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

You look soooo pretty, gorgeous shade on you 🙂 xx
My Gosh that is stunning! You just woke up my addiction for fuchsia lipsticks!
It’s a smidge too frosty for my liking but it’s a pretty colour!
I love it!! big fan of a bit of frosting…really suits you as well !!
Your lips must be in perfect condition, it looks awesome on you!
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.

I love the shade and the price is not so high too…
Too bad it’s drying + uncomfortable to wear – it’s such a pretty color.
How odd, I have a few Illamasqua including this and I find this one the LEAST drying and most comfortable!
It is a beautiful colour
Stacie xoxox

really, really pretty, Charlotte
drying huh? it’s the most gorgeous color ever though!
That’s a gorgeous shade and it really suits you!
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.
Wow, that is so pretty! *covets*
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.
