.

I love the colour and the subtle blue sheen. I’m never sure about the Illamaqua lipstick formula, but it does last even if it is slightly dry and hard

Looks great on you! Would be too cool-toned for my colouring though.
